I'm trying to think about how I would keep my city based on 'interactivity' and what that actually means.

Selfie night with the dog, who is afraid of the wind.

Cities need more interactive elements.

I finished N.K. Jemisen's "The City We Became" last week and every time I let my mind wander I've noticed the ideas I come up with are directly inspired by the book.
Some interesting threads about the power of storytelling in community building.

I bought a new bike a little while ago - it has fenders, it folds, and it will let me take my real bike apart for a few weeks for repairs. The most surprising improvement is that it's slow. I have a problem with not riding as hard as I can, but with only seven gears..... I run out. There's nothing to do but take my time.

For anyone in #Guelph - come join the #DIYode Community Workshop. Big membership drive for the end of the year!

Being depressed makes me spend money. But honestly I needed new underwear, and I replaced the last HDD in my computer which was from 2011. And I threw out some clothes* to make room in my drawers.
*Wife would argue these aren't clothes anymore and haven't been for years.

I've been traveling for the last little while and I'm pleased at how some technology has improved my life. Ebooks are a scam but eReaders and library books are amazing. I've been carrying a book in my purse for years but now I fit a water bottle in there too. Phone maps are great, even if local paper maps are better. I have little Bluetooth headphones when things get too loud, and a bunch of podcasts. All things I would have killed for when I was taking a bus from Toronto to Halifax in the 90s.
