Near Northeast
One of my customers is opening a new bar in a part of DC that has been less than safe for a long, long time. The level of work underway around here can only be described as immense. I see this being a real hotspot once it’s all done.
In these photos, I’m sitting at the red light at 12th & H St. NE, waiting to turn left. Looking left and right, I can envision the street cars that will run here. I’m sure I’ll hop off just a block from here for Sticky Rice.
My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on.

[clerk]: “Hi, how can I help you?”
Customer: “Is this the real life?”
[clerk]: “Excuse me?”
Customer: “Is this just fantasy?”
[clerk]: *catching on* “Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.”
Customer: “D*** it! I was trying to prank you! You shouldn’t know what I’m doing!”
[clerk]: “Doesn’t really matter to me, to meeee.”
Customer: “F*** you!” *storms off*
Courage is being scared to death – and saddling up anyway.

Sort of private
The internet is constantly, relentlessly public. Post something and it’s there, for everyone, all the time.
Acar has come up with a clever idea, a small idea that makes things just a little protected. Trick.ly is a url shortener with a twist. You can share a URL but hide it behind a question that only insiders can easily answer.
So, for example, you could tweet, “Here’s the source for my world-class chili: http://trick.ly/2L5”. Anyone can go there, but only people who can figure out the clue can discover the site you were pointing to.
It’s not secure. It’s sort of private. Neato.
