Saw this, blew my mind, thought I'd share. Behold, Lençóis Maranhenses:

When I heard in the video how big it was, I turned on satellite view in Google Maps and popped "Lençóis Maranhenses" into the search bar:

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 2.0.7 – 23 November 2025 – is now available on github, as is MEGAMAP 2.0.7.

This release contains two major corrections to the 2 Line Bike Connector Map, as well as notice of a December 1-5 closure of the EastRail Trail in Renton near the Seahawks Training Centre.

Here’s the complete changes list:

WARNING: EastRail Trail South in Renton near the Seahawks Training Centre will be CLOSED from December 1-5 for regravelling. (MEGAMAP only)
CORRECTION: 132nd/134th from NE 24th to NE 60th in Bellevue along Bridal Trails Park is currently INCORRECTLY labelled as having bike lanes. IT DOES NOT. This will be corrected locally (ala Seattle corrections) and I will relay the error to the maintainers of the 2 Line Bike Connector Map. Thanks to @astruder for the correction. (MEGAMAP only)
CORRECTION: NE 40th in Bellevue between 140th and 148th Ave NE is currently INCORRECTLY labelled as having bike lanes. IT DOES NOT. This will be corrected local (ala Seattle corrections) and I will relay the error to the maintainers of the 2 Line Bike Connector Map. Thanks to @astruder for the correction. (MEGAMAP only)
REMOVED: Work on Sammamish River Trail in Woodinville between 175th and 178th is functionally complete, and no more closures are listed. (Both maps)

All permalinks continue to work.

If you enjoy these maps and feel like throwing some change at the tip jar, here’s my patreon. Patreon supports get things like pre-sliced printables of the Greater Northshore, and also the completely-uncompressed MEGAMAP, not that the .jpg has much compression in it because honestly it doesn’t.

Enjoy biking!

Let's say, hypothetically I wanted to move a whole bunch of feeds I listen to en masse off of Spotify and onto something else, is there any way to do that other than manually looking at each feed, in alphabetical order, and searching it up elsewhere?

The Sundial WIP has nudged me repeatedly to consider contrasts.

Unlike with simple stripes, where two hues are adjacent, in Sundial several hues meet at once. Per pattern-segment, the three hues to consider are for the current primary yarn; the outbound secondary, which was primary in the prior segment; and the inbound secondary, which will become primary next.

Beyond that, a bunch of my yarn leftovers are variegated, such that more than three colors may be in play at once, and the variegation occurs at different rates and intensities. That's what makes the project akin to thread-on-cloth quilting, except that unlike most quilters, I don't have to care (and indeed I don't care at all) whether a section is coordinated. There's a rather small box, yarn-ball wide by about 9" = 24 cm long, to hold the working yarn and the next colorway or two. Though I set it up to keep the working yarn from rolling around (and to remind tiny housemate that whatever's in a container, even an open one, isn't for dogs), it also limits accidental overplanning.

So far, for Sundial I've broken into unused skeins only once, and undone stalled projects twice. The three skeins were bought 9, 12, and 14 years ago, respectively, each for socks I won't knit. I may yet knit socks sometime, but I'm sure not knitting any right now.

The Bostoniensis household's last grocery order included some cucumbers but the delivery service mystifyingly substituted for them a head of cabbage. They were very apologetic when Mr B called to complain, and refunded us the price of the cabbage, so now it's a free cabbage. But it's still here taking up a remarkably large volume of space in our fridge, what with the spherical thing, and it's a week before Thanksgiving.

Cooking a cabbage was not on our plans for this week. But throwing out a perfectly good cabbage seems sad. And I have been complaining about not getting enough veggies to eat. So.

Anybody have a very delicious recipe for cabbage that conforms to the following parameters?:

• Cooked. No raw cabbage.

• Really, really low effort. I am resigned to having to chop the cabbage itself, but maybe minimal other chopping of other veggies or meats. Something where the actual cooking isn't too fussy.

• Not haluski. We love haluski. We have most of the ingredients for haluski. We do not have the time or energy for taking on a project like haluski.

• Not stuffed cabbage. The kind with ground beef and tomato sauce. Neither of us likes it. Possibly because we don't like the taste of cabbage in tomato sauce.

• Not corned beef and cabbage. We love corned beef and cabbage but omg have you seen the price of brisket.

• Relately, maybe no stewing or slow cooking? The smell of slow cooking the corned beef and cabbage is dire, and we don't want to have to flush air we paid to heat. Maybe it would be okay if more heavily seasoned.

• Gotta mostly be cabbage. We have a lot of cabbage to get through.

We like spicy, though it's not required; no cilantro, and probably no coconut. Main dish or side, with meat or without.

Edit: Okay, maybe we'll just buy more cabbages. I am very excited by this harvest of recipes.
