Little Island park was pretty cool if you’re in the area. Not too far off the high line.

The "hack" that got it to work for me is to put an extra slash at the end of the URL: wplace.live//

Yeah, I don't know why. Some weird config on that server.

Wplace - A massive real-time pixel art canvas on the world map!

Wplace is a collaborative, real-time pixel canvas layered over the world map, where anyone can paint and create art together.

The audio version of the @npr.org Summer Game story is up! Thanks so much to @ulabeast.bsky.social for spending time with us and our amazing patrons!

How a public library's summer game took over a Michigan city

Summer in Ann Arbor, Mich., means thousands of people hunting for hidden codes around the city and reading books to earn points. It's part of a popular game organized by the public library.

Ann Arbor, please show me that there's more reasonable voters in this town than all the Nextdoor NIMBYs.

Vote YES on A & B for a usable downtown space for the people of Ann Arbor, not just an eternally undeveloped parking lot. And make sure all your reasonable friends vote, too.
