Stuff I was reading last week

NextBus data went down in SF this week so TransitApp released their software for SF. Great timing and marketing. I rode last week so I haven’t used the app yet.

A controversy in the Doula industry?

I’ll skip the politics article links this week.

Books: Sam Fuller‘s Brainquake – I’m about halfway done. I’m a sucker for pulp. You can follow me on Goodreads.com if you’d like, but I don’t read a ton of stuff. I’m trying to change that and read more (books) this year.

I went down a rabbit hole reading about DACs when I was looking up the price of headphones. Do any of you use a DAC?

This week- an article about The Sleeping Giants in the NY Times.

note: when I started to write this post, I thought I had saved up a bunch of links. I can’t find them. I must have just sat in silence for most of my time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Links – Weekly Reading

Do any of you regularly look forward to and check out weekly posts like the Inner Vision posts on TheWirecutter/Sweethome? It’s one of the few I remember to regularly manually type in and go to and read.

That said- I wonder about ‘updates’ and content a bit.

Maybe it’s because of the demise of Google Reader in the past and the way I used to use it, but I don’t remember to check sites like I used to. I got to the point of automated delivery and reading and then abandoned it when my favorite delivery tool went away. And I never adopted a new tool.

So, are there sites you “check”? Also- is there a “delivery system” you use? Leave me a comment below if so.

SF Needs Architecture Projects Like This One

I came upon the Carmel Place project via the youtube video from Kirsten Dirksen below. The original name of the project was My Micro New York. SF should think about buildings like this for SOMA or some other areas.

I should note that I like most of the ideas, not necessarily all of the outcomes/final products of the project.
