My Tile tracker batteries are starting to die and they aren't replaceable. Does anyone have a recommendation for other Android compatible trackers? How about the Pebblebee Tag for Android? Or Chipolo? I'm flying soon and would like to track my checked bags.

Ememem Playfully Revitalizes Cracked Pavement With Vibrantly Patterned Tiles via Colossal [Shared]

No crack in a wall, step, or curb is safe from Ememem’s delightful interventions. The Lyon-based artist (previously), also known as “the pavement surgeon,” continues to scout out gaps in sidewalks that he fills with colorful tiles. Akin to kintsugi, the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold to embrace the history of the object, Ememem’s technique doesn’t hide imperfections so much as highlight their possibilities. While making the surfaces safer to traverse, he adds gives new life to decaying urban walkways.

Even when I’m on holidays, I somehow end up working. This was why the Motorola Moto Tags went to Japan with me, so I could test them head-to-head with Apple’s AirTags and Tile Trackers while trying not to lose my luggage. Here’s my full written and video reviews!

Sehr interessanter #38C3-Talk, der die Grundlagen und Unterschiede der #FindMy (#Apple) und #FindMyDevice (#Google) #Tracker Protokolle und die Unterschiede zwischen #Bluetooth #Classic vs. #BLE erklärt.

Außerdem, welche Probleme dabei gelöst werden, z.B. in Bezug auf #Datenschutz und #Stalking.

Und wie man mit dem #Nordic #nRF52 SDK einen Bluetooth-#Sniffer baut, der direkt mit #Wireshark zusammenarbeitet.

Und wie man die Pieper der Geräte manuell einschalten kann, was möglicherweise auch einiges Nerv-Potential hat.

Barnsdall-Rio Grande Gas Station – Goleta, California

NEARLY 90 YEARS AFTER IT was built, a waits in Goleta, California, for its fate to be decided.

The Barnsdall-Rio Grande gas station was born of the sudden tremendous success of its namesake oil company and the influence of the civic leader .

Chase was leading the efforts to rebuild the Santa Barbara area after the 1925 earthquake, and favored style architecture.

When the oil company hired the firm Morgan, Walls & Clements to build its flagship gas station near their oil fields on Highway 101, it followed Chase’s example. The building was small but impressive, with walls, red on the roof, a molded border for the upper windows, a on top, and blue and white around the doors and windows on the first floor.

was known to stop there when traveling between Los Angeles and San Simeon.

The gas station survived a Japanese on the California coast in 1942, but a few years later Highway 101 was rerouted, isolating the little gas station, and by the early 1950s it had closed.

Still , its future is uncertain. Residents hope the building will be restored to its former beauty and made into a .

Another of my nautical-themed blue and white tiles. This time a deep sea diver, old-school, waving hello to everyone on Mastodon.

The original art was done with gouache on translucent Yupo, which seemed to give me a glaze-on-ceramic type of feeling while painting. The art was then scanned, reproduced as glaze transfers, applied to tiles, and fired (by a ceramicist in Ohio, who sells them).
