Today is Rodney Mullen's birthday. There is no one like him. He has had such a profound impact on skateboarding at my life. Here's a recent video that will give you a glimpse. https://youtu.be/5K4S5Bi1KEA
I love Brian Eno’s framing of genius versus what he calls “scenius”. What a lovely term! h/t @adam- on Warpcast
It seems likee when I use a product or service of any kind there comes a point where things just stop working as well as they used to. Then comes the notification about the price increase.
Consumers have subscription fatigue. Convenience wins out, often at the expense of the experience, privacy…
Feels like PKM is still such a nerdy rabbit hole, but it seems to be crossing over into mainstream awareness thanks to people like Tiago. Also been great to see the community around Obsidian. I’ve been enjoying the founder’s writing.
These were really solid cameras back in the early aughts. Found it in mint condition in a drawer. Battery took a charge and seems to be holding it. Gonna shoot some photos on it today.
I have always loved Steve Albini, mostly for his music, but also because he's always struck me as smarter than many others. I've always appreciated his ethos. Call it what you will. This was a great read. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/15/the-evolution-of-steve-albini-if-the-dumbest-person-is-on-your-side-youre-on-the-wrong-side
Just before we were leaving for camp this morning, the boy accidentally knocked his loose tooth out. Quite the bloody mess AND I dropped the tooth in the sink and it went down the drain! Thank goodness for traps! And OMG wash your sink traps! 🤢
I had a wisdom tooth removed under general anesthesia on Monday. I have no idea if it’s healing well, but I also have nothing with which to compare it. I reluctantly started antibiotics last night. I generally don’t take them unless there’s a good reason. Research suggests it may reduce the risk of infection and dry socket, so here’s hoping.
Finally got around to reconfiguring micro.blog after consolidating everything on bradbarrish.com and moving the main blog to WordPress.com. I had been hosting with Dreamhost for nearly 20 years, which is insane. Trying to be more focused with my online publishing.
What is the easiest way to start migrating an extensive iPhoto library to pixelfed?
