The Nick Baker Report
This blog has been largely dormant since I started posting my pics to Flickr, so enjoy a sampling of posts from this week in history.
Outwitted By My Alarm Clock (2005)
I had a dream this morning that I was going to outwit my alarm clock somehow. I remember discussing tactics and plans with about five other versions of myself, and covering the dozens of steps we were going to go through in the process of waking up, in order to prevent the alarm clock from buzzing. You can guess what brought this dream to an abrupt halt.August 30, 2005 @ 10:02 pm [2 comments] [link]

New High Mark (2005)
For those who haven't heard yet, I set myself the goal of riding up Mt. Greylock on my bike. I'm starting from my house at 642 feet above sea level and hoping to make it to the top of Mt. Greylock at around 3500 feet.I just made it to 1740 feet on my ride up Mt. Greylock this evening, a new record for me! It's only a third of the elevation change, but over half way as the crow flies. For the first time today, I began to think that I could really make it to the summit this season. And, for the first time I turned around, not because I was exhausted, but because it was getting dark.

Capitalist Pigs (2007)
We looked out the window at the construction site next to the library, and saw what appeared to be a foreman wearing this t-shirt. It was so pro-management that I had to take a picture.
Show Up: Get to work on time, fight absenteeism.
Shut Up: Don't chit chat on the job (or rabble-rouse, or unionize).
Keep Up: Stay on schedule, work harder.
It's only twenty feet from my desk to the construction site, but it's a world apart.
