It’s long dead but I’m morally obligated to tweet “DNAinfo did this!” dnainfo.com/new-york/20150…

Debates about the boundaries (or even the existence) of hundreds of New York City neighborhoods are as old as the city itself. We’re trying to create a reader-sourced map of where these boundaries are now. nyti.ms/3uodfz7

So proud of @KeldyOrtiz running in his first #NYCMARATHON. Not the best video but turns out it’s hard to cheer on your friend and record at the same time. Ha. Corre, Keldy. Corre!

I'm not the only person to try this either. Github is littered with the bones of folks who tried to bank transactions accessible. So many abandoned projects. github.com/search?q=bank+…

A year ago I started looking into ways to log my own bank transactions automatically. I figured "All these banks have apps. And a billion personal finance apps can log transactions. Surely these APIs are publicly available!"
Boy was I wrong.

I don't even know what my point is. I'm just mad after my latest brick wall. I don't understand why banks make this so hard. I'm my own data. I should be able to easily access it. I shouldn't have to be a vendor to get my own data.

And oh my god, UK Open Banking. I saw those efforts early on and was like "Okay! Open banking is a thing! This is totally going to work."
LOL I was so wrong. twitter.com/miller_stephen…
