Same ddt. Working in service design for govtech. Bikes, books, cats. But I get out. All content here is personal.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social This is now what I see if I turn around in my desk chair.
Two kittens, one a grey tabby and the other an orange creamsicle, look up expectantly at the camera, which is above them. They are on a blue blanket at the base of a desk chair.

@erikahall.bsky.social My new roommates are available for celebrity endorsements
A row of books, many from A Book Apart and Rosenfeld Media. Behind the books, one ginger-and-white kitten pops their head up. A grey tabby’s ears are visible in front.

If you see this, post a #StarTrek
Captain Kirk from The Original Series, a youngish white male with a clean-shaven face and light hair, is almost sideways to the camera but has turned his face towards it. He is lit dramatically so half his face is in darkness. He has a slightly surprised expression. The photo is in high-contrast black and white to be more noir.

I mean, I'm avoiding updating my computer and phone, so maybe not just yet
An email from Apple Developer Relations with the subject "Get closer to the new design".

I can tell you right now that this doesn't meet 508 compliance, @workday.com
A web calendar component showing 2024 across the top and a four-column, three-row matrix of the months. The months are in near-black on a white background. The 2024 is the same near-black on a slightly gray but almost white background. There are also a left and a right arrow flanking the 2024, but these arrows are white and blend into the near-white as to be almost invisible.

Seen on my ride this morning
A short pier juts out into still water from the perspective of the shoreline. A few people are out on the pier. There is some blue sky but it and much of the water is partially obscured by a low fog.

Honest Q: Where can we find that? I'm guessing it's a "show" but
A screenshot of a web page menu. The top level is "Shows", which is selected, to reveal five listed shows.

Indication that this is indeed intended as a walking path.
The brown grassy area leads to a crosswalk and a traffic island

This is the only path to get from A to B. It’s not accessible for people with assistive tech, but apparently is accessible for cars! #urbanism
Grass swath by the side of a road. There are trampled paths that indicate people have walked here. Also a knocked-down “right turn only” sign.

Locals tell me they’ve never seen these streets filled with cars, yet look at this traffic engineering
Four wide lanes in four directions at an intersection with no bike lanes and no cars. Along the streets are condo buildings. One pedestrian.

This is the walking route in Irving TX
Two feet of sidewalk that dead ends into grass by a frontage road next to a highway

I’m not sure there actually is an “urban center” here. I’m trying to find sidewalks! #urbanism
Six lanes of highway, with a sign reading “Las Colinas Urban Center”. There are few buildings, no walkways, no stores, no bike lanes.

Figured @edzitron.com should see this unsolicited introduction going around
A LinkedIn mail saying, "My team and I pioneered API automation in cybersecurity, now bringing that same playbook to big data platform automation, we are the SpaceX of Technology for the US Gov. We are NOT a service company, barf, we own what we build and license it to the US Gov, like as SpaceX does with NASA."

Maybe this headline was overdetermined:
A headline from The Guardian UK, with a photo of an older white male, with mixed gray hair, wearing a dark suit and tie with a white shirt: "Wealth tax would be deadly for the French economy, says Europe's richest man."
