Thinking about getting really into current-era, Season 32 Simpsons

And why one would even ride gravel in the first place https://g-tedproductions.blogspot.com/2021/02/bog-series-why-ride-gravel.html

This really captures what I liked about that stupid 350 mile gravel race I attempted a while back. http://g-tedproductions.blogspot.com/2021/02/trans-iowa-stories-look-at-scene-in-2015.html

I feel like I'm lying with my avi, I've had it for over 10 years now. Any recommendations on folks taking commissions for social media avis?

I feel like this is somehow my fault for posting this, what have I done

I had no idea there was video of the Alive 2007 show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udvYSd2TIkg

@kitty I presume a billion people have already sent this to you, let me be the 1,000,000,001st https://youtu.be/TDNP-SWgn2w

Hope the guy who built Browserify returns and starts publishing a newsletter

Blessed to have access to advanced web tech like Photopea so I can create my art from anywhere

Just heard the president has pardoned Milkshake Duck

2FA folks, I've been wanting to move my one-time passcodes off Google Authenticator for a while. What's good these days?

Best part of licensing pets online in Omaha is that it uses this loading spinner. Worth the $5 "convenience fee"

You know what barn this is pointing at.

Wrote up the process I use to green-screen my dumb self into Zwift bike races: https://steele.blue/zwift-greenscreen/

Seeing an uptick in interest in distributed/self-hosted projects, mainly from asshats who've been kicked off Twitter et al.

I don't like the idea of a few companies controlling who access the discourse, but I really don't want to lose the fediverse as "where shitheads hang out to circumvent terms of service". This sucks.

Sold my 35mm SLR yesterday. It was bittersweet, I love shooting with it, hanging out in my high school's darkroom developing prints, even the smell of the stop bath and fixer.

I had auspices to build a home darkroom, but it never panned out, and I have too many hobbies as is.

The old adage is true: use up all your 35mm reels before going digital, because you'll never take another film shot again.

Related, I'm fully out of the Nikon ecosystem and am rocking a new Sony mirrorless. Gonna be fun!

Anyone have good experiences with photo booths at conferences, weddings, etc?

I'm looking to put one together for our (delayed) wedding reception, and starting to collect ideas and a parts list.

Any ideas you found particularly neat? I'm thinking of integrating with Twilio to send folks their photos via MMS, for example.

@nicknisi you had some fun things with your booth; how'd you handle lighting? Did you use any extra flashes, light boxes?
