Kad ietve ir tik trashy, ka labāk ar līkumu pa taciņu.
Pie tam pie PMLP un iekšlietu ministrijas :)

It's weeds vs desire paths in Los Angeles for the next couple of months.

This would be my favorite #desirepath around home. There are a few ridgelines in Woodland Hills where they couldn't manage to sell buildable lots, let alone squeeze in a road. However pedestrians have created these paths connecting what are otherwise dead-end streets for cars.

Desire Paths are a field of scientific study.
There are observations around the characteristics of them. They appear to be following some spatial "rules"
* 3 desire paths rarely cross in 90° angels, rather they approach each other in curves
* crossing of 2: they keep their straight trajectory
These rules are only listed on german wikipedia, not the english one 🤔

Somebody doesn't understand what a #desirepath is.

I've been treating these #ux sessions like a mini #dnd game. It's been fun to see which participant gets into the #RollPlaying. It's a really fun framework to hang the #DesirePath ux off of.

So far my campaign is "your boss is a jerk who's asked you to do this work last minute because the company you use has been acquired and aren't as helpful as they used to be."

No dragons, but the DM (me) will conjure any button or menu you can imagine 🧙‍♀️

Videos will take a while to edit though. Sorry!

Snapped a few desire lines around town.

Gone off topic but this can double as my for the day.

Weighing up how I build the desire lines data schema and what makes the cut.
First one has become quite a heavily used locals track that skirts closer to the river...

Stumbled across the term "psychogeography" which Wikipedia describes as "the exploration of urban environments that emphasizes interpersonal connections to places and arbitrary routes."

I've come to realise that I put a lot (maybe too much?) of thought into the routes I choose, be it for commuting, getting across town, or a lunchtime walk. Deciding the route can be driven by.. efficiency, spatial distribution of the desti

I wish people would think more critically about . If all your paths are , you basically end up with all the paths optimized to the median walker.

If you've ever read about design, you've probably encountered the idea of #PavingTheDesirePath. A #DesirePath is an erosion path created by people departing from the official walkway and taking their own route. The story goes that smart campus planners don't fight the desire paths laid down by students; they pave them, formalizing the route that their constituents have voted for with their feet.

Today's #Inktober piece comes with a shout out to the lovely folks at reddit.com/r/desirepath

Day 3: Path
#Inktober2023 #DesirePath

Digital painting of the word "path". A suburban street corner, where a rose(?) bush grows in a grassy corner lot. A diagonal "desire path" is worn through the grass, signifying many people have cut the corner there rather than use the intended paved sidewalk.
