Did some work on The Watercolor Gallery today with new features, spruced up some old paintings, updated the about page, added a donate page, and a bunch more.

Yesterday I published an interview with the NFT artist and watercolorist AnimaToey from Bangkok, Thailand over on The Watercolor Gallery.
I published a new photo series Sandbridge Beachhouses into my portfolio (and on Flickr, IG, Tweet). Click the image to see more of them.
No Time To Die was just OK.

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.
Twitter’s project Bluesky seems stuck in the mud
Yesterday I randomly wondered what the status of Twitter's Bluesky project was – a project that promises to create a protocol for federating the microblogging platform in the same way that SMTP/IMAP…
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?

Photographing 40-foot Falls in Archbald, PA just after Hurricane Ida

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.

I was recently able to jump on a train and photograph the Engineer. Look for that in my portfolio when I develop the film. Speaking of my photography portfolio, I've added several…
