Unintended Consequences

I hear the phrase "Don't Care. Didn't Ask." quite a bit and only recently realized it hits harder than expected.

Hot 

After three years of owning this MacBook Pro with the  M1 silicon chip, I got to hear the internal fan for the very first time. This machine can take quite a lot, but while I was importing images into…

I’ve Lost The Way

I can’t tell you how many times in the past ten years that there was a desire to build and maintain a map as a photo gallery of places I have been and things I have seen in all of…
