iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My Teams note taker was running while I was talking to my toddler:

The Sounders seem to be hell-bent on building a soccer-specific stadium in Renton. If only there were a few hundred acres that had direct access to the Light Rail and could easily be developed into a stadium and a ton of housing...

If you get a 2.5% raise, and inflation is 2.5% you're not getting a raise.

I’ll come out and say it. I really dislike the zigzag bookshelves in the Central Library. They are poorly designed and make it more difficult to find what I’m looking for.

The DOJ just gave up appealing the dismissal of a handful of wiretapping charges against journalist Tim Burke, brought after FBI agents raided his newsroom in 2024. But other charges remain pending and should be dropped. Our statement:

DOJ drops appeal of wiretapping counts against journalist Tim Burke

The government should also drop other charges still pending against Tim Burke.

In a lot of ways, the environmentalism of my parents' generation didn't ask anyone to sacrifice anything. People still drove (but it was a Prius), lived in the burbs (but with a beautiful garden), bought supermarket food (but bought organic). It was an aesthetic choice as much as anything. 🧵

This is the built environment surrounding the author's place of employment. See the problem? That's right, too many e-bikes.

Current (likely unpopular) opinion of the moment: Everyone should just use a 24-hour UTC clock. It doesn't matter if you're having lunch at 12:00 or 19:00 or 03:00 but having a consistent clock when scheduling meetings across multiple timezones would be immensely helpful.

I recommend to you this podcast series about Dolly Parton by Jad Abumrad (creator of Radio Lab). You may ask: how did a MacArthur Award winning pub radio guy meet Dolly? Because she personally funded his father's vaccine research, that's how. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dol...
