I created an app – munitime.app – that displays arrival times for the San Francisco Muni transit system.

Muni Time is a web app that runs in a browser, but I built it so you can bookmark individual stops and stations, which will then open like a native app.

You can create as many shortcuts as you want for quick access. I keep them organized in a folder.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that AT&T has commemorative USA 250 manhole covers.

The Worst Design System of All Time

During World War II, the Nazi regime created a color-coded badge system to classify concentration camp prisoners.

It was based on the six-pointed Star of David, the Jewish equivalent of the Christian cross icon. It was easy to understand at a glance, and the design standards, with examples, could fit on a single page.

The way it worked was that the color of the downward triangle was the primary classification and visual element:

Blue = immigrants, red = political prisoners, and so on. Each downward triangle can be combined with an upward yellow triangle to form a Star of David that identifies someone as Jewish as well.

Letters were used for further classification, so a red triangle over a yellow triangle with a “P” on it identified a person as a Polish, Jewish, political prisoner.

This is also the origin of the pink triangle, which represents the gay community and the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement. Between 5,000 and 15,000 homosexual men were exterminated for the crime of being gay.

Every year in San Francisco, a giant pink triangle is laid out on the tallest hill overlooking the eastern half of the city for Pride month.

Game Over – a new mural by Serge Gay Jr. in front of The Detour arcade bar on Market Street.

LEGO created Pride themed set where each color is represented by a monochromatic minifig.

I replaced them with classic space minifigs. LEGO hasn't made a purple astronaut (yet) and real-life lesbian astronaut Sally Ride on light blue.

We have a new cat in the neighborhood who looks a lot like the one on my new San Francisco cat t-shirt. It’s based on one worn by Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) in Project Hail Mary.
