Wplace - A massive real-time pixel art canvas on the world map! Wplace is a collaborative, real-time pixel canvas layered over the world map, where anyone can paint and create art together.

The "hack" that got it to work for me is to put an extra slash at the end of the URL: wplace.live//

Yeah, I don't know why. Some weird config on that server.

Did you bring your Game Boy so you can play Tetris the whole way there?

Thank you, Ann Arbor. Today is a great day.

How a public library's summer game took over a Michigan city Summer in Ann Arbor, Mich., means thousands of people hunting for hidden codes around the city and reading books to earn points. It's part of a popular game organized by the public library.

The audio version of the @npr.org Summer Game story is up! Thanks so much to @ulabeast.bsky.social for spending time with us and our amazing patrons!

Ann Arbor, please show me that there's more reasonable voters in this town than all the Nextdoor NIMBYs.

Vote YES on A & B for a usable downtown space for the people of Ann Arbor, not just an eternally undeveloped parking lot. And make sure all your reasonable friends vote, too.

The internet was a mistake

Kenzo World is one of the most breathtaking pieces ever filmed, in any format. Absolutely amazing performance.

Ha! Must have just missed you. I had the same idea...

A2 friends, right now you have the EXTRA SPECIAL opportunity to vote FOR the library, AT the library! Early voting sites are the Westgate, Traverwood, and Mallets Creek @aadl.org branches, as well as City Hall. Get yourself to any of 'em and vote YES on A and B today! #a2council

Look how well the Library Green Conservancy supports the existing “green” space in the current Center of the City. I suppose the shade of “green” they are conserving is “weed green”. Maybe throw some of the $60K spent on mailers towards maintaining space you’ve had control of for the last 7 years.

If Props A and B pass, the library will get to develop the lot nextdoor as part of a big exciting new venture.

If they don't pass, it will stay a small surface parking lot in perpetuity. It will never be a park, LGC has seen to that.

La vérité blesse.

A screenshot of text reading: "Now, when the City and the AADL are working together to make the corner of 5th and William and the parking garage roof a place to live, work and play for generations, the Library Green Conservancy with their ads and mailers are once again trying to misuse a beloved and valued public institution’s reputation, and for what? They don’t appear to be serious about developing the area as a park. They are accountable to no-one and take no responsibility for their lack of progress since 2018. Shouldn’t an organization that wants to be responsible for public space take some responsibility for their work on that public space? I think it is worth the public’s time to ask them."

In 2018, we promised voters we would fund a park on the library lot without taxpayer dollars. Instead, we spent our 501c3's money on mailers opposing proposals that'd fund the park for free. Here's why it's everyone else's fault that the parking lot has remained desolate and uninviting. #a2council

AADL staff picked some of their favorite My Dream Library submissions and sent along some words about why they loved those designs the best! See what they had to say ⬇️

As the August 5th election nears, we've been getting a lot of questions from patrons who have heard or read false claims about Proposals A&B. So, we've put together this page with the false claims we've heard and the facts that refute them:

U-M graduates find love through Ann Arbor library’s summer games Their first date was entering codes for the AADL scavenger hunt, and it was the first thing they did after they got married.

Skubal for Heisman

Hey! You drank my milkshake!

Hear pros and cons of ballot proposals for a new downtown Ann Arbor library A public forum is planned to discuss the pros and cons of Proposals A and B.

This is a debate like "we should maybe decline to keep stepping on banana peels v. nah banana peels are totally fun to step on and we should keep doing it" is a debate.

That’s some classic dad shit right there (literally)

A map of Ann Arbor showing red pins marking locations of lawn codes. They are absolutely everywhere, you can hardly see the map for the codes!

#summergame at @aadl.org is off to a RIP-ROARIN' start! It's only day 3, and we've already had over 500 lawn or library codes created. You've got all summer to find me & the 1000-point code on my shirt: aadl.org/findingeli This summer is already shaping up to be the biggest yet. THANKS FOR PLAYING!
