Cameras or film stock comparisons, pushing and pulling film tutorials, etc. are all soooo insipid… until you are looking to buy one of them and then they are valuable. I do wish there were far more YouTube videos about deeper photographic topics though.

TIL that Duck.com has a quick JS minifier built right in. Useful while working on the Micro.blog bookmarklet. Cool.

Me: You’d be better off contacting Albert Einstein.
May 4, 2021How long before Twitter buys Medium to bail out Ev and allow people to publish tweets, audio chat rooms, newsletters, and long-form blog posts to their Super Followers?

May 4, 2021• 3 CommentsI just published an all-new artist interview with Matthew Cogswell in Los Angeles over on The Watercolor Gallery. Amazing talent.
April 30, 2021I know I’m old, but… I’m not a fan of blog posts that have sub-headings where each only has a short paragraph underneath them. Sub-headings should be used for more substantial things.
April 29, 2021• 8 CommentsThanks to everyone that has purchased or donated to my projects lately. I have development chemicals, paper, and a viewfinder I need to buy soon so these donations help.
April 28, 2021I recently stumbled onto Piper Haywood’s Index page and knew I wanted my own. It is now built into Cypress for WordPress‘ latest release.
April 28, 2021• 5 CommentsI was able to use an M1 MacBook Air briefly over the weekend. What a super capable tiny computer! The M1 really is a huge leap forward.
April 28, 2021• 2 CommentsToday there are updates for both Red Oak and Cypress for Micro.blog! Red Oak gets the ability to choose different colors and Cypress gets Dark Mode! Both options available in config.json. These updates should roll out today.
April 27, 2021• 6 CommentsFor a few brief moments this weekend I was able to pull out my two favorite pieces of kit. I’m really hoping I can take a lot more photos on film over the next few months as things open up a little.
I’m excited to say that Red Oak is now available for WordPress. The price will go up in 7 days. Red Oak sports a cool photos view built on a custom post type, customizable colors (like the new iMacs!), and a few other odds and ends. Maybe buy a copy?

April 26, 2021• 4 CommentsWhat Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram did to blogging — Spotify and Apple Podcasts are attempting to do to Podcasts.
Make it dead simple but put it in a silo and position themselves between the creator from the customer.
April 24, 2021• 17 CommentsBeing able to write code feels even more like a superpower today than it did when I started in 1994.
April 22, 2021Red Oak for WordPress is turning out pretty great. Looking forward to getting it out there next week. Red Oak for Micro.blog will be getting bug fixes soon too. Did you know it was already live?

April 19, 2021• 3 CommentsI made progress on Red Oak for WordPress. Looking like release next week. On Micro.blog it should appear in the Design settings very soon for people to test out. Please report any issues you have. I’m sure there will be some.

April 19, 2021• 4 CommentsI just published a release of Cypress for WordPress to all that have it installed. I love how the Micro.blog and WordPress versions help each other find bugs and both can get patched as a result.
April 19, 2021 • 1 CommentJust restarted my Mac for no other reason than I felt it deserved it. I’ve been really pushing The Machine (what I named it, see Carl Sagan’s Contact) the last few months since I restarted it.

Spotify is still much, much better than Apple Music (which I pay for via Apple One) and seems to be increasing their lead lately. Come on Apple.
April 15, 2021• 4 CommentsThanks to everyone that sent in bugs with Red Oak for Micro.blog. I’ve pushed several updates that address all of the known bugs for now. I’m sure there will be more but may not be able to fully test it until people install it.

April 13, 2021Yay! Red Oak, my latest theme for Micro.blog (and soon WordPress) is available for beta testing. You can see a preview of it here. There is an FAQ on my projects page for it. I hope OG bloggers like it. 🙂
April 13, 2021I’m working on a second theme for both Micro.blog and WordPress. This time, it will come to Micro.blog members first (free for members) and then to WordPress for an introductory price. The M.b version is almost ready for beta testing.
