What I saw somewhat recently #94: May 12, 2022
The weather this week is just 👌 I’ve come to realize that the links I share here in this series are but a very small fraction of the incredible things I find while navigating mankind’s collective of digital content. My best guesstimate would be that I post maybe 5% of what I come across that […]

I’ve added Stupid to my portfolio. I’ll be updating it as I release new featured artists designs. I’ll be writing a blog post about its inception, development, and release soon. If you have any questions, please let me know!
-
I’m beginning to think Tom Brady doesn’t know what retiring means.
-
I would like to connect with more people that make stuff. Software, art, gadgets, blankets, music, it doesn’t matter. Please recommend RSS feeds, Twitter, Mastodon, Flickr, YouTube, anything.

Instagram is the most popular thumbnail image network ever.

Tulips bloomed a few weeks later this year. We are going to move these to a new spot for next year.

Nyasha Green on the issues within the WordPress community
Nyasha Green recently published a post that covers a few issues she’s seeing within the WordPress community and offers solutions on how to fix those issues. One issue she calls out is that the community relies on free labor: Paying people for their labor is simply not what the spirit of the WordPress community stands […]

safari.requestMIDIAccess()
Jeremy Keith recently wrote about Bugblogging: Bugblogging doesn’t need to involve a solution. Just documenting a bug is a good thing to do. I wonder what Germanic compound word Jeremy would come up with to describe blogging about a web API that your favorite browser doesn’t support? Safari does not support navigator.requestMIDIAccess. I dug around […]

🔙🟩 Stupid 121 1/1/2
-
Working on a digital art project I started in December of 2021. Sometimes these things take time.
-
Watching Avatar.
-
Stupid only has 2 image files. Everything else is SVG. I’d like to make it zero.
-
Stupid has no server-side component. It does not store any data on the server. And, it has no tracking or analytics. I have no idea how many people are playing. And I like that.
-
Just added Tom Hanks to the portfolio.

A short Twitter wish list
OK, so Elon bought Twitter (subject to regulatory approval, of course). We can’t change what we can’t control. While I do not think it a great idea to have Elon be the sole owner of Twitter, is it any worse than Jack Dorsey or Ev Williams or anyone else for that matter? I suppose time […]

What I saw somewhat recently #93: April 23, 2022
Started some seedlings I’ve been spending a decent amount of time on a free word game (coming soon) and the redesign of my website. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t collected a cacophony of links for y’all.

This post has moved here. Tags: photowalking-podcast,tags,canon90d,deer,digital-photography,photography,porcupine,vulture,wildlife-photography

I have lots of content to clean up, but the beta version of my site’s redesign is now live.
-
Everyone that runs a Discord server… ban @everyone mentions.
-
Rather than live stream the redesign of my site, I’m going to update the comments on this post regularly as I make progress. This will likely take several weeks. So check back often.

Waxy.org turns 20
I celebrated right along with Andy when Waxy.org turned 10 and I’m still here cheering him on as Waxy.org turns 20. Andy Baio: Ten years ago, I wrote a roundup of my favorite posts from my first decade of blogging, and I thought I’d do the same thing for 2012-2021. If you missed them the first time […]

A sleeping porcupine.

Learning back button focus. 🤯

DuckDuckGo for Mac in private beta
DuckDuckGo: So today we’re excited to announce the beta launch of DuckDuckGo for Mac, with DuckDuckGo for Windows coming soon. Like our mobile app, DuckDuckGo for Mac is an all-in-one privacy solution for everyday browsing with no complicated settings, just a seamless private experience. Plus, we’re excited to share some new features we think you’ll […]

Reminder, try Apple’s Hide My Email
Mike Lapidakis: Last summer, Apple announced that as part of their iCloud+ service expansion, a new feature named Hide My Email was launching. The feature received little fanfare and was mainly swept up in the plethora of other news from WWDC. After using it for nearly a year, I think we’ve done it a bit of a disservice. Even […]

I’m having such a hard time buying a new digital camera. I don’t know why.
-
I’ll say it again. Blogs are the best. I’ll go one step further, personal websites are the best. Self expression in web form.
-
I wish WordPress had an easier way to repost things like most platforms do. I’m pretty jealous of Tumblr’s reblog feature. I used to painstakingly repost things. But, I’d like to do a bit more.
-
Don’t sleep on Tumblr. If you haven’t tried the app in a while it is worth a look. Lots of great content.
-
I might have a new coding project to release in about a week. I’ll want you all to try it. 😊
-
Cutting my own hair. Hard to believe I’ve been doing this for over a decade.
-
I no longer need to choose between shooting black and white or color.
-
Finally added Stripe as the default option to purchase things on my site (such as Cypress). PayPal is still an option. Apple Pay and Google Pay coming soon.

What I saw somewhat recently #93: March 24, 2022
The tulips are on their way. I’ve been very busy at work lately. Going through a software conversion there that will keep me busy well into summer. And, of course, Stripe Transfer is doing well. Here are some links, I hope you enjoy them. That’s it for this one.

Christopher Parsons’ genius photography Shortcut
Christopher Parsons: The Shortcut is pretty simple: when I run it, it maximizes the brightness of my iOS device and opens the Glass app. If you download the Shortcut it’s pretty easy to modify it to instead open a different application (e.g., Instagram, 500px, Flickr, etc). It’s definitely improved my experiences using the app and […]

Fun Wordle method: Tell a bunch of friends to start with the same word. Levels the playing field and is a true competition for the day.

How long does it take to transfer a Stripe account?
I updated Stripe Transfer’s website with new testimonials and a downloadable PDF that provides a rough timeline for transferring accounts on Stripe. When customers are in a time crunch, they generally ask you two questions; how long will this take? how much does it cost? We offer free estimates for Stripe Transfer since we cannot […]

My next live stream and YouTube video will be on my culm dunes photo series. Should be fun.

The video essay boom
Terry Nguyen, for Vox: One can even argue that we are witnessing the video essay’s golden era. Run times are longer than ever, while more and more creators are producing long-form videos. The growth of “creator economy” crowdfunding tools, especially during the pandemic, has allowed video essayists to take longer breaks between uploads while retaining their production quality. […]

Video: Film photo series review The Skateboarders 2021
Last night’s Twitch stream is now available on YouTube w/ chapters.

Reminder: I’ll be live streaming a photo presentation at 6 eastern on Twitch. I expect it to be very boring. So stop by!

At least 6 deer bedded in the backyard night before last. Greener days are ahead my woodland friends.

Join me on Twitch this Sunday, March 13 at 6PM Eastern for a live stream discussion of my photo series The Skateboarders.

Julia Evans on tiny personal programs
Julia Evans: So here are a few examples of small personal programming projects I’ve done. I’m not going to talk about “learning projects” where my goal was to learn something specific because I’ve already written a billion blog posts about that. I’ve written countless tidbits of code to solve personal problems. Some of them end […]

The Mac Studio looks like a fantastic product at every level. Great name, super powerful, great design, great price. And the display! If I wasn’t a laptop person, I’d be buying both right now.

66°F today. A teaser trailer for spring.

What I saw somewhat recently #92: March 3, 2022
I had a much longer list of links that I was going to share but I slowly pruned that list down to just a few. I’ve been very focused on gobbling up as much photography as I can lately. As spring breaks I’m very much looking forward to getting back out and shooting once again.

Ice skating commit log.
Writing helps me think more clearly and to form or transform my opinions. I write about what interests me such as blogging, photography, technology, social media, and my personal creative projects.
