Back when floppies were new we kept them safe in somewhat terrible plastic bins.Now that micro SD cards can hold thousands of times more data they're what we use and what we lose! Because, smol.So, here's a little throwback to the floppy organizer but sized for micro SD cards. I used double-sided tape to stick mine to the top of my PC monitor because I'd lose it on my messy desk.Note: does not include micro CD cards

Top post on Mastodon: If you spend 72 hours reprogramming the 1982 Commodore 64 computer using a long-forgotten latin coding language, you can make it display a pop-up window that you would typically only see on the original 1984 Apple Macintosh. Go ahead and try it for yourself.
Rufous-booted Racket-tail
Tiny cloud forest hummingbird found in the eastern Andes from central Peru to Bolivia. Male’s distinctive tail feathers cross each other and splay out in a V shape. Female can be identified by her small size, buffy thighs and vent, spotted underparts, and white whisker. May overlap with Peruvian Racket-tail in central Peru; male Rufous-booted has a twisted (not straight) tail. Females of the two species look almost identical. Typically feeds at small flowers at forest edge or in clearings, and sometimes visits feeders.

Blue Coua
Big, dark, long-tailed tree-dwelling bird. Like other couas, inquisitive and restless. Generally prefers to jump or flop through the trees, but sometimes makes long gliding flights with occasional explosive wingbeats. Found in eastern and northern rainforest. Most common call is a short, explosive “brr-dd-t”. Also gives a long, descending series of mournful “kwa” notes. Larger than Red-fronted and Red-breasted Couas, lacking red coloration, and is usually found high in trees, unlike those understory-dwelling species.

Purple-chested Hummingbird
Emerald green hummingbird found in humid forest in lowlands and foothills of northwestern Ecuador and western Colombia. Note, especially, the white vent. Male has bluish-purple patch on breast, which is reduced or lacking in female. Both sexes quite similar to Blue-chested hummingbird but can be distinguished by the contrasting white vent. Usually encountered at forest edge or in clearings, and visits feeders in a few places.
