A page from one of my grandfather's photo albums. He knew how to do it. I have 24 more albums yet to scan.

I've been hand-wringing myself into a frenzy over my Mastodon/Fediverse handle and instance and everything. I could just move to Bluesky and not think about it. Would I hate myself?

I get why people think on-camera flash photos can look a little too snapshot-ey, but I kind of dig it. Here's Lincoln waiting patiently for his lunch.

While re-reading “Digital Minimalism” by Cal Newport last night, I must’ve put the book down to check my phone at least a dozen times. I’m doing it wrong.

For 2025, rather than figuring out my best option for taking notes, I should instead just stop writing things down.

Just continue pretending I'm not here.

Speaking of vintage digital, it's my annual exercise-the-1Ds-from-2002 day. A friend gave me this one when he upgraded to the Mark II in 2004.

I've reached a point in my process of changing things where I'm sick of changing things and just want to go back to the most recent stable save point.

I don't need ANY of this!...
Just Mastodon and that's it!
And Bluesky...
Mastodon and Bluesky and that's all I need!

Big fan of Naxatras. They just posted a full concert and it's pretty great: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUJh...

I think I'll sign off for a while. Not due to moderation issues or any other real or imagined transgressions, but because I don't need another social network right now. Honestly, I don't need *any* social network right now.

Couldn't find my 45 adapter so I bought a handful of these yesterday at the record store.

This was on the last page of my high school algebra notebook.

There was a boat named the "Myassis Dragon" on the river near where we camped when I was young. It still makes me laugh because I'm still 12.

Thought I'd swing by here to get away from the "block Meta/don't block Meta" arguments going on over on Mastodon. Oh, and here's a photo of my dog that I made with the Hasselblad yesterday.
