Railfan Atlas is a map interface for exploring Flickr’s railroad photography. Started in 2014, it has grown into one of the largest databases of railroad images.
Netflix is super annoyed that we travel and login from different states or countries and it’s incredibly annoying to get hounded each time. We’re not sharing our login ffs, one of us just wants to stream some TV in the hotel room. Isn’t that the service you supposedly provide?
Started off the week with a quick hike in Pima Canyon this morning.
One sort of stupidly obvious change we made due to the covid pandemic: when my wife or I starts feeling like we might be getting a cold, we promptly sleep in different bedrooms for the night, just as we had quarantined during covid infections. It’s amazing how much that can help ward off illness.
Fixing pin locations using Microblog Map with the mnml theme
I wanted to share a solution I found for some misbehaving map pins when using the fun Micro.blog Map “plugin” that Vlad Campos put together in conjunction with the excellent mnml theme by Jim Mitchell.
🗺️ Here’s my map, btw.
The problem I was having is that the map pins, on initial load (zoom level 2, showing the entire globe), would be misplaced to the north by a certain distance, consistently across the map. As you zoomed in more and more, however, the pins would migrate closer and closer to the correct location. It seemed to be a conflict with the mnml theme in particular, as it seemed to work fine in Tiny theme.
I don’t understand any of this, but with a whole lot of back-and-forth of unsuccessful but extremely confident answers (seriously, I’ve spent at least 5 hours on this) with both ChatGPT and Claude, I finally arrived at a working solution.
Add this to your custom CSS:
/* Fix Leaflet markers - override MNML's article img styles */
article .leaflet-container img,
.leaflet-container img {
max-width: none !important;
width: auto !important;
border-radius: 0 !important;
display: block !important;
}
article .leaflet-marker-icon,
article .leaflet-marker-shadow,
.leaflet-marker-icon,
.leaflet-marker-shadow {
max-width: none !important;
margin: -41px 0 0 -12px !important;
}
article .leaflet-tile,
.leaflet-tile {
margin: 0 !important;
max-width: none !important;
}
…and voila! The pins should display correctly right from the get-go.
Oliver Burkeman has a proposal to make:
2026 should be the year that you spend more time doing what you want. The new year should be the moment we commit to dedicating more of our finite hours on the planet to things we genuinely, deeply enjoy doing – to the activities that seize our interest, and that make us feel vibrantly alive. This should be the year you stop trying so hard to turn yourself into a better person, and focus instead on actually leading a more absorbing life.
In the end, though, there is a consideration even more fundamental than any of these, which is that it’s not clear what life is really for at all, if it isn’t for doing more of whatever makes you feel most alive. It’s notoriously easy to slip into the unconscious assumption that any such aliveness is for later: after you’ve sorted your life out; after the current busy phase has passed; after the headlines have stopped being quite so alarming. But the truth for finite humans is that this, right here, is real life. And that if you’re going to do stuff that matters to you – and feel enjoyment or aliveness in doing it – you’re going to have to do it before you’ve got on top of everything, before you’ve solved your procrastination problem or your intimacy issues, before you feel confident that the future of democracy or the climate has been assured. This part of life isn’t just something you have to get through, to get to the bit that really counts. It is the part that really counts.

Back in 2008, I started Day Zero Project’s 101 Things in 1001 Days challenge. Unfortunately, I only completed 55/101 items. I’ve started putting together a new 1001 challenge list to adopt, but…I’m having trouble coming up with enough items. Is that a good sign? 🤷♂️ Guess I’ll keep at it.
I’ve been slowly manually copying over old facebook posts so that I can finally rid myself of it without losing memories. Today I ran across one of those “tag a friend” questionnaires, one of the rare ones that I filled out.
It’s been fun to look back at Jen’s “On This Day” posts. Today’s post features trips to Sri Lanka, Argentina (en route to Antarctica), and Spain.

I’m thinking of putting together a compilation of short video shots (3-10 seconds each) from each day of our trip. Any suggestions on what iOS app to use?
