There was a blackout affecting the Southern California region today. The lack of light outside as a result allowed me to experiment a bit with the Bulb exposure setting on my camera. Bulb exposure can be summed up pretty simply: the shutter is actuated by pressing the shutter, and it remains open until you decide to let go of the shutter release.

Here are my two worthwhile results:

Are there any other uses for bulb mode outside of lightwriting and capturing car lights?

I hid the news link in the OP, but here's the explanation from another thread:

LA TIMES: A utility worker doing maintenance near Yuma, Ariz., triggered a massive blackout that jammed roads, closed schools and businesses, grounded planes and left more than 4 million people across a large swath of Southern California and Mexico without power.

The first picture is a car driving along the road outside my window. All the camera can pick up clearly is the light sources: headlamps, tail lights, etc.

Long exposures are great for taking pictures of dark areas like night time landscapes, extremely low light still-life photography (like moody indoor shots), and, of course, of star trails.
