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 Lightroom from an external hard drive, I was also uploading other images to the photo archive site all while typing up some notes. Impressive.

Ever since voluntarily leaving my job one month ago I’ve done my best to keep busy but this is slowing down. I’m grateful to have some dedicated time to complete a few personal projects and work on a few more. But I am in a state of suspense right now.
I recall the Israelites wandering in the desert waiting to enter the promised land and can sympathize.
Purgatorio- part two of the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, written in the early bits of the 14th century, feels familiar as I may be taking slow steps to advance myself forward to Paradiso.
The Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe.
I understand these references are over-dramatic concerning my feelings, but who can deny their own thoughts of a personal situation? I am on the outside looking in. I can seek where I want to go and again, am in a state of suspension in arriving there.
With circumstances and situations in flux, I’ll just settle in and keep busy awaiting the trumpets to sound so we can march forward and into the Promised Land.
I took the new Ricoh GR out for a walk yesterday to see how it performs under harsh lighting conditions. The images are just as sharp and vibrant as expected. But ugh, the scenery and subject matter is still the same so not really chuffed about them.
I crave something new and interesting to capture. I’m done documenting Tulsa.

When you see two packs of expensive Polaroid film discounted, you pick them up every time. 2 for $12 instead of $36? Yep.
I have successfully switched my Apple ID to the current email address, signed out of most of my devices from old ID and logged in properly. There are some residual issues with the old ID on some devices that I need to sort out soon but not now.
Microblogging is a combination of blogging and instant messaging that allows users to create short messages to be posted and shared with an audience online. Social platforms like X (formerly Twitter) have become extremely popular forms of this type of blogging. These short messages can come in a variety of content formats including text, images, video, audio, and hyperlinks.
Formerly known as a “Quickie” tag here, I’ve re-assigned a “Micro” tag to every microblogging post I published. Again, think Twitter but without the algorithm and adverts. If you only want to see these quick snippets then, I have generated a “Micro” page at the top of this website. Or, click on the two lines in the upper right hand corner on your mobile. This will display a collection of Micro posts to date.
I am about to merge, consolidate and liquidate older IDs in favor of a new, more permanent Apple ID. I’ve made a mess of things these past few months. I hope for minimal damage and quick recovery process if it does happen.

I geeked out just now watching my website switch from night mode to day mode automatically according to when the sun is scheduled to rise. Thanks to my Open Weather api script.
While going through all of my files, I discovered they were all scattered across multiple hard drives, backed up multiple times. A mess. I decided to make a master file and import all data into it. Then I started to weed out all the quadruplicates. Now the master archive is backed up and synced to the external hard drives, the file server and the cloud. It only took me sixteen years.
Just going through a few back up hard drives and re-discovering some past writings. I need to sort and get them all into one place instead of scattered. Yeesh, what a nightmare I’ve created.
Having multiple accounts should be nice and simple but leave it to me to complicate matters. Despite documenting all credentials and passwords, toggling back and forth has been frustrating. Yes, I blame myself, not .
