I just thought about Adobe ImageReady for the first time in decades. Was trying to remember what we used to make animated gif back in the day. Took a few minutes of googling to come up with the name. It's surprising how quickly things disappear from your brain. #adobe #gif #dotcombubble

Why is it so hard to find bare hard drives lately? I need a 10TB Seagate drive for my Synology. The price is higher than it was 5 years ago and most of the sellers on Amazon and Newegg are shady as hell. Even the Seagate site is mostly sold out. What am I missing? #nas #synology #seagate

The lead singer of the 80's band DeBarge is named El DeBarge. When I was a kid l used to think, "He calls himself 'THE' DeBarge?
What an arrogant ass!"
Turns out El is short for Eldra.
This is a reminder to check your preconceptions before you wreck yourself.

I’m sick. Both physically (bit of a cold/cough/bronchitis thing going on), and metaphorically from having to post things I want to say in 23 places. Trying out using micro.blog to do a lot of this for me.
Here’s my portrait of Jim Collins, yesterday’s 365 portraits. Need subjects, apply within.

I gave a talk to the Park West Camera Club via Zoom last week and they recorded it. So if you'd like to hear me talk about the portraits I've taken in the last few years, here's your chance!

For this new daily series I’ve given myself limitations that I hoped would lead to creativity. Landscape orientation, available light only. Global edits except for a bit of dodge and burn. But so far they’re just frustrating me. Frustration comes before innovation, right?
