Asides
-
It saddens me when I find a great personal blog that has been abandoned only to find that the person has moved all their publishing onto a social media platform. Go back to your blog! Syndicate your posts!
-
A garden is the best anxiety med.
-
Developing a few rolls of color and black and white film in the darkroom. Good way to spend a rainy day.
-
I am “I was going to make a TikTok video but couldn’t figure out how” years old.
-
Stupid tagline ideas:
-
I have written code that has saved my employer thousands of human hours and countless dollars. I wasn’t hired as a programmer. You don’t have to be a programmer to write code. Everyone should consider learning to code.
-
Yesterday.

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.

RSS.

🔙🟩 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.
-
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.
-
A sleeping porcupine.
-
Learning back button focus. 🤯
-
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.
-
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.
-
My next live stream and YouTube video will be on my culm dunes photo series. Should be fun.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Ice skating commit log.
-
Noah hates printers too.
-
Discord and Slack are yet another silo. By all means have chats, but bring some of the content out to your blog!
-
Printers are terrible.
-
This weekend I cooked a smoked barbecue dinner, painted, read, worked in the darkroom, shopped w/ Eliza, got in the hot tub, ice skated, etc. Guess what I didn’t do? Look at any social media. Over 60 days now. Feels good.
-
🔒 SSL is back on cdevroe.com – I put that off way too long.
-
Scripted a quick security cam process on the Ubuntu laptop for outdoor cameras I plan to setup. Takes a photo every few seconds from multiple cameras. Now to find some POE IP cameras.
-
Both Cypress and Red Oak are now available as Micro.blog plugins. I’m planning on updating both to work with WordPress 5.9’s new site editing feature in the near future.
-
I’m still experimenting with Ubuntu via a virtual machine. Unlike macOS, core OS updates are very quick to install. It is refreshing. I think I’m ready to install it on an old laptop and, maybe, use it for a week for fun.
-
Pocket Casts must have had a bad sync because all of my old subscriptions just popped back up. NO. GET OUT OF HERE POCKET CASTS!

Photos for Mac tip: To delete auto-generated date folders in the source list drag them all into each other until they are all in one folder then delete that folder.
