It’s my greatest creative outlet, a dog with a camera.
(oops, look at who has been using WordPress for 20 years and still forgets to click “Publish”) For those with an eye for numbers and dates, January 1, 2024 has some math going- whether you are month/date/year or date/month/year, as Tristan Louis pointed out you have some fun progressive number addition January 1 also means […]
As we careen down the hill of inevitable slope to a machine generated future, it’s relieving to have small experiences that reveal humanness. Here’s one. In the world of Creative Common Licenses (which I am a BF, Big Fan), one of the least favorite things I see are nitpicking/haggling over license details, like they are […]
There’s more to the Fediverse than trying to rejig your foregone twitter experience into Mastodon, indeed it is a party of distributed platforms. Given my love of photos, I’ve been casually exploring Pixelfed, the platform for photo sharing. Not that I will ever tear away from my firm flickr love, but I was curious to […]
Look at the pup’s photo. Why so sad, Kay? This flickr photo of you I took in 2014 while visiting your human, Richard Elliot, at his home in Auckland, has just been added to the home grown collection of my flickr photos that have been reused elsewhere. Maybe it’s boasting or self vanity, but discovering […]
While there is plenty of academics undergarment wadding over AI generative text (and please stop referring to it all as ChatGPT), I was first interested and still in the generation of images (a year ago Craiyon was the leading edge, now it looks like a sad nub of burnt sienna). Get ready for everything to […]
Alas, the first three months of the year I kept to my goal/obsession to stay on form for daily flickr photo posting and daily #ds106 daily creates. Yes, I hit the mark for January, February, and March. Alas by April 30, 2023, day 120, my slippage is showing, with 118 daily flickr photos and 108 […]
Not that anyone is keeping score… well I am! For 2023 my double daily habits, the DS106 Daily Create and my Daily Flickr Photo routine have notched another perfect month, bringing both to 90 completions at the end of March, the 90th day of the year. This follows my streaks for both January and Feburary. Can this blistering […]
Against all common wisdom, I have been running an old operating system (10.14.6 Mojave) on my old MacBookPro (2103) to mainly use the photo management software Apple dropped in 2015 (Aperture). Yes, newer software is out there, and I have access to Lightroom via my Adobe plan I pay through the month for to get […]
Ain’t that llama a cutie? What is that smile about? Ah, it’s how this person (a.k.a..me) can stand the fact that someone is making money off of a photo I took and shared on the internets. Doesn’t a license protect me? Welcome to my unconventional corner of the Creative Commons tent, already explained in 2016: […]
Strap in (or hit eject) for a long blog ride. This has been one of those percolating drafts, meaning it has not progressed far from my head. But time is essencing. As there are a wave of steps to weave together, I am borrowing in all sense of honoring, not stealing, a section convention from […]
