Lazy me

The month of May has been a fairly busy one for me, but I have neglected my blog.

At the beginning of May I attended the Freedom festival at Queen's park in Toronto. This was formerly known as the 'Million marijuna march'. I was unable to attend the whole thing because I went to my niece's first birthday party. It was also free comic book day on the same day (May 2).

I also submitted a proposal to the city of Hamilton for a 'Bike Share' program. These would be public access bicycles provided for and maintained by the city, as a way of alleviating traffic problems as well as encouraging cycling. This was part of their 'Switching gears' master cycling plan.

I joined into an organization called 'Think| Haus'. This is a group of inventors that shares a public space as a shop, as well as tools and know-how. They will be formally opening next Tuesday, June 2.

I have also been accepted to set up my scale model of the solar system at the FIGMENT art festival on Governor's Island in New York City. I'm calling this project the Third Millenium project, since it is a future-history which is looking back at the progress of humanity from the year three-thousand.

I am having a fund-raising party to help pay for this event. The party will be in the basement of the London Tap House in Hamilton, Ontario. It will be called 'Space Lounge', with the theme being, of course, the solar system.
