For me, the most interesting things happen far from the statistically averaged machine prediction zone. I can’t really explain how these marginalia bits of joy happen almost daily for me. I must be on a different internet than the one the social media choruses decry by the hour. Follow along for another trip down the […]
Now I am way head of last year, when my Daily Photo Habit disappeared in late April. I have gotten through the fifth month, getting to dangerously boisterous yelling of FIVE MONTHS IN, I CAN DO ANYTHING. Well I can be three days late in blogging it. Is anyone counting? The numbers are there in […]
