For #throwbackthursday I remember my interview with #Sega of America's former CEO, Tom Kalinske, in which he revealed for the first time publicly that Sega had considered releasing both 3DO and what became the #Nintendo Virtual Boy, and passed on both.

For #throwbackthursday how about when I picked up an Ouya for $20 expecting it to be a paperweight because the service was long gone, only to discover fan-run archival servers keeping it going!

Honey Mushrooms (2023)

Maybe a slightly uncomfortable image, but I see these #Mushrooms everywhere in our local #Forests and so I really wanted to try capturing the way they stack in these closely packed bunches. Due to the recent rains this bunch didn't have the usual dirt and leaf debris leaving them relatively pristine. The added moisture from the recent rainfall also gave them a special moistness.

#Atlanta #ThrowbackThursday

Way back when, I worked at a bookshop in a funky outdoor mall called Rio in Atlanta. The mall was considered architecturally unique back then, all modern and bright colors, and in the courtyard there was a giant white metal orb that was attended by a legion of gold frogs, all facing toward it.

On the mall's opening night, they gave away lil frogs, and I recently found mine. I wonder if it's still in contact with the spirit of the Mother Orb.
