Alleged geographer at the ⋂ of cities, technology, and climate adaptation. Reluctant polygon enthusiast. Sometimes I work on computational geometry and spatial data algorithms, which I promise almost never to discuss.
Come to an island in the Stockholm archipelago where the nice baker took the young lady to meet the giant kitty she spied, nodding approvingly at the resulting squeaks of joy. Also everyone drives heavily modded cargo trikes and nods a friendly hello to you and your child.
No, but she can mimic a crow perfectly. No, we don’t know where she learned it, and it’s frankly nobody’s business but her own, and perhaps the crows’.
You can just do things: for instance, you can visualise the impact of July wildfires in Europe and North America on air quality using calibrated sensor data available on ATProto.
Come to the National gallery, where the security guards will laugh while your child does this
Oh to be a little baby having a morning nap in the botanic gardens, surrounded by exotic flora and kindly retired women.
Travelling with my Struwwelpeter tote so the locals know I’m “one of them” (someone whose childhood was marked by nightmares about having their thumbs cut off with a giant pair of scissors. Otherwise completely normal.)
This is Mr Clickle-Clackle. His japes are much-beloved by my daughter. We find him unsettling. Worse, he has a twin, as yet (perhaps thankfully) unnamed.
This evening’s mystery is how my daughter’s little yellow dress made its way from VEB Kinderoberbekleidung in Freital (www.archiv.sachsen.de/archiv/bestand…) to the Oxfam on Thomas St, in Dublin. It must have been manufactured before 1990, since the VEB became a GmbH in 1990.
My daughter chases a seagull which is probably about her size. It being a university seagull – MA (Dublin) – it easily evades her.
The hexagon is the largest regular n-gon that admits a tiling of the Euclidean plane, which is, I think, all that needs to be said concerning this afternoon’s announcement.
Mistook this for something we were going to buy for the child on Vinted for €7. Apologies Jonathan, I was not familiar with your game.
No, the "Next" link stays greyed out when I click "Publish as Looseleaf" (see screenshot). I'm authenticated to leaflet using my ATproto (eurosky.social) account. Happy to share DIDs / anything else.
[desperately trying to rile up everyone on Bluesky] This is how every white-collar job is going to end up.
The new office affords an excellent view of the apparently spectral tour guides. The living are but the latest casualty of university cost savings.
