There have been a lot of stories lately trying to reckon social media. The arguments are the same.
Instead, let's think about infrastructure planning and how to back up your public thinking.
A blog is boring. That's the point.

Blogging as boring
The Internet is still what you want it to be. I want mine to be boring.

But it seems like most of the "advocacy" for the skyway system is based on a nostalgia of what it was. Sadly, downtown lacks the vibrancy to have BOTH a thriving skyway network AND vibrant streets.

On Saint Paul: The Skyways
With a new mayor in Saint Paul, can we set aside incrementalism for bold thinking?

The Pioneer Press had a good story the other day on downtown Saint Paul's skyway system. Worth the read.

Double-decker downtown: Walking through the past, present, and future lives of St. Paul skyways
The once-bustling above-ground network has been flagging for years. The time for reinvention has arrived. Plus: a deep dive into the skyway system.

Now that I have been in Saint Paul for 3 years, and starting to be involved in its civic fabric, perhaps it’s time to start writing about it. It is an interesting topic.

With Waymo testing in Minneapolis (not Saint Paul, which makes no sense), the naysayers are out. The same criticisms were had when it launched in Phoenix. (Also, yes, i was one of them.)
It's fine. The bad stuff you predict didn't happen in Phoenix.

Waymo is coming. How will robocars deal with wintry Minneapolis roads?
Waymo is currently operating in temperate cities. It’s not clear how the vehicles will handle ice and snow, but there are local examples to learn from.

I bought a 28mm pancake lens for my Canon R7. Is it the best lens? Oh goodness no. But is it great for informal shots? Oh goodness yes.

It's been almost a year, but I've made quite a lot of progress on my website. It's amazing how much stuff you have to think of when you have to maintain everything, not rely on others to do so. I have learned so much!

In an otherwise dim year, what a spot of brightness to join with the worldwide community to listen in and commentate along with others during #9lc. Happy Christmas to you all, and let's do this next year?

Ah, yes, our annual celebration of the famous Bethlehem harbor. So much maritime traffic in the **checks notes** Judean mountains. #9lc 🕯️

Looking ahead after the 8th lesson and the second Rutter, we have yet another setting of "I saw three ships". Which marine vessel will be our tempo guide? #9lc
Surely, this is “I saw three speedboats coming in / On Christmas Day &c.” at this tempo? #9LC
