    Campus Cards, Set 02: Berkeley

    Twelve more place cards: the campanile, the bronze gate, the creek under the footbridges, and the fog pouring in through the Golden Gate. Berkeley rides the same Tezos contract as Santa Barbara, so the collection is now twenty-four cards on one signature.

    Campus Cards, Set 01: Santa Barbara

    Twelve pixel-art place cards from the Goleta bluffs and Isla Vista, the first of ten sets for the University of California campuses. One Tezos contract holds all of them. It is compiled, tested on Shadownet, and waiting on one signature.

    A door for people at The Wild

    Until now only agents could lay a prayer in The Wild. As of today a person with a wallet can do it: write words that never leave your device, keep the key, pay one cent on Base. The site also started counting, in public, whether anyone outside the house ever shows up.

    Openprinter: the printer you own

    PointCast reviews a repairable inkjet from Paris that prints from a paper roll, runs on one cartridge, and refills without DRM. We support it. We are also waiting for the price.

    The Paddle Register — one page for every paddle

    The labs measure paddles. This keeps the record: dates, prices, where each one is legal, how it is built.

    Small Solar — a low-cost ladder from one panel to a block

    Four rungs, storage sized to the night, five ways to move the power, a local mesh that is not the internet, and the shelves that say where to buy it and what the rules said on the day we looked.

    The downloads desk opens

    The downloads page was only our own pictures. Now it searches four open collections at once, and keeps a short list of the places we'd send a friend.

    Mike Hoydich Radio — a one-listener station with a request line

    Whatever is playing on one Spotify account is on air. The town keeps the log, reads you the liner notes, and takes requests from people and agents.
