The Labyrinthal Thread

Previously, I wrote this: Think Multicursally. Act Unicursally. Okay kids, this is where it gets complicated and will require a lot of attention. What does that mean? There are some landmarks I can see clearly. The Library is knowledge. The…

Agentic AI

Today I am tasking ChatGPT Agents to sort, organize my Documents folder in the MacBook as a test, then report findings before executing any changes. This is called Agentic AI. Agentic AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can…

Lightroom. Again.

I know what you are thinking, and you're right. I've oscillated on using Adobe for years. Back and forth On/Off. Shut up. For years, I kept trying to get away from Adobe. The subscription annoyed me. Creative Cloud annoyed me.…

Ground Control Points

For years I have wandered, noticed the unusual, followed strange trails and wished I had written down what I found along the way. I can’t recover those lost opportunities but I can start leaving a trail from here. Today I…

Field Notes 001: Origin

Spent the evening performing archaeological excavations from my old notes. I started these journals almost exactly ten years ago on 2016-09-14. Inconsistent, but available for me to time travel backwards. Features include misadventures, shenanigans, hikery, fuckery and so much more…

My Multicursal Mind

For most of my life, I thought my mind worked in a straight line with one obvious direction. Lately I’m seeing a lot more options than I ever realized were there. My thinking feels more like a maze now, but…

iReader

My Kindle Paperwhite e-reader didn’t die. The hardware still worked. What failed was Amazon’s willingness to support it. When I discovered that my perfectly functional Kindle had reached the end of Amazon’s support, the solution offered to me was predictable:…

Exploring Is Never Boring

I just returned from a quick day trip to Louisiana full of exploration and re-inspired ideas. Only to return home, with the intention and energy disappearing. Maybe a good night's sleep on my own bed will restore the enthusiasm.

The Leica D-Lux

After twenty five years, I can finally say I am the proud owner of a Leica Camera. To be clear, I did not drop the retail price of $2000 on a newer version of my current model. I don't have…

The Clean Slate Protocol

I have a problem, and it lives on four different hard drives. For years my system for "backing up" has basically been: buy a new external drive when the old one fills up, dump a bunch of stuff on it,…

Downsizing

What set me off recently was a notification from Apple stating my Apple One subscription is going up again. This makes the third time in a year I think. For me it would be an extra $24 a year, which…

Cinephile

I have noted that as of late, of my increasing intake of foreign, independent, and/or classic films. Living in an international city and surrounded by neighbors from all over the world, or dating women from diverse cultures, or even perhaps…

Analog Collection and Curation

For reasons I cannot explain properly, I have added tenfold to my collection of paper books this past year. Here is a list of a few of these in book catalog from the Library page. I just realized the number…

The Return

I know what you are thinking- and you are right1. I cannot be trusted to stick with a decision on anything when it comes to my website. The previous post from a month ago was an intent to eventually shutter…

Enjoy The Silence

I used to have a desire to be heard, or read. From my twenties up to my forties I couldn’t get my voice out there loudly enough. Back when blogs became popular, I moved my loud, shitty opinions online and…
