One thing that was nice about yesterday afternoon’s solar eclipse is that everyone more or less was doing the same thing at the same time and it wasn’t related to something Donald Trump said or tweeted for once.
Some really great pictures came across our feed from people in all parts of the Brooklyn tech world, some of them of the sun, but most of them of people looking at the sun.
Here’s what we did yesterday:

the best thing today has been creeping on people from a rooftop & seeing everyone's head in a box pic.twitter.com/bkaUjsMWY1

Hard to argue with Kate Ray, whose recent project about bookshelf mixtapes is also a look into other people’s worlds.
