No Time To Die was just OK.
Digital Ocean’s free static site hosting is a very quick and easy way to deploy small JavaScript-only apps.
Penelope update, November 2021.

I wonder which Micro.blog member lives closest to me?
If you’re reading this and are a Digital Ocean guru, I’d love your help. I have 3 droplets and 1 app and I’d love to see if I have them configured properly, make sure they are up-to-date, etc.
Deleting data from Google Photos is criminally difficult.
I’m going to try to wait a few months before updating to macOS Monterey. Especially after reading reports like this. Last year I was able to wait until February.
I’ll be live on Instagram tonight with a friend in Oregon. We will be scanning negatives, developing film, etc. Join us at 7pm eastern.
Where I was for a week.

I’ve turned off cross-posting to Twitter from my blog. I found it caused me to hit ‘publish’ less often.
Anyone else on Big Sur have to force quit Finder once a week to get Airdrop from Finder work again? Just me?
A few 2020 lockdown panoselfies. #panoselfie

I predict Adam Mosseri’s resignation within 90 days. He’s constantly saying things that make him the story rather than Instagram. I doubt Zuckerberg will put up with that for too long.
Is anyone giving consideration to using iCloud+ Mail to replace Gmail for Domains? I am.
App idea: Instagram but for photos.
Gut reaction to today’s Apple Event: Solid, reasonable updates but nothing amazing? Perhaps I have to dig deeper. I’m sure a lot of work went into the improvements.
I’ve added two new portfolio pieces to my site; Max and Anthony. More to come. You can see them on Instagram as well. Here are some photos from last night’s session in the darkroom.



Taking a few days off from the web. 👋
Watching Micro Camp videos.
Just re-upped our 1Password family plan for another year. A no-brainer. 1Password is so good.
Dug up a rather large, three-tiered Yellowjacket nest this morning before leaving for work.
Good murder mystery movies, fire them at me.
Oh crap. I have an idea.
I would like to take fall and winter off from my day job to work on my software projects.
The Pixel 6 seems pretty nice. I doubt Google’s SOC will compare to Apple’s SOC but I do think it is a meaningful update to the Pixel line.
OK, Apple. I have a very brief window where I might be able to expense a new 16″ M1 MacBook Pro. I’m totally happy with my current 16″ MBP but I wouldn’t mind far better battery life.
I do not like scroll jacking. Very seldom is it even “cool” when you see it. Most of the time it is simply hard to know how many times I have to scroll in order to see the next few words.
Was stung by a Yellowjacket yesterday. Why are wasps so mean?
No link list today, unfortunately. It has been a crazy day and I just don’t have the mental power to be in front of the computer any more today. 👋
