That which can reproduce and live sustainably is green. This is the standard of life. Life is that process which creates all things green.

Benefit of a Unified Life: the people I love, things I love, and things I do largely coincide: others say “I'm going to work”; I say “I'm going to live.”

There is no stronger indicator of a seriously flawed urban code than buffer requirements. Excellent codes encourage buildings and their landscapes to be good neighbors, not artifacts that must hide their ugliness.

Clothes they can grow into. It won't be long. And they won't grow out of a high chair nearly as fast. Wood ones are still available, and with all the plastics they'll touch frequently growing up, that's one less item.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

Car dependence is not inevitable... it is the result of planning choices that have pushed daily needs farther away. The real goal of urban planning should be clear: bring essential services closer, improve accessibility, and give people back their time. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/04/27/u...

We need raised crosswalks everywhere. A level crossing prioritizes human movement and accessibility, while the physical rise acts as forced friction, demanding speed compliance from motorists. We must stop relying on signs and start relying on physical design.

Most restaurants take your drink order, then your app order, then your main course order, so the appetizer is usually the first thing you eat.

Found a possible replacement for Geotag Photos Pro: I have a Nikon Z7ii, so Nikon Snapbridge might do what I need; anyone know anything about it?

110

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Sadly, no. The only way I know to do that is add a GPS module where the flash usually goes but in my experience those have a very high fail rate.

000

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Apple's App Store has dozens of apps, but they're really complex or expensive & many are based on photos taken on your phone, but the iPhone automatically geotags already, so that's useless. So I'm looking for a system based on shooting with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Any thoughts?

200

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Does anyone know of a geotagging system that works as simply as this one did? Nikon's GPS module that attaches on top of the camera never tagged more than about half the images, which is basically useless & other similar apps, but their failure rates were high, too, but not Geotag Photos Pro.

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Sadly, something broke it very recently. The iPhone version is still working because I can see the trips in History on my phone, so it must have been a recent MacOS update that broke the laptop version that does the actual geotagging.

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Replacement? Geotag Photos Pro is insanely simple: just start a trip on the iPhone version of the app and it sets your location frequently. After the shoot, the desktop version of the app interpolates the location based on the the recorded data on the phone, which is uploaded to their cloud.

So let the connections between seemingly separate things help unlock the mysteries contained in those dots you’ve been collecting and now connecting. Wisdom is likely to ensure.

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

By connecting, I mean that mysteries rarely unlock themselves. Looking at a problem through the lens of another discipline is an insight-rich environment.

110

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

By collecting, I mean committing the mysterious truths you’ve seen to memory, giving them a place to live in your mind so you keep searching for keys to unlock them.

110

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

The best true things are those that come with mysteries attached, because with no mystery, it’s just a mundane fact. Mysteries entice you to dig deeper, and to learn.

110

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Wisdom emerges from connecting dots, with the dots being datapoints of things you have experienced or observed to be true. But if you don’t collect the dots, you can’t connect the dots.

A prevailing attitude is "I won't live anywhere more than 7-10 years; why should I care about a house that lasts for a hundred years? This results in buying cheap junk thrown up quick that will fall apart in a few years. Many individual throwaway choices make a throwaway city.

Straw man. Highway speeds aren’t the big issue; how many people do you see walking on a highway in the countryside? The big issue is speeding in the city, which gets people killed and maimed for life.

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Yet you’ve gone silent on 25 mph posted speed where people far too often speed closer to 40, which is deadly most of the time.

Steve Mouzon @stevemouzon.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

A highway? Try a residential street with a 25 mph speed limit which nobody obeys. 40 mph speeds are common there, resulting in death or lifelong injuries.
