I've been moving posts from the old blog on Wordpress to the new one running on SNAPSMACK. I forgot I would hit this one, which was devastating. I think I am done for the day. Two and a half years and it won't goddamn stop hurting. #mourning

The things you find in the back quarter. #photography #vintagecar #abandonedcar #plymouth #valiant #ruraldecay

Waiting for @eddieapoc.bsky.social to suggest the inaugural roll of #film for it. #photography #filmphotography #reto #camera

Wearing red in today's stack in recognition of the CFB Wainwright tragedy here in #Alberta #Canada #Bohemian #bracelets #Bohemianbracelets #cfbwainwright #redforwainwright

This is a 1958 #Chevrolet Viking 40. It is a former milk truck. It has the famous inline six. It goes, but not sure if it stops. It's now mine. I think it will make a sexy retro camper after a LOT of work. #vintagerv #vintagecamper #vintagetruck #cantbelieveididthis

Can't afford real Polaroids right now; it's been a tough year. If anyone can handle fake ones, got a site full right here: fauxlaroid.fyi Sorry folks, best I can do. #polaroidweek

PHP patches applied and servers as secure as they can be at the moment. Thank heavens for following security listserves. #php #vulnerability #zeroday

Got both my #covid and #flu #vaccinations yesterday. I am crashing today as usual. The worst part is that the nurse gave me a kitty and puppy band-aid for the injection site when she also had the more desirable #Spider-Man bandages. #Alberta #publichealthcare is a right mess.

He's incorrigible. #cat #Bohemian #bracelet #Bohemianbracelet #catsofbluesky

Thanksgiving weekend photo dump. I also managed to buy a truck that gets worse mileage than a RAM 3500 with a 6.7L Cummins Turbo HO. That takes some doing. Deets forthcoming.

I love seeing the number of people who are making Adobe alternatives and giving them away. #adobe #photoshop

This morning's #Bohemian #bracelets for @thatnoahgrey.bsky.social and @hudsonmill.com. #Pride #everyonecounts

Sooooo close to finally locking in the final design for my main #photoblog. That and I've had to revamp the #AI assist for the SMACKPRESS migration tool about 3x this past week so it handles image MOSAICS more elegantly. #photoblogging #photoblogging #vibecoding.

Well, this is the last berry/bird image from the tree next to my deck. It is officially 100% picked clean. The larger tree at the back of the yard is untouched. I don't know why, but the #birds will not eat its #berries even though they look the same to me. #photography #birding

The #robins have stripped most of the tree. Very few #berries are left and they are in the corner closest to our deck and the cat that stares intently out the window at them. They're not happy about it. #photography #fall #mountainash #birds #birding

Layers of mountain ridges fading into the haze at Chinook Pass, WA. I like how the farther ridges become softer and bluer, creating a strong sense of depth. #LandscapePhotography #PacificCrestTrail #MountainPhotography

My October challenge to everyone: Build yourself a completely ridiculous Website at Neocities or wherever, just NOT on social media. Share it. Let's bring back the #indieweb.

#abreferendum #voting #mailinballots are now in the post. Voted #notothenine and also told Jeff Rath to go eat shit on question ten.

Was honoured to do volunteer photography at a #truthandreconciliation event last night. The Jingle and Chicken dancers were my favourites. Good people and good words. #photography #firstnations #indigenousculture

That time in 2019 when I wrecked a dress in the Pacific Ocean while doing this photo shoot in Tofino with Jeff and it was totally worth it.

This summer was a bit of a downer. Didn't make it out to the mountains once. I got this shot back in May when my wife was speaking on AI at a conference in #Banff. #photography #rockies #rockymountains

Image captured from about 1 km away. Drone was 1 m above surface of pond and I got it close enough to the fountain that the lens got a few dots of spray, but no damage to the aircraft. #photography #strathmore #alberta #kinsmenlake #foundtain #fall #dji #mini3 #dronephotography

Living in this province (#Alberta, Canada) grinds on me more every day. Never thought I would see the amount of open #racism I do now. Trying to figure out how to move to Manitoba.

Sunsets are one of my favorite things. They are a beautiful visual reminder that the day is resetting and so can you. #Canon #Photography #ECK #Scape

A warm #fall evening at the #playground. #photography #kids #playing

Generative fill using Gemini's free tier now up and running. Used it all day without hitting the limit. Now getting for free what both Adobe and Canva charge for as a feature. #photoshop #canva #affinity #photoediting #photoeditor #photography

It would be unfair of me to deny @thatnoahgrey.bsky.social an opportunity to say I need a "domain intervention", so... #photoblogs #photoblogging #iwenthere #porkbunismyvibe

That moment when you realize the security system you built into your software works much better than you want it to, sometimes. Fkkkkk. #photoblog #photoblogging #software #security #vibecoding

And now for something completely different. Ever been to a photoblog where every photo is its own puzzle game? Because I have that. theschoolofhardnocks.ca Click on a little moving tile in the gutter and have fun. Let me know if you find bugs, please. #photography #photoblog #15puzzle #puzzles

"New can day" is Aristaeus' favourite day. #catsofblusky

The $29 #lug nut extractor set (better than the $75 one at #canadiantire) arrived from #amazoncanada today and I got the ruined lug off. Raining too hard to do the #brakes today, but at least my wife can get to work tomorrow and I'll change disc and pads tomorrow night. #carrepair #autorepair

A small bunch of juvenile cedar waxwings and some robins were having a buffet in our mountain ash trees this afternoon. #photography #cedarwaxwing #robin #birding

Hey @mgrasdal.bsky.social: Old habits die hard.

Today I stood up Pixelfed, Mastodon, and GoToSocial servers for interoperability testing. Also another "fedistructure" instance of SNAPSMACK to abuse them with. Have an agentic AI thrashing the sh__ out of them as I'm typing this. Getting the interop errors nailed down. #pixelfed #fediverse

So, I have a new pickup line... #photography #dadjoke #walmart #imgoingtohell

This week is getting on my tits. That is all. #whiner

GoogleMaps has now been replaced on my phone and in Android Auto with #OrganicMaps. Note to @opensource.google , there's a cost for sucking up to #pedophiles. #lakeontario

The images I cherish most are the ones that aren't obvious when you walk past the scene, but are when you can't walk past the photograph.

SNAP SLAPPER, the free photo organizer and editor in SNAPSMACK's desktop suite is now feature rich and stable enough that it is my primary photo editor. It also integrates nicely into the backup tool, also free. It's all free. #photography #photoeditor #FOSS #free #photoediting

#photofi is a go. First prompt is #belonging - you decide what that means to you and use your camera to express it. Submit when the posting window opens next week. #fediverse only, post from #mastodon #pixelfed #vernissage or your app of choice. Join for free at fediverse.info #photography

Curb appeal. #photography #mundane #parkedcars

Ha. My project is finally starting to show up in AI training data. Did not expect the description of it to be this accurate... #OMFG #imdyinghere #lol #photoblog #photoblogging #pisstake
