Adam, that one is completely new to me! Thanks!

Sorry, I guess that’s just a US term. Should have used the full word.

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.

An app in a restaurant is like a front door in a building: a first impression. What’s the first impression in your business?

Huntsville celebrates Artemis II's return to Earth with a watch party YouTube video by WAAY 31 News

If you want to know a little about who I am by where I'm from, Huntsville, Alabama is where "Splashdown!" is bigger than "Touchdown!" It was a great scene in Big Spring Park yesterday for the watch party at the Art Museum:

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

In Busan today, we reaffirm a shared ambition: bringing services, opportunities, and quality of life closer to people.

This agreement with Pusan National University is a concrete step toward that goal.

Thank you to all partners involved.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The pattern-hunting process is so difficult to do right because we're programmed to think like historians instead of story-tellers. Here's why it pays great dividends to make the break and learn: originalgreen.org/blog/the-pat...

The Black Warrior River. Just over a mile’s walk from home.

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.

A Tale of Two Buildings

Many have asked what I mean by "re-skinning" buildings so here's the post, finally, with the normal Good-Better-Best triad of Recycle-Repurpose-Reuse plus the Re-Skin hybrid... and why recycling should get a Meh instead of Good: originalgreen.org/blog/a-tale-...

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.

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.

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.

Walk out in front of a car speeding at 40 mph to find out whether you experience death or just a lifetime of suffering with permanent injuries.

On the other side of recent architecture passings of Leon Krier and Robert AM Stern, I just saw where Frank Gehry joined the list today.

A hand holds a paperback book, “The Shoup Doctrine”, in front of a residential street lined with parked cars in London.

“What can cities do to recover from this great planning disaster? Here are three reforms that can help. First, remove off-street parking requirements. Second, charge market-rate prices for on-street parking. Third, invest the resulting meter revenue to improve public services on the metered blocks.“

If a parking spot is empty on Black Friday, it never needed to be built in the first place. Today is an opportunity to document the physical footprint of excessive parking requirements while you happen to be out shopping.
