This is the one with my 12 of 12.
Posted June 13th, 2010 by Mike Lawson
On the 12th day of each month bloggers all over the world take 12 photos throughout the day and post them on their blogs. It’s Chad Darnell’s idea, and you can see his website and a list of links here.
To see my photos from past months, click here.
Here are my photos from June 12, 2010.
After working out I went to my favorite place in Tempe…the Public Library. And this visit earned me the mayorship on Foursquare.
I ended up getting a book on CD (a book I’ve read about five times…don’t ask) and the newest James Patterson paperback.
Nobody has ever been able to give me a definitive answer to this very important question: is it legal to drive while listening to an iPod?
I stopped at work to get some crap done that I knew I wouldn’t have time to do next week. Summer Camp is both fun and exhausting. Eleven hour workdays are draining.
This is my in-box. Half of it just needs to be filed away. The other half is crap I haven’t had time to look at yet.
Stopped and had coffee with Drew at Lola Coffee in Phoenix.
I love this building. Hanny’s is an old department store that they’ve turned into a restaurant/bar. Totally over-priced but the building is freaking cool.
Too many people are tweeting about and Facebook about soccer. Totally bugs. Maybe I’m just jealous that I don’t get it.
Thanks to a review on Yelp, Drew and I found a quaint Vietnamese place that was delicious and cheap as hell.
This is Chloe. She is too hyper to sit still for pictures. This is the best one out of about 100.
I hate the term “night-cap” to describe an alcoholic beverage sipped right before bed or at the end of an evening. Therefore I will not use that term to describe this Coke Zero and Vodka beverage that was consumed before calling it a night.
The ever-so persistent D. Gotta check my blood before bed.

To answer your question on pic #3, yes it is.

Wait…Coke Zero? Before bed? Are you crazy?
We both took dog photos!
When I lived in Tempe, I spent many hours in that library.

What a great photography meme!
Coke & vodka, I’ll have to try that. I’m a Baileys & Kahlua kinda gal.

Humulin R with a syringe… You’re old school!
I’ve never heard of “12 of 12″ (I’m still new to this), but I’m making a note to do it in July!

If not illegal, listening with headphones while driving has got to be a bad idea. On some level it detracts from your situational awareness.

Derek,
I can’t see how it is any worse than listening to really loud music. Right?

Hahah…I know, I’m old school. I wish I had a pump. Like every day I think about it.
One day soon!

I initially thought it should be discouraged, iPodding while driving, then wondered how it’s different to the radio or talking. I guess it’s that those don’t involve headphones, so an iPod decreases your ability to hear other sounds outside. Yes as someone pointed out, you might have the radio on loud – but most people I’d hope are sensible enough to keep it at a volume that still lets them hear things outside the car.

I love the photo of Chloe – a) she’s gorgeous, and b) the photo has a wistful, nostalgic, arty feel to it!
(I was horrendously late putting my 12 of 12 up, but they are now. I held off on commenting so that people knew when I left a comment, my own was up – the only way I could think of to let people know when I posted! http://dogearedphotos.blogspot.com/2010/06/12-of-12-v50-june.html)
