Still reading this book - do fellow OSMers recommend any Mappy books?
The story of Agloe NY is amazing, and the chapter about ITV regions, especially Thames/LWT had me in fits of giggles

The other day it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

An interesting thread in the UX of tabs and bookmarks.
My browser tabs are a depressing history of best intentions but unfinished tasks. There must be innovations to come?

Favourite Stations - Baker Street

Meet Anne, a Metropolitan Line train operator and photographer. Her favourite underground station is Baker Street

I've started a new branch of the Tube Mapper project exploring people's favourite stations or stops on the London Underground Tube Map. I meet people at their favourite stations, taking photos and interviewing them to find out what makes it so special.

What is your favourite station, and why?

Bose is saving the world from tons of electronic garbage by open-sourcing their discontinued speaker. This applaudable behaviour should be the default for all IoT manufacturers, as it brings true sustainability to the tech in our homes.

Daughter just came home to tell me the teachers at school tried to confiscate her vape but they couldn't because it's actually a kazoo.

"I made a kazoo noise at them and I could see them dying on the inside so I made a sad kazoo noise instead. I don't think it helped."

The grin on her face.

Happy new year! During 2025 my all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds, and this picture shows what happened in the sky. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.
