Welcome to my site. Here you will find some info about me, the things I do and a listing of upcoming (and past) presentations and lectures. While I initially expected most of my posts to be about Open Source/Free Software (hence the name), these days it's mostly rants and ramblings about running.

RIP Bob Arihood

Posted October 1st, 2011 by eric

Today the lower east side became a little less wonderful. I learned from EV Grieve http://evgrieve.com/2011/10/rip-bob-arihood.html that Bob Arihood died from a heart attack sometime last night or this morning.

Bob was one of those people that I did not know well, but who I saw on the street often over my twenty-plus years here. He was a citizen journalist, an encyclopedia of history of the neighborhood and seemed to know everything about the politics of the City from anarchist protests to internal democratic party conflicts. He was also one hell of a photographer. You can find the past 5 years of his photos of the neighborhood on his blog, Neither More Nor Less: http://neithermorenorless.blogspot.com/

RIP comrade.

Today's photos are of a slaughtered tree:

I saw this walking home today and thought of the folks participating in the Occupy Wall Street protests
