Happy 24 Hours Le Mans day! Here are some film shots from January of the Rolex 24 in Daytona that I just got back this week. #photography #24hlemans
I decided to take a page out of John Baldessari’s playbook and burn all my artwork from undergrad. It’s been sitting in a closet for 20+ years doing no one any favors. #art
A fun comparison between digital and film. Digital shot on a Fuji X-T1 @ 50mm, film is Phoenix Film shot on an old Canon point and shoot. #photography
Finally, first rain in three weeks
Did wayward boat make it over to the Fediverse?

Every week or so someone throws their energy gel packets at the base of my mailbox.

I’m guessing it’s a jogger or cyclist. Obviously they’ve made this a routine, a marker on their route, even. Often it’s more than one.

Trying to decide if I should set them out on display as an acknowledgment of some sort

Never in a million years would I have thought to look for a Mini PCIe FireWire adapter. Can't believe such a thing exists. #retrocomputing

Using FireWire on a Raspberry Pi

After learning Apple killed off FireWire (IEEE 1394) support in macOS 26 Tahoe, I started looking at alternatives for old FireWire equipment like hard drives, DV cameras, and A/V gear. I own an old Canon GL1 camera, with a 'DV' port. I could plug that into an old Mac (like the dual G4 MDD above) with FireWire—or even a modern Mac running macOS < 26, with some dongles—and transfer digital video footage between the camera and an application like Final Cut Pro.

Make YouTube Music Embeds look.. nice! (subjective opinion)

I did use GIMP recently for a more complex use case that required paths. It wasn't a bad experience once I learned the flow!

Honestly, the Photoshop UX has only gotten worse over the years. GIMP at least still allows keyboard commands for tools when first opening the program. PS now requires the user to click the mouse before using the keyboard to select a tool. Infuriating. /rant
