I have two invites to Clubhouse, if anyone hasn’t had the chance to try it and would like to. Send me an email with your phone number if you’d like to try it out.

It wasn’t planned, but more and more I view my photography as documentary. A photo of a building, person, landscape need only for time to pass before they become important. For instance, this building that I photographed last year is now gone.
March 4, 2021I’m now selling code, digital photos, and optional print photos. Back in November 2020 I asked which one I should do and Jim Grey said do them all! So now I am. It would mean the world to me if you’d share Cypress via your site/social accounts. Or, purchase a print! It will help me buy more film. 😍
March 4, 2021At work we’re all on Office 365. Microsoft has this thing called the Cortana Daily Briefing. It is pretty powerful. Anytime you write to a colleague something like “I’ll call you later” this daily email will remind you of that. I’ve found it very useful.
March 4, 2021The final show stopping bug in Cypress has been fixed. So now I’ll back away from it for a little while, give it a second look, and wait for feedback from the beta testers. But the current build is a release candidate. I should have it available to purchase on my site tonight or tomorrow. I’ll start it at an introductory price for a week or two.
March 3, 2021I used Docker to spin up a local WordPress development environment to work on Cypress. This way I can just save my work locally and test builds rather than needing to deploy those changes. I think I’ll write up how I did this soon. Oh! The theme is ready to be released. I’m just working on one bug with theme updates.
March 3, 20216 • CommentsTrudged through greater than knee-high snow on a hike this weekend. Wiped me out! Could it be that I’m getting older? Nah, I blame quarantine.
I’d like to add Micro.blog as an option in the WordPress theme I’m working on. I wonder if I can extend the Material Icon set?
March 2, 202119 • CommentsThird beta release of Cypress is out the door. A few main things left and it should be ready for the first public release build. I added a version history section to the page. When the theme is released there will also be a quick video showing how to set it up.
March 1, 20214 • CommentsHumankind have yet to invent a way to “catch up” when you stumble upon a great blog with deep archives.
March 1, 2021I think Super Follow and Communities both make total sense for Twitter. They need to make money on things other than ads.
February 26, 2021The new hotness over the last year has been to move out of cities and into more rural areas. I’ve lived here all my life and really enjoy the lifestyle it affords. So, welcome city folk. Make yourself at home. And relax.
February 25, 2021My very first roll of film shot through my new camera had some issues. Thankfully, Ilford is sending replacements for all of my rolls. They make excellent products and have excellent service.
February 25, 20213 • CommentsI’ve made tons of progress on Cypress, a portfolio theme for WordPress, in the last few days. I’ll be shipping to the beta users soon. Thanks to those that signed up. I’ll be giving away a domain license to the beta testers as thanks.
February 24, 2021So this is a little scary. After asking for beta testers I thought “What better way than to test it on my site?” So, Cypress, a portfolio theme for WordPress, is now running live on my site. It isn’t perfect. The front-page is empty. But, I’ll get there. Consider signing up to help!
February 23, 2021I’m close to needing a beta tester or two for my next project release. Can you help? You’ll need; a WordPress install. It is a theme made for people with visual portfolios (photographers, painters, designers, etc.). If that is you? Please reach out.
February 23, 2021 • 1 CommentWatching Spotify’s media event. I think I only understand about 25% of the words they are using.
February 22, 20215 • CommentsA camera system that I hope to use for the next 40 years arrived yesterday. The Mamiya 645.
As the snow melts and freezes and melts and freezes the deer have a tough time digging for food. So each February that I am able, I like to put out some corn for them. We now have four regular visitors at about 3am.
I forgot to mention, I’ve learned how to use the color head on my enlarger and I can now change the contrast of my prints using multi-grade paper just by turning up/down the magenta and/or yellow. Game changer. Dramatically reduces my need to dodge and burn.

February 18, 20216 • CommentsI huge side benefit of my usage of Unmark is that I store an enormous amount of links in it and let them stew for a few days or even weeks sometimes – by the time I get to many of them they aren’t important anymore so I didn’t waste any time on them.
February 17, 20213 • CommentsI’ve updated to Big Sur. I’ve been running for a little while. It is very good. It is also stable. And I like the refreshed UI.

February 11, 20214 • CommentsOur kitchen garbage can has a robot in it. It is a terrible robot and it is terrible at its job. Some things simply do not need robots in them.
February 9, 20217 • CommentsI’d like to set up a few cameras around the outside of the house. They only need to take a photo every few minutes and upload them to a central computer locally in the house or on the web. Any recommendations? (Nest, Ring, et al. is the incorrect answer)
