AND THEN SHE STOLE MY LUNCH.

She boot-scooted her poopy butt across two floors of the house, but she's still pretty dang cute.

One of these cameras is not a Nikon.

Someone did a massive fan edit of Babylon 5, recutting it into a series of movies. It's a fantastic piece of fan creativity and love of the original work

People are mocking them for daring to do this. I said those being cruel should be ashamed of themselves. This is one of the responses I got.

I see your Auburn loyalties at play, Tim Cook. #iphone17

Behold. My household Miku.

The stages of my cat forgiving me after being gone for 9 days:

1. Staaaaare
2. Ignore
3. Shove her butt into the webcam while on a work call
4. Yell at me
5. Acceptance

Hey #dragoncon folks! Some wonderful person bought all of this merch from the Crow Time table and then accidentally left it at a booth near us. It was turned into Lost and Found then over to me. If you are missing your swag and can verify the purchase, please DM me so I can mail it back to you!

I have obtained a household Miku.

Third day of Dragon Con! Come visit the Atlanta outpost of Kevin’s Gud Roks at booth 500 in Artist Alley and adopt him or one of his brethren from me and @mishacak3s.bsky.social! We also have more @secondlina.com illustration plates as well.

Day 2 of Dragon Con! @mishacak3s.bsky.social and I are at table 500 in Artist Alley, and we have more illustrated bookplates from @secondlina.com! Please stop and see us and adopt a crow!

Day 1 of Dragon Con! @mishacak3s.bsky.social and I are at table 500 with limited edition bookplates from @secondlina.com!

Yup. I have some raven photos but they aren’t very good. But I loved how this photo turned out.

Made it to Georgia safely! Seeing my dad for a few days before Dragon Con.

I decided to keep the 105mm lens. The cost, way below even used sites, could not be beat. I will eventually get the 85mm.

I wandered through Messiah University, testing it out. I didn't venture far because ... bees. Lots of bees. Too many bees, as you can see when you zoom in on the first picture.

He’s normally not a lap cat. But tonight, he crawled on top of me and began purring like crazy.

I live on this couch now.

I mean, the detail!
August 6, 2025 at 1:19 AM
But then look at this macro on the 105.
August 6, 2025 at 1:18 AM
I’m testing an 85mm and a 105mm lens and I am still stuck. The 85 is such a beautiful portrait lens. The 105 does decent portraits but the macros are just outstanding.

First photo is Whisper at 85mm then at 105mm. Same settings applied.

I feel like I caught him being orange.

No cheating! Post your lock screen.

Update: I was banished to the couch as a result, but Selina is being so cute that I’m not even mad about it.
July 20, 2025 at 11:28 PM
Whisper has accepted the new recliner. I was concerned last night when he was very upset that it existed to begin with. Our orange boy doesn’t like change.

Adding to both my yarn collection and my silent film/Golden era of Hollywood collection thanks to a new shop in Hershey that sells both yarn and books.

That top book is on the Orson Welles “War of the Worlds” fake news scandal. I am so excited to read it.

Selina keeps getting in the way, so of course I keep making her the subject of my videos.
