  • For real. This building would have most certainly languished for years and then been torn down to be replaced by a cookie cutter development. Instead it has been repurposed in a unique way (by the city, not Amazon) so that it can continue to be used (by many companies, not just Amazon).

    It’s fun to laugh at the irony, but overall this is a good thing.




  • Most of Europe (and even moreso the rest of the world) didn’t have serviceable mobile internet until years after US and Canada, so it makes sense that they missed the initial wave of hotspot premiums that North America suffered through.

    And before any one tries to be snarky, yes Sweden rolled out 4G before anyone else, but it didn’t take off until well after NA already dominated the space.






  • The first iteration was cool for awhile. It came out of nowhere and people spontaneously created art together, battled other groups trying to do the same, chose colors as their flag of war. I had a window open in the background that I would pop in on every ten minutes or so while I worked to try to support a small piece that I liked.

    Then people coded bots for it and it got hyper-organized. They announced the next one ahead of time and it absolutely destroyed the soul of the thing. The second and third ones were a fucking joke. Watching the time lapse was embarrassing as immediately the entire canvas was covered with flags and brands. Awful idea to bring here.
