I dislike having to boil myself down into a pithy description. Here are some likes, I guess: cats, photography, art, gadgets, fountain pens, stationery, video games, the old web (blogs!), science fiction, books, tech history

Shitty Camera Challenge, Day 35: This evening we were able to have some friendly cat time during our walk. The friendly kitties aren't always around to our disappointment, but they were tonight. 😺 I didn't get a picture of the black kitty we saw first, but I got a

✒️ I had A LOT to say about that whole "10 fountain pens" thing... https://cjs-wunderkammer.ghost.io/if-i-could-only-keep-10-fountain-pens/ #FountainPens #LongRead
If I Could Only Keep 10 Fountain Pens
The thought experiment of limiting one's fountain pen collection to 10 pens has been weaving through the fountain pen internets for a little while now. At first I thought I'd just let the whole trend blow over because sometimes I randomly and stubbornly rebel against doing something that

Same for me! I recently saw that Cat Mail Co is a first-person view game and was really disappointed. I'll try it on my Steam deck to see if the smaller screen helps, but I'm not sure it will. Add the 3rd-person view option, please and thank you.

around brexit, when americans were struggling with the difference between britain / uk / british isles, someone on twitter suggested to me (somewhat tongue in cheek) that "the british isles" is unacceptable and that the politically correct term is "these isles"; or "those isles" if you're american

💻 If you're on a Mac, there are a few utility apps on deep discount this week. https://appaddict.app/post/textsniper-macpilot-unite-pro-pdf-squeezer-and-video-paw-on-sale-from-their-devs-until-friday-for-75-off
TextSniper, MacPilot, Unite Pro, PDF Squeezer and Video Paw on Sale from Their Devs Until Friday for %75+ Off
You have a chance this week (ending August 7th) to pick up five apps at the lowest prices I've seen them listed for. Sale Details. Reviews of Apps I Have Personally Tested• TextSniper - Better Than Native OCR | AppAddict ($7.99- On Sale For $1.99 -%75) Hit a hotkey, drag a box over anything on screen (a locked PDF, a video frame, a screenshot someone sent you), and the text lands on your clipboard; it also reads QR codes and barcodes and can speak the captured text aloud. OCR runs entirely on your Mac. textsniper.app, App Store • MacPilot Tweaks Some Hard to Get To Settings in macOS ($29.95 -On Sale For $3.50 -88%) - A GUI over roughly 1,200 hidden macOS settings and defaults write tweaks: show hidden Finder files, kill the startup chime, add Dock spacers, change the screenshot format, run maintenance scripts, all without opening Terminal. koingosw.com • Unite 5 - Site Specific Browser ($39.99 - On Sale For $5.00 -%87 off) Turns any website into an isolated, native Mac app that runs as a normal window, a menu bar dropdown, or a sidebar; you get per-app cookies, custom icons, ad blocking, userscripts and CSS, keyboard shortcut remapping, and link routing between apps. Extras like Dock badges, Google/Outlook meeting alerts, and a floating AI companion overlay are the part Safari's "Add to Dock" can't touch. bzgapps.com/unite The two I haven't tried (yet) are:VideoPaw ($69.99 - On Sale For $6.50 -%91) - Cisdem's all-in-one media utility: batch convert video and audio across 600+ formats, download clips from supported sites, rip DVD and Blu-ray, compress files, and record screen/webcam with live annotation. Basic editing (trim, crop, merge, watermark, subtitles) is included, so it replaces three or four single-purpose downloads. PDF Squeezer ($19.99 - On Sale For $3.98 -%80)-- Drag in a bloated PDF and it shrinks by recompressing images and stripping unused fonts and resources, with a side-by-side preview so you can see what quality you're giving up. Batch processing, saved presets, and hooks into Finder, Automator, Shortcuts, and the command line make it a good buy IMHO.

😒 Hello, Science. If you could figure out how to a) make me not attract mosquitos within seconds of going outside, and more importantly, b) stop my body from having ridiculous overreactions to bugbites, that would be much appreciated.

🕹️ I rediscovered the simple fun of emulated games on my phone. I will try to break them out more when I feel like chilling out. The lack of irritating mobile gaming engagement tactics is refreshing.
I'm not familiar with this song. But when I read the criticism of the logic of the lyrics, it made me wonder if people would think Beck's "Loser" is somehow AI-generated today? Or any other songs from the era with nonsensical lyrics? 🤔

As Bowie would say to Mark Goodman two years later: “.. Having watched MTV over the past few months, .. I’m just floored that by the fact that there’s so few black artists featured on it. Why IS that?”

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
