One of the few reasons I still browse my bird site feed are the 🐶 clips, that help me brighten my day.

I just noticed these #FirefoxRocket ads when I open a new tab in FF. Come-ons we're smaller size, some features removed from mainstream FF, and no tracking.

I'm already using #FirefoxKlar as my default, so I don't know if this offers anything different.

Pagkatapos kong mabasa yung resulta ng surbey para pagka-senador, napag- tanto ko na maraming tao ay sumasagot lang ng pangalan para mapuno yung bilang na kailangan.

Parang yung mga nagsusulit, na gustong lang maka-tsamba, at sumasagot nang kung ano-ano.

Ang sakit sa mata nung listahang 'yun.

Growing old with friends is probably the best thing about growing old. Happy unbirthday to us! 🎉

In our #pupsjcwts #OpenStreetMap workshops, public speaking and presentations aren't always sought after tasks. We sometimes resort to up having to try our luck with #RockPaperScissors

Have you discovered out the #mapathoner plugin for the Java #OpenStreetMap editor (#JOSM) yet?

https://qeef.gitlab.io/mapathoner/usage/

It's not any faster than the Buildings Plugin for digitizing buildings, but it can automatically draw an area and tag it as `landuse=residential` by selecting all the buildings, with a CTRL+SHIFT+R keystroke.

*Suman* is another rice cake delicacy in the #Philippines. Traditionally, individually wrapped in banana leaves, also with palm-leaf fronds, although contemporary versions may use waxed paper.

There are many variants, and this green suman is made from Pinipig - pounded, young, green rice which makes it a bit gummy and chewy - and yummy!

These may be eaten as-is, while some like to dip them in sugar. Some have *latik* (coconut milk curds) blended in.

I 💜 crunchy, peanut butter on them.

I just registered for the #OpenStreetMap #ompongPH #mapathon this Sunday, the 26th! Deets @ https://ti.to/mapamore/ompongph

#openstreetmap mapathons are an awesome way to socialize with old friends - and meeting new ones, while working together toward the same goal.

We are grateful to all on-site and remote volunteers from various communities who spent their time mapping for #ompongph. Kudos to our co-organizers David Garcia (working remotely from NZ) , Mikko Tamura (#redcross #Philippines) , and Feye Andal for prepping tasks , that led to this awesome #mapatime Sunday.

Our #ompongph #mapathons are eco-friendly, too. Plant-based containers and utensils.

Got a few minutes to spare for humanitarian mapping? We are preparing for category 5 typhoon Mangkhut (aka Ompong in PHL), expected to make landfall in northern #Philippines tomorrow morning.

Pramis! Isang bote lang. 😶

Fixed the 🚲 bike today, and explored the neighboring city again and ended up in another "Japanese" ramen-ya 🍜, in an inner street of a residential neighborhood.

I went for their best seller, spicy ramen and some forgettable tempura maki.

It was a mistake to order that ramen. The chili oil over-powered the interesting broth, and their noodles tasted like they were freshly-made. Next time, I'll try out a more basic base, like shoyu or miso.

Argh. I had to take out the wheel and pull out the tube cause I couldn't couldn't find the puncture - or what caused it. Then finally, found out it was a mis-behaving Presta valve. N00b. 👶🦙

If Ben Franklin was a cyclist, he would have added another inevitability to life, apart from death and taxes - tyre punctures. 🚲

The octopus is one of those fascinating creatures of the ocean, and a favorite of scientists who are studying animal sentience/consciousness - which makes it difficult for me to think of them as food.

During a recent meet-up with some #geofolks , the idea for a major local event came up again. We previously had this conversation after hosting #OpenStreetMap #sotmasia back in 2016, and we thought it might be a good idea to have the next geo/mapping event hosted outside #Manila.

If you're from the #philippines , or nearby region, please help us narrow down possible venue sites that you're likely to go to, if the event is hosted thereabouts.
