Learning that those cute fjallraven backpacks are made of Juche fiber

Exciting sighting yesterday. A harbor seal poking its head out of the water to look at a bald eagle on a rock. Most people at the lookout seemed focused on the intense waves on the other side of the sandbar and sea wall.

Spotted at the mouth of the Russian River / Jenner Beach (Sonoma county, California) at about 10:15 AM

The original Big Data: an unopened box of Nashua 8" disks I found while helping to clear out my late friend Mike's house

Less Rumble in the Jungle
More Scramble in the Bramble

Looking out at the Pacific Ocean from Highway 1 in Sonoma today, I can easily see why horses running through water were associated waves and Neptune.

And it's such an angry herd of horses this weekend

Every time I look at news this week it's some different big thing that should be a whole week's drama.

Case in point. Tanker hitting and sinking an occupied cruise ship (no one died, the cruise ship had just docked to start disembarkation)

Wanted to make my own noise function using basic trig (fBm). I think it looks alright.

(Edit: Had the revelation just now that not every animation needs to be 16:9!)

Someone's perked up at the idea of pizza

A California house for $53,000? Roughly ¹⁄₁₂ nearby property prices. What's the catch?

Well, catches:

A few of the Max Ernst collages to feature in his and poet Paul Éluard’s Les Malheurs des immortels (1922), a proto-Surrealist experiment par excellence. See the post on our website: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/eluard-ernst-les-malheurs-des-immortels/

Look, it's a vanity plate

November, 2008, in-camera diptych with a half-frame Mercury Universal II camera, taken in the town of Cannon Beach, Oregon. I was in the area for Thanksgiving that year.

The Mercury II remains my favorite 35mm camera

I have an Android phone and in front of me someone else's Samsung TV. Both are on the same wifi network. When I start screen casting, everything works for a couple of minutes, and then the video freezes while sound keeps going. Stopping and reconnecting gets me a couple of more minutes.

I very rarely screen cast, and I don't know what else to try. I have never used this TV before today and can't tell you much about it. Seems pretty new. My phone is not as new (Unihertz Jelly Max w/ Android 14)

One of my kids found Malta Goya in a California shop and bought me a bottle. Sweeter than I recalled, but that same malt flavor I expected

A flashback to 2019/20 when the Kaiser Chiefs very kindly asked to paint something for their album ‘Duck.’

Getting ready to screenshot like it's 1983.

The Internet has been around for over a generation now, are there any good ghost stories about internet ghosts?

The closest I can think of is 'Candle Cove', but I don't want a creepy-pasta. I want a folk tale about a young person who died while waiting for their true love and if you log onto the right server on a moonless night you can still see them post.

Does that sort of thing exist yet?

"Update your software, OS, and firmware constantly!"

"Oh, also BTW every time you patch your stuff, we're going to make it worse."

It’s called commitment to a bit, The
New Yorker.
