What Happened When I Posted About a Police Beating Near My Home on #Instagram

Yesterday, on my Instagram (which is usually just a lifestream), I posted the above screenshot of an article reporting on a police beating not far from my apartment in northern Manhattan, New York City. Sometimes I post screenshots of news articles like this because it's an easy way to quickly comment about a news story and have it crosspost easily to my blog. The vast majority of the time, this tactic inspires no one to comment on the original Instagram post. If someone does comment, it is always an agreeable response. However, this was not the case with this post about the police beating.

And this brings me to the question that is on my mind.

Shot these icicles a few nights ago. Amazing we're still getting snow in March.

I posted this photo on Instagram yesterday, but for some reason IFTTT.com doesn't like my Wordpress credentials. Not sure why this is. Hopefully it's just temporary. In the meantime, I'm posting each photo manually today:

TheGlasLog: Living in the Big Apple with Glass

Yesterday morning my wife and i were on our way to midtown for the day where we had various errands/meetings etc, together and on our own to do/have. As always when I go out, I was wearing Glass. On the way to the subway, a random stranger stopped us... and asked where the nearest subway station was.

Over the following afternoon of wearing it to Starbucks, Subway (the fast food place), and several other places with LOADS of humans, not one of them approached me about Glass.

Just before going home, I stopped off at Trader Joe's and had my Glass hanging around my neck by one of those strings designed for glasses. As the very energetic and hip cashier lady scanned my items, she pointed at my chest and said something I didn't understand.

"Sorry?" I said.

The #moon was looking pretty full and bright over my neighborhood tonight after the movie--especially #throughglass

Draw Every Day 4/21/12: Standing Man Fort Tryon Park

I started drawing this guy just as he decided to walk away. Literally. I started with the brim of his cap and then, after being there for a half hour, he left.  >_<  So, he's from memory and everything else is my interpretation of what was in front of me.

uh-oh! Two Mister Softee trucks this close together? This can't end well...
