The only picture I took at last night's game. Denton is awarded a penalty in stoppage time to beat Hattiesburg 2-1. #Soccer #Football #Denton #DentonDiablos #Diablos #TheBeautifulGame #USL2

The fake MAHA health report released by the White House was written by AI because there's nobody left in the Trump administration either smart enough to write it or smart enough to see the errors in it.

Working on something for Reticulum/NomadNet. It's a little script that takes CalDAV subscriptions and turns them into linked micron pages. If the internet ceased to function in your town tomorrow, what networked features would you like to see that could be supported by 1.07kbps?

Announcing: justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Twenty years ago, we complained about the lack of sidewalks on Stuart between Ginnings and Strickland. They gave us new bike lanes (there were old faded ones). Ginnings is scheduled to be rebuilt, and now sidewalks go up on Stuart. But I wonder how they will address this pinch point where the electric pole and guy wire block the way. This pole is reltvly new and could have been put in a different place if the streets dept and DMU coordinated better. #Denton #DentonTX (edit: autocorrect fixes)

Electric pole and guy wires are exactly where one expects the sidewalk to go.

FACT: The more people choosing to walk, bike & take public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS.

Anyone claiming that less car dependency is a “war on cars” doesn’t understand how cities (or geometry) work.

It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

If you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city, it works better for everyone, including drivers. — Brent Toderian
