Short posts, links, photos, and working notes.

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. 👋

Great Finals performance by the Bucks. But NBA foul calling is a mess.
