I’m not going to get to all of the topics below, but I’m going to try, and still keep the note around 1,500 words.
- Buffalo ? NYC – (continuation of my occasional storytime series)
- Charlottesville area real estate market update (likely a short synopsis of the Nest Report)
- Data and Fair Housing – touching on algorithmic discrimination
- Smart Cville; a cool group with which I’ve been working
- Maybe touch on Nazis and how/why I’m advocating supporting the plaintiffs in the suit against the Nazis who came to Charlottesville.
- Walled gardens ? the Internet. And how that’s a bad and dangerous thing.
- What I’m reading
- Blog roundup from RealCrozetVA & RealCentralVA
