Part time philosopher, full time coder. I dabble in many things. One day I will probably write half a novel about it.

I'm not much of a photographer, but I like to play one on Instagram.

Weinberger takes over Burlington’s City Hall

by Joel Banner Baird at the Burlington Free Press

A jubilant crowd delivered the fanfare for Miro Weinberger as he stepped up as Burlington’s 42nd mayor.

…

The new mayor made no mention of his predecessor, Progressive Mayor Bob Kiss, who sat quietly near the back of the auditorium. Nor did anyone else; his name was not mentioned in public comments all night.

No surprise there. Kiss, we all know you meant well but you really need to own up to Burlington Telecom mess.

Burlington rallies for slain Florida boy

via The Burlington Free Press:

Vermont and other states need to continue to fight ongoing racism that permeates our society.

That was the common thread in messages from about three dozen speakers during a rally Tuesday night at Burlington City Hall to remember a 17-year-old boy fatally shot Feb. 26 in Florida. Trayvon Martin, who was black, was killed in Sanford, Fla., as he returned to the home of his father’s girlfriend after buying candy and iced tea.

The shooter, George Zimmerman, a neighborhood crime-watch volunteer, has said the killing was in self-defense, and he has not been arrested.

The “We Are Trayvon Martin” rally drew about 250 people of all races and ages concerned about the Florida case, especially the police investigation.

It was a moving scene. Things like this make me proud to be a Vermonter, but the message that needs to be spread far outweighs my pride - that there is still so much work to be done to combat institutional racism in this country, and it starts with the individual.
