I do computer stuff to keep scientists sciencing. Sometimes I take photos and video of stuff. Occasionally I think about stuff, mostly while cycling. Sometimes I remember to post stuff when I get home.

Monumental Marathon in Indy this morning, great weather—cool, partially sunny, calm—for some great racing and hopefully lots of sweet PRs! Happy to be sitting out this year.
Tons of photos and video to process, but will probably find the best shots of the day are from the Kodak Charmera anyways :-)

the hoary Lighthouse, distant, austere, in the midst; and on the right, as far as the eye could see, fading and falling, in soft low pleats, the green sand dunes with the wild flowing grasses on them, which always seemed to be running away into some moon country, uninhabited of men

Some beautiful colors out today (when the sun was willing to come out), but I find these 1-bit Charmera shots more interesting. 🤷

hey Indianapolis folks, with the looming SNAP disruption I'm looking for suggestions for how to best help people who will be going hungry around Indy. What orgs will be hit especially hard and need—and will be able to use—extra assistance the most?
