I can't believe that the Canadian government shut down the weather radio service. How is anyone supposed to get weather updates outside of a city now? This was an essential service and they just turned it off and told people to use an app, when there is no public telecom operator, and the vast […]

If the VeggieKarte.de creator notices an uptick in traffic starting now, it's because HappyCow just sent out a weird email about how they're shifting focus and want more money, and now everyone is asking me about "the OSM equivalent".

I'll definitely need a new raincoat for that, given the […]

Someone needs to make an 85° (basically vertical) trackball. There is a hole in the market. I've got the most vertical trackball that seems to exist, and even it is not vertical enough.

I feel like #OpenStreetMap contributors who are cyclists will hate this: in Montreal, we have a novel (and evil) kind of rack that chomps down on your bike like some kind of monster with big teeth. I have no idea how to tag them, but I avoid them at all costs.

Starting on a draft for the front rack bag. Looks like it will perfectly hold two six-packs! (I'm using the height of a standard can as the metric for the rigid section's height because the ratio looks good, and it's as good of a standard as any)
