Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 10/04/20262026 Day 1 Not sure yet quite how I'm going to manage this in the longer term. To say it was a LOT easier back when I lived next to the park is a major understatement! Tried to stay light, but that's easier said than done when you're starting from scratch and relearning. 230
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 13/03/2026Did @backblaze.bsky.social seriously just multiply the radius by 2 in an email that's LITERALLY ABOUT PI? 100
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 16/02/2026Needed to get out a bit and clear my mind. Next thing I knew, I was in the Strip District! Cloudy and 42—43 °F (6 °C) with dew points of 39–40 °F (4 °C). #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8748... 010
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 10/02/2026Taking advantage of well-timed Oakland errands coinciding with the warm-up to get a nice, good walk in as #Pittsburgh notches its first above-freezing temperatures in 19 days. Sunny and 56 °F (13 °C) with dew points of 32–33 °F (0–1 °C). www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8745... 020
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 15/01/2026A bunch of errands where just about everything that could go wrong did. But I got home, and have (almost) everything I'd set out for! Partly sunny skies and 18 °F (−8 °C) with wind chills of 3–6 °F (−16 to −14 °C). #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8733... 100
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 09/01/2026Taking advantage of a warm January day to go on a little walk of 5.06 km (3.14 mi). Partly cloudy with increasing cover amidst peeks of sunshine, 63–64 °F (17–18 °C) with dew points 49–51 °F (9–11 °C). Winds 16–18 mi/h (26–29 km/h), gusting 32–36 mi/h (51–58 km/h). #Pittsburgh 110
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 01/10/2025Look if my mind makes *me* suffer through this sort of stuff, y'all can suffer a bit with me. ;) 010
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 11/08/2025Specifically, these are the full indicators. The "Saved to Drive" text disappears after a few seconds, leaving only the icon. 000
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 11/08/2025In some cloud-based systems like Google Drive, it already is! (Of course, they "save automatically", so this is more of a status indicator that everything is properly synced rather than something that you'd proactively click.) 101
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 24/07/2025A 5.37-km (3.34-mi) loop for midweek errands, breaking in the shoes just before the next heat wave gets going. Mostly sunny and 86–87 °F (30–31 °C) with dew points 65–67 °F (18–19 °C). #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8638... 010
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 18/07/2025Wrapping up the week with an 8.24-km (5.12-mi) Friday late-afternoon walk from Shadyside into East Liberty, along the border of Larimer, and looping through Point Breeze North and Point Breeze. #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8635... 110
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 17/07/2025A 4.46-km (2.77-mi) Thursday midday pre-lunch walk from Shadyside into North and Central Oakland. Partly cloudy and 84 °F (29 °C) with a dew point of 68 °F (20 °C). #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8634... 000
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 17/07/2025A 4.55-km (2.83-mi) Wednesday evening walk — squeezed between meetings and storms — from East Liberty, climbing up to the borders of Highland Park and Stanton Heights, heading through Garfield, Bloomfield, and Friendship to Shadyside. #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8634... 110
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 16/07/2025A 5.38-km (3.34-mi) brisk, but sweaty, late Tuesday evening walk from Shadyside through Bloomfield and Friendship. Mostly clear and 76–80 °F (24–27 °C) with dew points 70–73 °F (21–23 °C). #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8633... 020
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 15/07/2025A 6.40-km (3.98-mi) Monday evening walk from East Liberty to Central Lawrenceville to socialize, then to Shadyside. Didn't fully optimize the outbound route for shade. Mostly clear, 77–80 °F (25–27 °C) with dew points 69–70 °F (21 °C). #Pittsburgh www.mapmyfitness.com/workout/8632... 020
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 30/04/2025Ummmm… Does @freepress.bsky.social know something the rest of us don't? (There are 995 days until 20 January 2028, but I think most of the recipients of this email are more interested in 20 January 2029, which is 1361 days away.) 120
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 18/03/2025It already has one. The option to add a post to a thread appears as soon as there's any text in the last one. 100
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 18/02/2025Getting ready for @chrislhayes.bsky.social in #Pittsburgh. Being aware of how our innate capacity for compelled attention is used against us and knowing how to tack through those winds so we can still end up where we want to go is as important now as it's ever been. 020
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 04/02/2025These look like label indicators to me. For a label you haven't assigned a color to, the default is a light grey (off-white) bar in light mode, or a dark grey (black) bar in dark mode. 121
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 04/02/2025In fairness, the triskelion shape has been part of the seal of the Department of Transportation since its formation in 1967, "representing air, land, and sea". www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/u... 110
Tim Parenti @timparenti.com · 29/01/2025I've already gotten pretty weaned off Threads over the last, oh, ten days or so. Only took a couple days of intentional non-engagement to stop 95% of the notifications, which helps a lot. But I know other Meta properties will try to drag me back in. So it's time to revisit and dial up this setting. 100
