I’ll be manning the #Ballard Celebration Station with Ballard Fremont Green Streets! Get your donuts and coffee and free swag at 11th & 53rd! #Seattle #SEAbikes #BikeEverywhereDay #bikeEverywhereDay2026

"Die-hard combustion-engine fans may say they'll only accept EVs 'over my dead body.' Well, here you go."

Well played, Car and Driver.

Just some of the speakers who turned up in #SouthLakeUnion #Seattle for the #fixTheL8 #busLanes announcement.

It’s a media frenzy at the #fixTheL8 announcement in SLU! #busLanes #urbanism #Seattle

Happy new #lightRail day! Waiting in a massive line at Judkins Park to board the #2line from #Seattle to #Redmond. So many people and organizations are here. Awesome spirit. #urbanism #transit #SoundTransit #publictransport

I picked up a 1998-era, floppy diskette-based, Sony Mavica digital camera recently. Today, I took it to the #UWCherryBlossom trees for the first time. Filled an entire 3.5" disk with shots like these.

New #decentralized toy of the day: bought my first #Meshcore radio, about $30 with an enclosure and a battery (though the battery doesn't fit in the enclosure, strangely). As an #IRC veteran, it's fun to see relay chat that doesn't involve the Internet. True #peerToPeer networking. This could be fun.

Say what you will about corporate-backed voter initiatives, but I’m glad that #Rivian is supporting a ballot initiative in Washington to allow for direct sales by car manufacturers to consumers. #Tesla is the only company allowed to do this in #WA; Rivian and #Lucid can’t sell an #EV directly from their showrooms or offer test drives.

Legendary #Seattle sandwich shop #Salumi cannot take online orders or provide rewards points today, due to the #AWSoutage. Still serving, though. #sev2 #meatOps

This year, the #PortlandRetroGamingExpo’s venue, the Oregon Convention Center, is also the site of one of #Portland’s #NoKings protests. If you have tickets, be flexible and patient today! #prge #PRGE2025

Looking forward to attending @ProjectJupyter 's #jupytercon2025 in November in #SanDiego. I'm excited to meet more of the #Jupyter developers I worked with during my most recent job, most of whom I've never seen in person.

#RankedChoiceVoting nerds might appreciate these visualizations. #AndrewCuomo finished second in the primary, but “Cuomo and nobody else” was the most-voted ballot.

This is probably the most #coding I’ve done since starting my #careerBreak almost 4 months ago, and I did so via #raspberryPiConnect on an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard. Didn’t work great; Safari kept interrupting the connection in the tab that had my remote terminal session.

@davidnjoku One way I’ve found to counter #EV #rangeAnxiety is to look at the miles, not the percent, and think about how far you can go. I was mildly panicking when my car hit 25% for the first time, but the guess-o-meter said I could go 75 miles, and at the time, I was 25 miles from home.

#Seattle residents: please sign Seattle YIMBY's petition to tell #SeattleCityCouncil to keep neighborhood centers, allowing more #housing (including #affordableHousing and #socialHousing) in neighborhoods like #Ballard, #Fremont, and #PhinneyRidge.

#Ballard has a new #carsharing option, before #GIGCarShare has even left #Seattle. #ZEV is renting a #ChevyBolt #EV by the hour or the day. It lives at Town & Country Market, on the side. https://zev.coop/

@deanbetz I had a similar list to you and ended up with a used #BoltEV. Realistic range is ~250 miles, but I’m planning some 300+ mile trips, and chargers are plentiful in the West, I hope. Hoping to read some good books while I wait for its slow “fast” charger, too.

The #BallardBridge has been stuck open for half an hour, with no other ship canal crossings for miles. We really need to stop relying on drawbridges as critical infrastructure. #Seattle #Ballard #urbanDesign #urbanism

Announcing the first Jupyter Executive Council, Software Steering Council, and a new governance structure. (In addition to my work visualizing elections, I now tabulate them, too.)
