Pete Baker @baker.co · 13/10/2025We'll never get proper bike/ped infrastructure at grade at that location. Between ambulance routes and the M-14 on/off-ramp, that intersection will never be safe (I lived right on that corner for years, and it's only gotten worse since). I was just on this bridge, and thought it was pretty cool. 100
Pete Baker @baker.co · 27/05/2025Why didn't you tell me AI meant I didn't have to know regexp anymore?? 010
Pete Baker @baker.co · 16/04/2025Anyone need the fan in their Nintendo Switch replaced? I feel like I should use this knowledge more than a single time. 010
Pete Baker @baker.co · 19/03/2025Been a minute since I read the Bible. So much good stuff in there. And timeless. 020
Pete Baker @baker.co · 28/02/2025I am fully down with the cause and purpose of today, but is the art direction of our propaganda actually delivering? Is the cutesy ‘shop local’ craft fair vibe matching the moment? Or maybe it’s the kind of bubble gum subversion that is actually needed to be effective these days? 200
Pete Baker @baker.co · 07/02/2025Stop me if you've heard this one; a blue heron, a herd of deer, and a raft of mallards walk in to a creek... 020
Pete Baker @baker.co · 20/01/2025It's a monumental day of firsts. First convicted felon president, and first bounty hunter First Lady. 120
Pete Baker @baker.co · 17/01/2025"Is that what you wanna do with your life? Suck down peppermint schnapps and try to call Morocco at two in the morning? That's senseless." American Movie (1999). Top 5 favorite ever. 240
Pete Baker @baker.co · 29/12/2024My dad got me this adorable block plane pencil sharpener in Japan. 060
Pete Baker @baker.co · 11/12/2024That's not a post. THIS is a post (and beam). Finally raised our timber frame pergola yesterday at LowertownA2.com in #AnnArbor. Never gets old seeing one of these frames go up. 091
Pete Baker @baker.co · 26/11/2024If nothing else, I'm more in to Bluesky because of the malleability and additional experiences that can be created for it. Just like in the early days of Twitter, the most innovative and useful stuff came from the superusers, not the company. Perfect example: @deck.blue 010
Pete Baker @baker.co · 21/11/2024Love this summation of why Michigan’s state department of natural resources is so effective. “Is it the mindset of the people or the competency of the state?” Both! www.reddit.com/r/Michigan/c... 030
Pete Baker @baker.co · 18/11/2024Arnaud Mercier's early 2000s daily design work, blending his Lomo film photography and contemporary typography exploration, were such a huge inspiration back in the day of the personal publishing platform (ie. our own websites). So glad my digital hoarding tendency has kept these around. 120
Pete Baker @baker.co · 17/11/2024From my brother in Seattle (an urban planner), here’s an example of doing big development that replaces a bunch of small one story buildings that have cool bars etc, so their replacement commercial space will be a bunch of small tenant spaces rather than a couple of huge ones. 000
Pete Baker @baker.co · 15/11/2024My first copyright cease and desist letter back in the day, because I used a pine tree air freshener shape as my logo for a minute. 050
Pete Baker @baker.co · 12/11/2024A friend and neighbor rescued a baby owl that had fallen from a tree, crafted a nest for it, and fed it for a few days. Eventually the mother was no longer wary and returned with a rabbit and it left weeks later. Now we hear this owl (or at least like to think it is) screeching into the night. 010
Pete Baker @baker.co · 08/06/2023Devo is maybe the most interesting band of the 20th century and they broke out after their short film was in the Ann Arbor Film Festival and home town hero Iggy Pop and his boy David Bowie saw it and said everyone needs to check out this weird band and the rest is history. 041
Pete Baker @baker.co · 15/05/2023Got myself one of those "space age measuring tools" that was every Instagram ad for months (the Moasure) and it's totally unecessary but super fun to have a much better model of our land rise/fall. 110
Pete Baker @baker.co · 06/05/2023I too have been caught up in the latest round of coffee. I’m going to take some time to process, but excited to announce my next adventure soon. 010
Pete Baker @baker.co · 05/05/2023Not on my list today? Building this chair. What actually got done today? Building this chair. 130
Pete Baker @baker.co · 24/04/2023New logo for the Canadian Space Agency. Has there ever been a tree that pulls more weight, design-wise, than the maple does for Canada? 000
