Remember that giant weird filthy rope thing that used to hang in Embarcadero station?

I do.

A dossier especially for my Bay Area pals.

The Big BART Macramé

The fifty-foot rope sculpture that hung in Embarcadero BART for thirty-six years. Cleaned twice. Removed for $300,000. Buried for $2,000.

@hotdogsladies Could you talk a little bit about the design of this new website of yours? Because I haven’t seen anything quite like for years and years.

Yeah, you bet. It's a new thing I do with Claude Code that I call "Dossiers."

This page is a start, but I'd be happy to share more detail on how I do it. Just say the word.

@hotdogsladies Now I have looked, and I am fascinated. This is the first website in forever that I have seen that looks different from all the others. I also wonder if this what your design esthetic can be when it has room to bloom. Awesome work. And, yes, please elaborate for a bit on how this came to be.
