The longer I’m on Micro.blog, the more I appreciate the philosophy and the execution and the happier I am with how well everything works.
Photography is hard. The camera doesn’t see how I see and certainly doesn’t show what I’m thinking or feeling—even though images can be powerfully expressive. I don’t think it’s an issue with the tools. I have a lot to learn.

Pruning my email inbox, I’m made aware again and again of how overuse of buzzwords and phrases really bothers me. It’s my special personal problem, I know.

Alex: Wherever you are, I owe you an apology. I’m 55 with a customized OLED Nintendo Switch. I’m sorry I laughed. At that point in my life I didn’t get it, and I was a judgemental asshole. I’m super excited for the Switch release of Hogwarts Legacy. I’m still low key an asshole.
Feeling sorry for myself, today.

A very Happy Halloween to all those who celebrate with Tricks and Treats.
