Speaking of fatigue, I’m wondering if maybe this is all a symptom of some kind of overarching “Digital Fatigue”. None of my digital output is adding up to anything. It all feels so fungible and intangible and ephemeral. I may need to withdraw into the real world for a while.
When I was a kid I used to hide under the covers with a flashlight so I could keep reading after my bedtime. Now, I can’t read for 15 minutes without falling asleep. I don’t think it’s a focus problem, I think it’s a “getting old” problem.
I’ve been dragging my feet about pulling weeds behind the house. Good thing, because it turns out they’re not weeds after all; they’re deer food.
This is what happens when I run out of ideas.

I learned about rx structured notation in Emacs by seeing it mentioned in Denote’s release notes. Means my dblock queries can look something like this:
#+begin: denote-links :regexp (and "_project" "_wip") :missing-only t
One more place I can avoid writing incorrect regular expressions. #emacs
Here’s a slide of my dad at the Acropolis in 1963. He has the place to himself. I wish I could have traveled back then.
Testing the new not-quite-makeshift basement studio. I need a stylist and also the button in Photoshop for “AI: Remove bags under eyes” but other than that I think it’ll work. One light camera right. Window light to left. Digital.
I’ve taken over the spare bedroom. It’s too small for a “studio” and it’s definitely too small for a studio /and/ a darkroom, but I’m going to try squeezing them both in anyway.
Using the Light Phone today because I guess I hate myself?
Mmmm, fresh chemicals.

Have I mentioned lately how much fun TiddlyWiki is? It’s so much fun. This would be enough on its own, but good lord it’s also crazy powerful. It’s right up there with Emacs and Tinderbox on the fun/powerful scale.

I waste a lot of film taking photos of movies playing on my TV. I still get a kick out of it.
Still excites me every time.
The Snoopy face is adorable and the best thing about watchOS 10.
I’ll be withdrawing from social media, for a while, anyway. Posts will continue, but only on baty.net. I may decide to post links here, but I recommend using your favorite RSS reader instead. Comments/replies via email are encouraged.
Backstage at “Everything Everywhere All at Once”? 😆
Aaah, film photography.
Remember when we could smoke in restaurants?
