As I've been returning to film photography, I am reflecting on how, in the late 90s I was desperate for a digital camera that could approach the quality of 35mm film. And now, I am looking for the combination of film stock and scanner that can get me close to the quality of current digital cameras…
One of the worst things about modern software is constantly being experimented on. I don't want features appearing and disappearing, buttons moving, and copy changing every day or two as various A/B tests run to see if they can squeeze a statistically significant 0.01% more engagement out of me.
Remember when we needed Flash to watch most video on the web? Those were the days…
Is it a conspiracy that all of the manufacturers of power stations have websites that are terrible in the same way, and make it nearly impossible to understand what all of the options are?
I never thought I'd be happy to see high temps in the 40s on the 10-day forecast…
Ok, but I can sell it, buy a Rolex, and still go on vacation to Paris with money left over. I'll take it.

Stone pillar, covered with a solid layer of ice.
Solid cap of ice on top of the pillar at the end of our driveway.
Wind is picking up in downtown Franklin, and has started blowing down branches and things from trees. #tspotter
Just curious, what general area is this in?
Screenshot of middle Tennessee weather radar, showing precipitation over Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill, Fairview, Centerville, and Dickson, but none to the west of that.
Is this actually likely to be the end of the precipitation, currently just west of Dickson?
We had a brief blink in downtown Franklin about 30 minutes ago, but as of right now we have power and internet. Rain is coming down and there's definitely a lot of ice accumulation out there.
The weather influencers are in full clickbait mode...
(I don't consider @nashseverewx.com a weather influencer; that's not who I am talking about.)
100%. I don't remember anyone ever saying "diskette." I will admit, though, that the first time I saw one, I thought it was "a hard drive." One of my friends got a Mac SE, the first Mac I had ever seen, and that was my introduction to 3.5" floppies. I'd heard of hard drives, so I just assumed...
Screenshot of the iPhone settings screen, showing the “Limit Frame Rate” setting set to on.
Also, when I was looking for that setting to take a screenshot, I remembered I had this enabled. The fact that I still cant' even tell if it's enabled or not is an argument for leaving it as it is, I suppose.
Screenshot of iPhone settings screen, showing the “Vibration” setting set to off.
Probably one of the best setting changes I ever made on my iPhone. It's shocking how nice it is to just never have the phone vibrate, buzz, or bump at all, no matter what. I flipped this switch a little over a month ago, and I wish I did it earlier.
Can I go home at halftime?
Wait, I already am home. Sigh...

I've been fretting all week. I'm impressed that you held it off for so long.
Nokia 8290 was peak for me. Absolutely perfect phone. It's all been down hill since then.
I turned it on for a moment and saw Jason Aldean, so immediately flipped away.
In November, I left my tech job. Today's tech industry is unrecognizable compared to what it was when I started at Amazon in 1999. I'm looking forward to a 2026 filled with more human connection and creativity than algorithms and models.
Just had some MASSIVE wind, power blips, and very heavy rain through downtown Franklin. Surprised the warning doesn't extend down here. Anyway, it showed up suddenly and then was gone a couple of minutes later.
The power blinked JUST long enough to make my dish washer (which was in the middle of a cycle) freak out.
I'd just be happy to have an announcement that wasn't spoiled by leakers ahead of time.
Has Chad tried to get verified?
Same.
Also a bummer of an afternoon to be sitting at BNA hoping to fly out…
I have not watched the show, but I hereby take offense.
At least they are really good at branding the models themselves.
Oh, wait....
