The most fascinating thing to me about this post is that I’ve never heard any of these non-facts before reading this.

Thanks for the tip, Corrie! The Watch Duty app was helpful today for figuring out why it smelled smoky! I also used windy.com to confirm the smoke was coming from that direction.

Ha! I’ve been on that track. A friend of mine had a ‘vette he used to bring up, and he was one of the race officials, so I got to ride in a pace car once. They’re really packin’ them in, aren’t they?

Opening the beef bag over the sink reminded me of the first time I was asked to reserve pasta water. I carefully put the colander over the saucepan and strained the liquid into the pot without spilling a drop. After successfully completing the task I turned and dumped the pasta into the trash.

My son and I share a frustration when The Physical Things do not cooperate. I remember one outburst he had when he was probably 6 or 7. I don’t recall what specifically he was frustrated by - a jar cap that wouldn’t go on, or a domino that wouldn’t stand up, maybe. I watched with empathy and parental need to guide as I tried to help him slow down. He yelled at whatever The Physical Thing was, saying “Physics is glitching!”

He’s such a gamer.

Your brother’s stuff is so cool.

I actually prefer your narratives more than the grab-bags, but this one slapped.

The Autoglyphs seem to live in a similar world to my brother’s work on pen plotting: https://www.patreon.com/c/j_cammarata_art/posts?vanity=j_cammarata_art His subscribers get monthly postcards of abstract pen-plotted art, which sometimes involve the recipient in their construction.

Me, too!!

I think they’re great!

Oh yeah, a CD player with wheels!

Nice solo! Thanks for sharing!

How about an amazing flute solo that you’ve never heard unless you’re a flautist.

I’ve since listened to a few more of Peripheral’s DJ sets; they’re good!

Untrue. You own a vehicle that plays cds!

Now then, about Ebi’s parents…the jury’s still out…

The Watch Duty app is what I rely on to be informed of fires. You can get notifications for some number of counties (can’t remember how many in the free… continue on the post →

I, too, have felt annoyed. Disappointed. Thwarted, even. by Random Acts of Chaos. When I am operating at my best, I remind myself that I am not on the path I think I’m… continue on the post →

Maybe Apple is focusing on some of these issues this year.

I’m so tickled that you liked the phrase “middle airs”! Our mutual friend forwarded this post to me and it put a big smile on my face :)

Well, that was quick. The chrysalis hatched! At least one got away. I think there is a second in the blurry background there.We spotted a couple of other chrysali among the… continue on the post →

Linden and Ali spotted one chrysalis last night in the nearby flowers. There are probably a few more in there but likely the rest are gone, taken down with the… continue on the post →

I’ve been following you for days, Justin. I know who you are. I’ve been painting alongside you. Our day will come.

That’s a lot of cats!

That same milkweed plant has been decimated in 24 hours. There are still a lot of caterpillars on there.

I’m sorry, I was withholding the chopsticks from you at the other end of the table.

Oh yeah, I don’t track anything and don’t plan to. It’s not the point. If you want to read it, that’s not really any of my business.

I took half of my sandwich home. I took all the filling out of it and chopped it all up together and put it back in the sandwich. It was… continue on the post →

We counted over 20 caterpillars this morning. There were 17 on one milkweed alone! How many can you see here?

I got a couple of pictures of these buggers yesterday morning. The big ones are so big! They are about 5 cm (2 inches) long. So big!This small one is so small!… continue on the post →

I bit the bullet and added a comment form! Now I can post comments on my own posts much more easily!

bandercoot’s YT video on KCD2’s NPCs just makes me want to get through the intro section and learn the controls, or find out if there are any XB mods that… continue on the post →

The comment facilities here have really developed. Each post has an rss feed for comments. Some pages have comments, the now page, the about page. Apparently I think I’m going… continue on the post →

There are actually lots of RSS feeds all over the place. Feeds for tags, feeds for posts in specific tags, feeds for all the comments, feeds for comments on every… continue on the post →

Testing the file-based comment path. This whole body is a separate markdown file living next to index.md in the bundle. A blockquote, because why not: The cleanest YAML is the YAML you… continue on the post →

By coincidence, I had The Pudding’s article on similes open in a tab since kdo shared it earlier this week yesterday. I haven’t read it yet, I forgot about it… continue on the post →

I have no idea who is responsible for YAML Checker (another single page site, btw), and it unfortunately has some ads running on it. On the plus side, it works… continue on the post →

It’s another comment. How does it look? These comments are great, keep ’em coming!

Thanks, Jeff!

Dude, your blog is great! I keep meaning to comment and then there’s no comment spot! I’ve always meant to look up “allotment” so I finally got around to it and… continue on the post →

I am testing out a multiline comment in the new comments section of the blog. This is great! Here is my other website.
