Almost 10 years ago I fell into likely a vain pursuit of any shred of fact to support the contention that “humans process visual information 60,000 times faster than text.” And despite trying every approach I could conjure, including offering a cash prize, the trail ran cold back to 1982 (all the blogged efforts are […]
I’m old enough to remember when there was no such thing as email spam. For my first few web years I sprayed my work email address on every web page I created. But those days are gone. The blog spam floods of casinos and various body supplements trying to insert their links into comments has […]
This is how it’s gonna be. On Tuesday morning, I got really really tired, so tired I had to lay down. I am not a napper in any way. I may have sacked out 2 or 3 hours on the couch. I thought maybe it was from several up and down incidents the night before […]
I’m still quite on the toe of the learning curve with the DJI Mini 2 drone I got for a gift a few months back (thanks Andy Rush for the recommend). The video quality is stunning, and we are using it to get high and wide views of our acreage. My navigation needs practice though […]
I was a bit excited to push out my recent bookmarklet tool experiment. The reception was kind. I was hasty in the naming of it in github tying to google images because as alluded to, I realized I could make a new one for searching Openverse (the updated version of Creative Commons CC Search). I […]

Press 3 to have us create an old school browser bookmarklet…” Hmmm, someone pressed the 3 button. This is an outflow of the recent […]
Traditions and rituals are nothing without repetition. As in years before, a first task is a resetting of the daily photo project in flickr. This is something I have been at since 2008 (if you are doing the math, like an array, remember the first year is 0). I cite myself for the history, here […]
Ah the work of reclaiming is ongoing. I’ve not tended to much in 2021 to my pile of web bones, where I list my efforts to reclaim my external web sites that have been dumped by the hosts. In yesterday’s email, I got a notice from PBWorks that one of my old wikis was in […]
You might suspect this blog is solely about photos and images, and openness thereof. Maybe it is, as this post that has been tap tap tapping inside the head today follows (reversing the reverse blog chronology) of yesterday’s experiment with end-arounding Google Image search and the day before’s waxing on photo making. I’ve likely blabbed […]
