I want them to fix that as well, but I don’t use it anymore, there is a safer route.

I think I’ll shutdown the cron job tracking the history for YR4. I enjoyed seeing the curve!

Dear lazyweb, Do you know how to easily reflow text from Safari? I run into these fixed with text blocks that Safari’s reader mode don’t touch.
I can work around but wonder if somebody made an easy way.

We went for a hike yesterday, this view was a great consolation for Paradise being closed.

Today I decided I wanted to understand how the including the curvature of the Earth might impact a relief map... a 3D model of terrain. I learned a bit about Coordinate Reference Systems and decided it could be interesting to add this to my model engine.

Yesterday I rode my trainer and listened to @standupmaths.bsky.social’s Love Triangle. This led me to want to animate some triangles and today I made this flappy triangle. Two arms spin and stretch randomly, stopping only if they become a triangle. A little fun with MatPlotLib for Python.

I’m digging into a story map idea I’ve had for the last decade. The Grand Canyon has become the forcing the issue for me.

Dirt that came off my bike today even after rinsing it when we got home. Saturday was so messy.

This weekend I rode in my first randonneuring event. I rode 63 miles on mostly muddy gravel.
It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden in a group of strangers and I see I fit in where I always have, the fast of the slow.
