Dec 22, 2022 Note Last day of work done. Just deleted all social apps from my phone. Going to put my nose in a book, some food, and some bourbon. 👋
Dec 21, 2022 Note My website has supported dark mode based on the user's system preferences. But now, those among you that prefer to toggle it on a per-website basis can do so. There are options for On, System, or Off. I keep my preference at System but…
Dec 18, 2022 Note I've just added a new watercolor sketch of a landscape in China to my portfolio. My grandmother photographed the scene in 1987.
Dec 17, 2022 Note Rewrote most of my static site generator over the last few days. Cut the build time in half at the same time as doubling the number of files it deals with. The latest update adds monthly blog post indexes.
Dec 15, 2022 Note I'm trying to decide which text editor I want to write my blog posts in. Left to right: Sublime Text, MacDown, VS Code
Dec 14, 2022 Note Looks like we'll all be in line trying to buy the iPhone 15 EU running iOS 17 EU. iEU?
Dec 14, 2022 Note I don't understand the push towards self-driving cars? Do you really think a robot can merge onto a highway while eating a bowl of breakfast cereal and putting on eyeliner? I don’t think so!
Dec 14, 2022 Note Over many years of watching YouTube videos something has become clear to me; quite often, the fewer views a video has the more information I seem to glean from it. A 3-hour presentation on fine art photography from many years ago? 55 views? <3…
Dec 13, 2022 Note By opening Slack, Teams, and Discord on your computer at the same time you’re running all of the JavaScript ever written since the time of the Egyptian pyramids.
Dec 12, 2022 Note This weekend Eliza and I tried some experiments in the darkroom with paper negatives that failed completely. It is good to be humbled from time-to-time.
Dec 10, 2022 Note Making backups of my site's content is easier than ever. Just like my photo library I now have 4 complete back ups that will seldom be very far out of date.
Dec 8, 2022 Snap Developed two rolls of Tri-X last night. One I have no idea where it came from – and it looks like the camera had a light leak (selective memory?). But the other looks terrific. I can't wait to spend some time in the darkroom.
Dec 8, 2022 Note Spent some time this morning making adjustments to dates in RSS feeds. I think they should be accurate now. Sorry to all subscribers for the odd RSS behaviour the last few days.
Dec 7, 2022 Note I'm going into year 3 of learning film photography and darkroom printing. One thing is abundantly clear, both of these disciplines are wholly separate. If you find yourself good at one and struggle with the other, do not feel bad. Both require skill. Both…
Dec 6, 2022 Note What is Apple's policy for updating things like rsync on macOS? The preinstalled version is very old.
Dec 5, 2022 Note iCloud+ email sometimes misclassifies replies as junk mail. I would think that my having emailed the person first would be enough for Apple to know the email isn't Junk?
Dec 4, 2022 Note I'm getting dangerously close to switching away from WordPress and onto Tuff – my personal static site generator. Like any well tended garden, I'll need to pick weeds and cast seed, but the important bits are done.
Nov 29, 2022 Snap Spent about 90-minutes in the darkroom making this print. It is an 11×14 print from a 6×6 neg taken in 2020 at Keuka lake in New York State.
Nov 27, 2022 Note Yesterday I took a stranger’s portrait. It was quick, likely poor lighting, and may not turn out at all. But I’m super happy that I worked up the courage to ask.
Nov 25, 2022 Note My favorite ways to view photographs, in order: books, iPad (someone’s website, or in Flickr app), YouTube on TV.
Nov 18, 2022 Note We’re going down down in an earlier round, and sugar we’re going down swinging. 🎶
Nov 15, 2022 Note TIL Vivaldi, in addition to building a browser chocked full of features like email, to do lists, contact management, and note taking, also has a blogging service and now a hosted Mastodon instance. Productive team!
Nov 14, 2022 Note Poll, of sorts: How do you balance creation vs consumption? I often wrestle with myself on how much I read or watch compared to how much I write or make or create. My desired ratio is 90/10. Unfortunately it is more like 10/90.
Nov 3, 2022 Note I'm at the age where I totally understand why Mister Rogers changed his sweater and shoes when entering his home.
Nov 2, 2022 Note I wish Apple would transition away from using photos from Yelp in Maps. First, license the photos in such a way that we no longer need to navigate out of the Maps app. Allow people to submit their own photos to locations. Slowly remove…
