Meet Minneapolis is looking to commission a local artist or designer to create an illustrated cycling map of Minneapolis! I'm hoping to see some unique visual languages and cartographic ideas come out of this. More details: minneapolis-2021.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Cycli...

@bikemn.bsky.social @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social What if the community and Angry Catfish turned the memorial ride into an annual event? A fundraiser for relevant causes like immigrants, food insecurity, healthcare workers, neighbors, etc. Buy in from the Pretti and Macklin Good families, important.
@lauragmitchell.com Can you please send me a Venmo link for the Lyndale PTO fund? Thank you!

Bike commute today. Used my Dad’s Kirtland panniers circa late 70s
A quick escape to the Driftless to explore streams and valleys by myself reminded me that I need to do it much more often. Tree frogs singing at night, birds, geology, spring fed streams, and some trout.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Re-learning Norsk, and my current favorite word is “Sykepleier”. Not because of the definition (a nurse), but I love the way that it sounds.
This hazy IPA from Best Day Brewing is the best NA beer that I have ever had.
