if you're the kind of Australian who's interested in having a physical street atlas for the current year - be warned, UBD Gregory's is shutting down.

Rumor is Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth will get one more edition in August[?], but for everywhere else (seemingly including Melbourne and Tasmania), what's on shelves is probably the final edition.

now please excuse me while i tag spam

"Cranebrook" is the name of the new EP by Australian post-rock pioneers Solkyri. The record is once again groundbreaking and incredibly beautiful. Released on February 7th 2025, on Bird's Robe Records and Dunk!Records, it inspires hope, combines playfulness and lightness and allows listeners to linger in the moment while the world outside continues to rage. Listen to it now, and stay tuned! There will soon be more about this on SoundsVegan.com!

I didn't stop much to get photos of Sydney cycling infrastructure, but it was really high quality.
Pretty good wayfinding and wide separated paths.
I saw a cycling bridge that went in to the airport which was pretty cool.

We rode the entire length of the Bourke St cycleway, a mix of two-way bike paths and shared paths that goes 7.5km through the centre of Sydney from the Sydney Airport to Circular Quay (where the Opera house, Habour Bridge and ferry terminals are)

The Bourke St cycleway is an amazing achievement and must have required a lot of political courage to get done.

This is why #Google #maps is dead to me:

Look at this street in #Sydney,

Near the center 8 restaurants.
Great
Click on the `Restaurants` short cut search
Zoom in
Click `Search in the area` 🙄
Only two show up. (I didn't set any filters) 😬

On the left side of the road we don't even have the icon
On the right side, 3 are grey rather than highlited in the results.

Why? Ads driven #Enshittification ?

@danielbowen the example of this that really got me was finding out the sydney airport gateway project, a 3km motorway that no one even noticed was happening, cost 1.5x as much as Sydney's CBD and SE light rail that was absolutely dragged through the mud for being over budget, late and slow. And now George St is amazing, the light rail is consistently full and the gateway tunnel is still unremarkable.

Hi, #Today I decided to try to #getfedihired — I've got many years of experience with web development, programming and production (#HTML, #CSS, #Javascript), I can make myself useful in anything on the open-source side of back end, i.e. the #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #MySQL, #Linux kind of area.

I live in #Sydney Australia and would be happy to work in-office, remote or hybrid.

Let me know of any opportunities, or pass this on to anyone else who might know of something? Thanks.
