I happened upon a large flock of corvid gathering on a nearby roof. In the moment I thought to experiment with a long exposure shot to capture those in flight circling above.

Micron/Crucial has been my go to for years building PCs. This move just pisses me off so much. Fuck AI. It just keeps taking without giving anything in return. If the bubble can hurry up and pop already, that’d be great!

Hi everyone!

I’m trying my hand at developing my first comic, called Notchee, as a creative outlet to cope with some crippling mental health issues.

I’m using paper and pencil to draw as I’m new to it, don’t have access to digital drawing tools and am generally trying to reduce my use of technology where possible. Apologies if it’s hard to read because of this. The website is just something I threw together quickly to make it easier to share this project with the world. It’s all very much a work in progress (please send bug reports 😁).

I’m not sure how often I’ll put out a new one, maybe weekly but more likely whenever the mood strikes me and ideas flow.

Anyway, this is the inaugural Notchee, titled Good Governance. I hope you like it at least half as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Thanks for taking a look.

So, I just got an email from Amazon refunding me the purchase of lint-free wipes I bought for screen and lens cleaning. I didn’t request the refund, they initiated it, but their reasoning seems hilarious to me:

We have identified that the product that you purchased may not be safe for viewing a solar eclipse. If you still have this product, out of an abundance of caution, we recommend you not to use it to watch any solar eclipses, including the one happening on March 29. Please dispose of this product.

The product:

Are people actually watching solar eclipses through lint-free wipes? Anyway, I lol’d and thought I’d share it with you all to brighten your day.

TL;DR don’t use lint-free wipes to watch solar eclipses. You’ve been warned!
