A newly released collection of maps show how much land in US cities is used as parking lots.

According to The Parking Reform Network, Wichita KS is 35% parking lot while Las Vegas, NV is 32% and San Bernadino, CA is a brain-melting 49% parking lot.

Imagine the possibilities if people decided to take back most of that land from empty parked cars and use it for housing and green space instead? 🌳 🚶‍♀️ 🚴 👨‍👩‍👦 🌲

I'm finally getting my act together and buying a Braille display.

I'm thinking I'll get a 14-20 cell display since I'm really slow at reading right now. I also want it to be portable.

It has to work with all the major operating systems and screen readers (iOS, Mac OS, Android, Windows, Chrome OS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, NVDA, JAWS, and Chromevox). I think I don't really care about standalone functionality.
