I also pledged to the Mastodon developer's Patreon.
On a related note, RIP to the homebrewing software I was using (Brewtoad) that shut down on 12/31/18. Excellent product, I was paying $20/year but not enough others did and they couldn't pay rent.
Just sent @dzombak $14 and I declare that I am official sponsor of all toots sent in February on a2mi.social
#StoppedWatched someone riding a Bird scooter away from Pioneer HS. They were wearing a ski helmet and goggles, suggesting that this ride was premeditated. Are there always Bird scooters available at Pioneer?
This is the first time I've seen anyone wear a helmet on a Bird.
My goal was to bike an average of 100 miles per month in 2018 ... I'm pretty close 😉
cool this kind of worked, waffle maker and wheelbarrow are spoken for! decent, seldom-used juicer still available for a song...
if anyone wants empty bottles for homebrewing, or knows a friend who does, I'd love to give a few cases of clean empties to a good home
got a 2nd router set up as a wireless repeater, it was a 2010 Asus RT-N 16 gathering dust. Easy as pie with the stock firmware. Amazing when tech just works 🙏

This looks pretty decent for spinning up a thing-sharing platform within Ann Arbor: https://www.sharetribe.com/features.html
If it took off, the pricing would be tolerable. The only thing is, I think the service I have in mind will be for *free* borrowing and lending, not renting. This platform is set up for $. I want renumeration to be simply in points and badges like StackOverflow.
called Congresswoman Dingell's DC office, asked her to support a select committee on a Green New Deal. Took 1 minute. Now, back to work, feeling good that I took a small action at this pivotal moment.

Cultivate is a great space. I'm jealous.

@george @samfirke Not sure if this posted--The Schwaben Verein was founded in 1888. Originally a burial society, it was also a social club, mostly for Germans who arrived during the 1880s wave of immigration. Originally members had to be from Swabia, but today it's open to any German or person of German ancestry. In 1908 it bought the Relief Fire Company Park (the Fire Department had by then become professional), where it built a clubhouse, beer garden, and small bowling alley.
Trying out remote work locations in Ypsi today. Was at YDL, currently tooting from Beezy's
someone mentioned to me that Wurster Park used to have a beer garden, circa 100 years ago when it was the German neighborhood. Anyone know anything about beer gardens in historic A2?
wondering if I can plan a birthday party game for an 8 y/o that is somewhere between an escape room, murder mystery dinner, scavenger hunt, and D&D game. There would be adult characters following a script, and the kids would figure out puzzles and solve riddles and dig up treasure.
@csalzman any advice for things I could riff on?
