This blog is a place to put my thoughts, and a home for my hobbies that's a more final destination than sit...
Backing up photo assets independently and redundantly from iCloud and the iPhone camera roll is surprisingly annoying as I ranted about previously 1 . At some point recently, accessing your photos from icloud.com was updated. Previously, the only way to download a copy gave you a compressed JPEG file, with something like 60% compression, and a 6-8X downsize in resolution (I found this applies to…
My favorite recipes are all over. Screenshots, pdfs, bookmarked links, written note cards. Its a mess. But I do this because, well... And thats just to see two sentences of some basic ass anecdote about fresh is better than frozen and they learned this from their mom at 8 years old and blahblahblah. shut up. no one cares about your mom, just tell me how many fuckin cups of flour. And so using the…
Check it out the new page here . I also made an automagic currently reading tool, you can make your own using my post and github repo here . i mainly added a table of my past reads. i started actually tracking my reading sophomore year of college. i made a conscious choice to start seriously reading again.

Incidentally I wrote this before the carnival started this month but it fits perfectly. Lomography has several awesome filmstocks with alternative color palettes in their LomoChrome films. These are my favorite for shooting 35mm in color. Photo credits to Brian Lincoln and Clemens Maurer Fruchtzwerg respectively. These are LomoChrome Purple and LomoChrome Turquoise filmstocks. The explanations…

my recreational drug usage continue to evolve. Ive gotten into decaf specialty coffees. A decaf generally has 0.1-3% of the caffeine content of normal coffee, so its only gonna be around 1-5 mg versus my normal coffee, equivalent to a sip or two of the dew. to my surpise two of my favorite coffee shops carry decaf beans. a decaf capuccino is great for a late afternoon treat. still having my…
I've been working on my mental health a lot over the past year, and have really started to come around in the last 3 or 4 months. Part of this is from weekly sessions with my awesome therapist Caity and buckets of love and support from my wonderful wife M. Another part of this has been what I can only call a jumbled sampling of different psychiatric medications. Ill write about those lovely…
I updated my bookshelf page to grab my current reads from my storygraph account. It uses the unholy combo of an html script, with a github automated action. I found a (mostly broken) unofficial storygraph "api", but digging through the source its really an overly complicated html scraper that hasn't been updated to work with the sites current format, and so it returns a bunch of nulls. So I redid…
This a reply/add on to a post by Tala . I think analysis paralysis stems from the idea that if we examine our options from every possible angle, we will somehow select the optimal or best choice. That given enough time and energy the best option will become obvious. But this just isn't the case, almost always there is at least one good enough option that meets most of our criteria.
