@benlk.comIf you've seen the movie, you can keep on by reading the award-winning webcomic Digger here: diggercomic.com/blog/2007/02...
@benlk.comOf course, the ultimate evolution of the Headless CMS is one that doesn't have a backend or web interface. It has a frontend, and it has a database. There will be no first-party editor. You might use the legacy API with a third-party client; your agents will use the MCP.
@benlk.comReposted by @benlk.comMy write-up on what Phase 2 of Zone In actually changes in the City of Columbus' zoning code: benlk.com/2026/10/01/c...
@benlk.comMost Class 1 and 2 ebikes do not have, and cannot be retrofitted with, speedometers, making compliance with speed limits a matter of guesswork. The proposed legislation does nothing about unregistered electric motorcycles sold as ebikes.
@benlk.comHere's my 2¢ on a mildly-tweaked version of the City of Columbus' flag: no words, extra stars, buckeye-leaf laurel, or caravel of Christopher Columbus' fleet. The city named after him can stop honoring him and celebrating his legacy, and yet still remain itself.
@benlk.comIf the original poster says that, yeah, it's a bad sign. If it's reposted with that comment by a third party: the punchline is usually worth it.
@trevinflickinger.comReposted by @benlk.comColumbus Day is a good reminder that we need to redesign the flag and seal
@benlk.comDue to neglect, it was well past "fixer-upper" and was trending towards "uninhabitable"
@benlk.comThree, in my house. I once helped clean out a hoarding situation where the recently-deceased occupant had crammed 100+ bikes into the attics, cupboards, crawlspaces, and basement of a small Craftsman house. The living spaces were waist-deep in home theater equipment.

@benlk.comHow does that scale by population? What would the numbers look like at Chinese ridership levels with US population size?
@historicalmarker.bsky.socialReposted by @benlk.comThis marker details how Black voters were denied at the polls in Ohio after the Civil War, leading to a meeting among African-Americans and Republicans that led to an 1870 state act enforcing the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. No, today is not Opposite Day.
@benlk.comThere are still a few travelers on the roads in the early morning.
@benlk.comMost states allow Class 3, but often with restrictions: not on shared-use paths or in parks (even with motor off), helmet and speedometer requirements, possible registration requirements.
Some states stop at Class 2; some don't use the classes: www.velotricbike.com/blogs/story-...
@benlk.com32 km/h is the usual Class 2 limit in the US: 20 mph.

@benlk.comTime to redefine "Columbus" in the sense of Ohio to refer to some other person by that name, or maybe a backronym.
