Mastodon.social seems super slow this morning. Is this really because Jack stepped down as Twitter CEO? Or coincidental?

I published a new photo series Sandbridge Beachhouses into my portfolio (and on Flickr, IG, Tweet). Click the image to see more of them.

I’ve turned off cross-posting to Twitter from my blog. I found it caused me to hit ‘publish’ less often.

Southern BBQ Almost a month since my last list. I’ve been busy. The photo above is a homemade southern BBQ I made last weekend. Smoked brisket, collards, Mac and cheese, cornbread, pickles and onions. All made by Eliza and I. Now, onto the links: I have a backlog the length of a DNA strand. I’ll…

Photographing 40-foot Falls in Archbald, PA just after Hurricane Ida
40-foot falls is a waterfall I had no idea existed until just this year despite living in this area of Northeastern Pennsylvania for the majority of my life. I heard about it from a YouTube video by Dale Keklock, a local historian of sorts that is painstakingly documenting the now moribund coal industry in our…

What I saw somewhat recently #86: September 11, 2021
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 portraits including Max, Anthony, Zombie, and Bill. My goal is far more portraits moving forward. I’d love your feedback on them! You can…

Glass observations
Glass, a new photo sharing app, has been making the rounds this week since it launched to the public, via an invite only roll out, and has had a fair bit of press and photographer fain fare. I gave away a few invites myself. First, a bit of background material you may want to peruse…

Penelope in a basket This week was full of family visitors and new kittens. Oh, and of course links!

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.

Mine water bubbles up from the earth Long week this week. Perhaps a long month. The above photo is about a mile upstream on the creek that edges our property where frigid mine water spills out. It is both cool and clear and runs all year long. Enjoy this week’s links.

Bourdain’s voice
I still miss Anthony Bourdain very much. See this and this. I was somewhat excited to learn that a documentary about him was being made. The only thing that kept me from full-on excitement was that I still haven’t been able to bring myself to rewatch all of his episodes. And I’ve been wanting to…

If you’re near Endwell, NY you have to eat here With the holiday I stayed off the computer as much as possible as per usual. I have some great links in the hopper but they may take a week or two to get onto these lists as I process them. Here are this week’s links:

What I saw somewhat recently #82: July 1, 2021
It is hard to believe it is July 2021 already. Last week I was on vacation so I stayed away from the computer completely. That being said, the links piled up for this week and I’m still behind on my Unmark queue and the links I’ve ferreted away in Simplenote. I hope you enjoy this…

Thoughts on WWDC 2021
A few thoughts on WWDC 2021. Overall, I believe this was a solid WWDC. So much so, that I think I’ll hop on the beta train when we get to the second or third public beta release.

What I saw somewhat recently #79: June 3, 2021
Margarita painting session? Yes. I work 4-day work weeks. So with the holiday being Monday everything was compressed into 3 days. I’m not complaining. However, it has meant that my internet travels were lessened some.

Chris J. Davis: My first WordPress plugin in years is out now, testing the waters with premium plugins. Kids have to eat people. Check out EASYLinks. Check out EASYLinks here.

My current opinion of crypto
If you believe crypto is the future, or if you believe it is a pyramid scheme, please read this entire post so that you understand my current opinion on crypto. I hope I articulate it well enough. Also, I want to state at the outset, almost every blog post or tweet about crypto ends up…

Everyone’s Twitter bio should probably have the word investor in it by now. The word’s meaning (and perhaps weight) have changed a lot over the last 10 years.

Enjoy this week’s links. A nice mix this week. See you next Thursday.

What Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram did to blogging — Spotify and Apple Podcasts are attempting to do to Podcasts. Make it dead simple but put it in a silo and position themselves between the creator from the customer.

Photopea – A free browser-based Photoshop
Ivan Kutskir, the one-person team behind Photopea: My friends and my family did not know about Photopea during the first four years of development. I was spending a lot of time building it, without making any money or learning new skills. So nothing to be proud of, but the project was fun and I enjoyed…

Mark Jardine on making simple things
Mark Jardine: I’ve noticed that when I successfully create something simple, I want to make more things as opposed to failing at something complicated. Since January I’ve been spending little bits of time here and there on my projects. Back then I stated it was to join in the fun of releasing small things, rather…

If you can believe it, this is my first WIS post from in 2021. I’ve been keeping a small backlog of links that I’ve wanted to share but mostly I’ve shared links here as separate posts. I think once I get to #75 I’d like to do a retrospective and pull forward all of my…

Seth Godin on NFTs and my background
Seth Godin: The more time and passion that creators devote to chasing the NFT, the more time they’ll spend trying to create the appearance of scarcity and hustling people to believe that the tokens will go up in value. They’ll become promoters of digital tokens more than they are creators. Because that’s the only reason…

thiscodeWorks.com
Over the weekend I was reading an interview with Patrick Collison of Stripe (who had a big weekend) and he linked to this YouTube video interview with Mishka Orakzai the founder of thiscodeWorks.com. She describes it as the Pinterest of Code. It works really well and seems super useful. She has created extensions for Chrome…

I think Super Follow and Communities both make total sense for Twitter. They need to make money on things other than ads.

Skittish
Andy Baio: Today, I’m announcing Skittish, a playful virtual space for online events. Skittish brings people together into a game-like interactive 3D environment that’s designed from the ground up for socially-driven events, big and small.

Link priority
I have linked to what must be millions of things. I share a lot of links from here on my blog. I have linked to hundreds of artists from The Watercolor Gallery. And on social media I have linked to and retweeted countless times. I take linking very seriously. I have a sort of link…

Any Distance
Luke Beard: I was frustrated that there was no simple and beautiful way to share a run that was story first, looked great, and was photo-focused. I was thinking about it like “Unfold for running” at the time. Try the app. The results are really cool.

Mitch’s typical day
Mitch, in his typical day post, regarding his 6:15am Twitter habit: This probably isn’t a great morning habit but four years of endless crises have pretty much drilled into me to take a glance at what’s going on in the world as soon as my eyes are open. Break the habit Mitch! Take drastic measures…

Uninstalling Twitter has been a boon to my productivity. It has also already impacted my ability to focus. I started a book!

Dave Rupert’s typical day
Dave Rupert: Also, in a week or so I’ll be in my new backyard office workspace. This will hopefully shift my productivity windows a bit and enforce a proper lunch routine where I leave the physical office to eat in the main house. The distance will also probably temper late night gaming. I see that…

I’m releasing some code projects
When I first started hacking away at a computer (sometime just after the first Jurassic Park film was released in theaters), and ultimately hacking away on the web, people would release small projects for others to use. Single-use scripts, small applications, design files for a specific niche, and proofs-of-concept that you could download and use…

Om Malik compares the iPhone to the Kodak Brownie
Om Malik: Prior to the Brownie, a photo trip to capture a far-flung environment was an expedition that often involved porters, mules, and explosions. The adventurous photographer would need to carry heavy gear, lots of toxic chemicals, and the patience to deal with an inexact process. Contrast that with the Brownie: a box measuring roughly…

Rob Weychert’s typical day
Rob Weychart, tagged by Dan Mall, whom I tagged: I keep my personal and professional web browsing segregated to different browsers, and I use a plugin to block Twitter, news, and other productivity draining sites during work hours. I used to do something similar. I think I had an app that blocked blacklisted URLs. But…

My typical day
Here is a general overview of a typical day for me. Routine makes me happy but it also lends to my productivity. The more each day is the same the more I can accomplish. I’m sharing it because I would like to see other people post their typical days – as mundane as they may…

Shift Nudge
Matt D. Smith (@mds), explains what Shift Nudge is: Shift Nudge is the systematic process to learn the visual skills of interface design, even if you don’t have a design background. Perfect for those wanting to enter or advance in the field. Let’s say you’re sitting there reading this and you’re a coder that wishes…

Chrome is bad
From Loren Brichter comes Chrome is bad: So it turns out that Google Chrome was making everything on my computer slow even when it wasn’t running, because it installs something called Keystone which is basically malware. I made a website because this shouldn’t happen. I’m currently using Safari every single day. It is lightning fast…

Should I update to Big Sur 11.1?
In early November I wrote that I’d be delaying my update to Big Sur. Specifically, I wrote: I’ll be waiting for at least two releases before I update. Well, 11.1 came out today. Depending on how you count, it is sort of the third release of Big Sur. There was 11.0, 11.0.1, and now 11.1.…

The story of the Studebaker darkroom print
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you may have seen that I was in the darkroom this weekend. In March 2020, I purchased this Ansco Speedex from a local hip shop On&On. Around that same time a family member gifted me some expired Kodak Tri-X that he’s had frozen since 1982. A few…

What I saw somewhat recently #72: December 3, 2020
I haven’t made one of these lists in a little while, opting instead to publishing far more status updates to my site that include links. I go back and forth in my head all the time which I prefer.

Using Spotlight and Shortcuts to create daily notes in Simplenote
While trialing Obsidian I became fond of a core plugin it had called Daily notes. Activating the plugin adds a button in the interface that creates a new note with a name based on today’s date. It makes keeping a daily log extremely easy. Since I primarily use Simplenote I wanted the same thing on…
