“On a digital network, public space is not a place (like Facebook), it is the interconnection of sovereign spaces owned and controlled by individuals.”

You can download Small Is Beautiful #23 directly, and watch it with your favourite video player. Small Is Beautiful (Oct, 2022): What is the Small Web and why do we need it? Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about:

Toronto’s next great waterfront public space is almost finished! Touring Bathurst Quay Common and its centrepiece, the restored Canada Malting Co. silos.

The inside of the silos is going to be a great space for temporary art installations (the echoes are pretty amazing).

And it will be a great addition to the Toronto skyline at night!

A historic grain elevator building, labeled "Canada Malting Co. Limited," stands in the background. In the foreground, there are wooden steps and various potted plants, with construction or landscaping work in progress. A worker in safety gear is visible,
A waterfront scene featuring a wooden deck with a red table and chairs, surrounded by greenery. In the background, boats are docked near industrial buildings and a cloudy sky is overhead.
An illuminated industrial building featuring large silos, viewed at night. The structure has a modern design with some light reflecting off the silos, casting shadows on the ground.
A dimly lit corridor with concrete walls and a wooden walkway. There are overhead lights and visible electrical wiring. The scene creates an industrial atmosphere, leading to an unknown endpoint.

Got my comment in urging adoption of US Dept of Transportations "PROWAG" proposal to require more accessible public right-of-way infrastructure for sidewalks, curbs, crossings, etc.

Deadline is Sept 23, so there's still time to add your voice. Better accessibility benefits everyone!

Sonoma County reclassifies Park Rangers as "public officers," removing law enforcement duties from the agency. This seems like a significant win, despite the fact that a new, much smaller force within Sonoma County Sheriff's dept. will be created to fill the void. Reducing the number of categories of people who think of themselves as cops is good. And anything that makes police unions upset is worthwhile.

"The new parks unit at the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office will be made up of four deputies and a sergeant that will be assigned to cover the county’s 60 parks overseen by Sonoma County Regional Parks. They will only operate from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. Some of the funding for the positions will come from savings from vacant park ranger positions that have not been filled."

One of my apocalypse mental health coping strategies is choosing silly or celebratory versions of emergency supplies. (Some of my emergency water is carbonated.)

Seeing so many happy people at the new Banfield Park public swimming platform during the heat warning today pushed that same button -- it's a party version of a public cooling station. Big fan.
