  1. Multicolored heart painting with a few sequine pieces, outlined in pink with bits of turquoise, paint dripping downward, on a piece of plywood at a construction site, signed KATE_TOVA.View of Kezar Stadium from the entrance, clear blue sky above, dry track below with very few runners.Kezar track viewed from lane 5 at the start of the front 100meter segment.Hand drawn BLACK LIVES MATTER sign, black marker on white cardboard, inside the window of a building, mini-blinds closed behind it holding it up, a small BIDEN HARRIS sign next to it.White BLM repeatedly stenciled on multicolor background segment on plywood decorated with additional art.View of Kezar Stadium from the entrance, clear blue sky above, wet track below with almost no runners.Kezar track rounding the last corner, the sun shining directly overhead lighting up track, a Covid warning placard on the edge of the lanes.Kezar track viewed from lane 5 on the front 100meter segment, lanes 1-3 wet from rain, a runner in lane 2.BLACK LIVES MATTER sign standing outside against the side of a house, behind a few potted plants, mostly succulents.⭕🏃🏻‍♂️ Last track workout of the year and third #trackTuesday in a row. Spotted new #streetArt #heart by @kate_tova(1) a block before #Kezar. Blue sky and a dry track this morning(2,3) for a warmup, 6x progressively faster 400s with a 200walk+200jog in between. Cooldown jog/walk in the area, noting a #BlackLivesMatter sign in a window(4) & BLM stencil artwork on a plywood covering(5).

    Last week the rain had left the track quite wet(6), glistening in the low sun(7), lanes in the shade still wet(8) from rain the night before. Completed a “broken 600s” workout: several sets of alternating fast and slow 400 200 200 400. On my cooldown jog back I spotted a BLACK LIVES MATTER sign leaning against lavender siding, behind a few potted plants(9).

    Happy to finish 2020 with a return to regular track workouts, and looking forward to continuing them in the new year.

  2. Tantek wearing a buff taking a selfie at the Mill Valley Depot with Nick, Paddy, Olivia, and Emma safely distanced in the background.Nick, Emma, Olivia, and Paddy running up the first stretch of road of the Mt Tam climb.Handpainted Black Lives Matter sign, black paint on a white background, leaning against a wooden fence, a few tall green grasses overlapping part of it.Tall green bushes on both sides of Temelpa trail, a small pine tree on the right side that has been decorated with ornaments.Very hazy and foggy view of the bay and a barely visible outline of downtown San Francisco, one tower of the Golden Gate Bridge, and Sutro Tower in the distance, from the top of Mount Tam’s East Peak.Hazy view of the bay looking east from Mount Tam’s East Peak, bushes in the foregrount, Mount Diablo peaks poking up through the fog.Tantek taking a selfie at Mount Tam East Peak with a hazy view of San Francisco in the distant background.Screenshot of PurpleAir showing Mill Valley, the Marin Headlands, and the North half of San Francisco with a wide array of 100+ AQI orange red bubbles.⛰ Tam summit #13 of 2020. Started(1) just before Emma & Olivia’s time trial. Barely made it up the first road before Nick caught up leading the speed train with Paddy bringing up the caboose(2). #BlackLivesMatter signs are present in many of the yards(3) on roads up to Tam.

    Part way up #Temelpa #trail *someone(s)* had decorated a fir tree with holiday ornaments!(4). The views from the summit were the haziest I’d ever seen, SF(5) and Mount Diablo(6) barely visible. Despite the haze and cold (42F), it was one of my quicker recent ascents(7). On the way down I checked PurpleAir and the AQI was 100+(8) which would normally make it too hard to run. Perhaps the trees & bushes filtered the air along the trail. I could smell wood burning stoves & fireplaces as I ran back down the road to Mill Valley. Finished my 9th Tam ascent & descent on the same steep route (AKA H.A.M. on Tam) and returned to the Mill Valley depot where I started.

    Congrats @emmakayemccune on a new Tam Ascent Course Record! And Olivia on a new PR! Well done you two!

  3. December of 2020 month calendar built from LEGO bricks, on an hardwood floor background.🗓 Winter solstice, #December 2020. Took a break from posting photos since June. Sat with a lot. Listened. Focused inward, on essentials, on sheltering, and being sustainably supportive of others.

    This month feels different. The U.S. Electoral college voted, shifting a critical mass of support for moving forward with election results. The Pfizer vaccine shipped and first doses have been administered.

    Daily cases & tragedies continue, nearly ignored by the U.S. government, cruel obstructions of aid for months, only recently offering up mere crumbs for those in need.

    As individuals there’s only so much we can do by ourselves. What we can do we should, putting on our own masks, filling our own cups so we’re not pouring from emptiness. 2020 has laid bare layers of challenges, individual entitlement & irresponsibility, masses succumbing to misinformation, systemic biases against those least privileged, racist idolatory of a narcissistic president.

    And yet there’s bits of hope. 15 days until the chance of flipping Georgia’s Senate seats. 30 days until our next president can snap his fingers with day 1 executive orders to undo so much damage.

    Balance work & joy while staying safe friends. Take care of yourselves, your loved ones, and let’s make it to 2021.

  7. Consider browser engine diversity impact on web standards in general, beyond W3C

    on

    As a place for bringing together interested and concerned parties about browser engine diversity and standards, this repo would be useful for considering web standards in general beyond W3C, and the impact upon them by the participation (or lack thereof) of one or more browser engine implementations. How different orgs (IETF, WHATWG, TC39, etc.) approach these challenges and questions may help provide common approaches worth considering.

    While the origin of this repo is from a W3C TPAC session, it was clear from the broad and diverse participation in that session that this is an area that goes beyond W3C, and thus we should consider expanding the README accordingly, noting browser engine diversity issues and opportunities across multiple standards organizations, and leave the W3C-specific parts as part of the origin (but not any restriction in scope) of this repo. If this general approach is non-controversial, I can make pull requests to update the README accordingly for specifics.
