Took the eBike to the grandparents house to pick up Leo instead of the car. Soo much better. Roughly the same time investment, save a liter and a half of fuel, and got some exercise.

🔗 The Need for Speed, Bicycle Messengers in New York (1993)
by JamesThe Need For Speed propels you into the fast and dangerous lives of new York City s hippest sub-culture: the hard core bicycle messengers who adhere to only one motto,- Either you get better or you get dead. They are the last free spirits in America, or as Steve - The Greek puts it, I am Marco Polo, doomed to New York!
I was searching YouTube for a documentary about bike messengers in NYC that I downloaded ages ago and found this fantastic documentary. The actual movie I was searching for was Pedal (2001). What's interesting is that one of the main characters in The Need for Speed, Steve "the Greek" had just started his bike messenger service and was still making runs and he also appears in Pedal, but this time as a dispatcher at his company.
These messengers have no cellphones, no gps. Just a pager (!) so they can use a payphone(!) to find out about their next run. So. Cool. -
by JamesI've started working on a file picker for Tanzawa. You access it by clicking the photo icon. The sizing is still a bit wonky. In the future there should be a search form allowing you to filter your photos.

Clicking a photo re-uses the file detail modal I shared a few days ago, except the actions change from "view on site", "delete" to just "insert into post".Insert a photo into a post
Once you have a few building blocks in place, Turbo / Stimulus is so productive, I'm loving it.
