ITHCWY Newsletter for July 2024
I have wanted a decentralized social network for a long time. Maybe this Fediverse thing is starting to get legs. Bluesky and Mastodon can now talk to each other via Bridgy Fed. Threads can post to Mastodon. ITHCWY has been on ActivityPub for a year now and it's become a significant source of traffic and comments. If you are on Mastodon or a federated service you can follow me at @[email protected]. I plan to get even more federated over the next year.
I waded foolishly into the debate around turning the Great Highway in San Francisco into a park, and found that the data doesn't support the fear of carnage in the Sunset when this road is closed. I also made a custom GPT to discuss the San Francisco budget with, and had to spend some time writing the missing manual to even know what to ask. Too late now, but here's a guide to the March ballot measures (watch this space for November) On a national level I got to update my NPVIC page now that Maine has joined.
Some photos... I knew that black bears could be brown, this one is very brown. Some humpback whales. The first commercially available glow-in-the-dark plant.
Milky Way timelapse from Canada. Partial Solar Eclipse from Inverness (CA).
Tunnel Mountain is a great hike in Banff (start from anywhere in town). Bolinas Point Loop is better if you're closer to Bolinas (which I mostly am).
