Our son is watching Seinfeld for the first time and now he's talking like them! I told him I had a drink from a freestyle Coke machine and it was terrible.
Him: Well, did you have the sip?
Me: What's the sip?
Him: You gotta have the sip! Before you get to your car! You know, the sip!

Imagine thinking in the 90s this was going to be worth something and then seeing it in an estate auction for $6 in 2026. Couldn't be me!
“CURRY, WAY DOWNTOWN, BANG!”
10 years ago today, Steph Curry delivered one of the most iconic shots in NBA history — accompanied by one of the most iconic calls ever. 🤩🎙️

It sucks how the options for the awesome thing that would be very valuable and helpful are all bad.
A photo of the back of the Debao SU800 connected to my Nikon D850.
I've never bought third party accessories before but took a chance on the Debao SU-800 flash trigger. It was $114 instead of $469, takes two AA batteries, and so far is more reliable than the built-in commander system I used and it has awesome range!
Played pickleball again tonight against a bunch of random people and it was super fun. Everyone is always so nice even as they smash it in your face! "Sorry!"
Just listened and that was an awesome discussion, and totally not what I was expecting at all! Thanks for the link!
Thanks! I'll check it out!
Just saw Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie and I want to know how they did all of that?!
Some photos from the train station with the Ricoh GR iii X.
These NBA All-star mini games have been awesome.
Closest player comp? 😂
Cat looking at stuff.

A poster that says: HANDS OFF OUR SCHOOLS! Stop the Takeovers, Fund Education Doug Ford's government has stepped in to take over more school boards using powers expanded under Bill 33. We'll be hosting an in-person townhall so that ONDP MPP and Education Critic Chandra Pasma can hear from parents, students, and educators about the crisis in our schools. Kingston Frontenac Public Library, Central Branch FEBRUARY 12 • 6:30 - 7:30 PM ontariondp.ca/education-emergency- townhall-in-kingston
Join Ontario NDP MPP and Education Critic @chandrapasma.bsky.social this Thursday, February 12th at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library downtown for an in-person #OntEd town hall! Lots of alarm bells ringing: government takeover of school boards, chronic underfunding, lack of transparency, etc.
This is an important point.
Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist.
The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes.
So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.
Played pickleball again tonight. No wonder it's so popular -- it's fun!
Picked up a little birthday treat and bought a Ricoh GR iii X HDF (so many letters!) to play around with. It's shockingly small and light!
Harlem Globetrotter throwing down a dunk vs the Washington Generals in Kingston.
Saw the Harlem Globetrotters tonight on their 100 year anniversary tour! It's wild to think they've been doing this since 1926!
Some photos from the Reelout Queer Film Festival screening of The Eyes of Laura Mars. Luckily I've never had visions from a serial killers's perspective! 📸
Black-and-white self-portrait of Vivian Maier (1926–2009), the reclusive American street photographer whose vast archive of over 100,000 images was discovered posthumously and has since established her as one of the 20th century's most significant street photographers. She stands outdoors, gazing directly and intently at the camera with a serious, introspective expression. Her short, tousled hair frames her face, and she wears a plaid or checkered button-up shirt. She holds her signature twin-lens reflex Rolleiflex camera (a medium-format Rolleiflex with twin lenses and waist-level viewfinder) up to her eye, strap around her neck, composing the shot with quiet determination. The image captures her solitary, observant nature and technical skill, taken by Maier herself using a mirror, reflection, or self-timer technique common in her self-portraits.
Black-and-white street photograph by Vivian Maier, taken in New York City (likely Times Square or a bustling mid-century urban area, circa 1950s). The central subject is a young man (teen or early 20s) with tousled hair, wearing a casual collared shirt with rolled sleeves, dark trousers, and a belt, standing on a sidewalk. One pigeon is sitting on his left with a second pigeon caught in mid landing with wings extended upward. His expression is concentrated and almost reverent. In the background, large advertising billboards and signs loom prominently, including "SPAGHETTI Served Here" with a pasta illustration and "PLANTERS NUTS" (or similar), along with other marquees, pedestrians, and city details that evoke the vibrant, gritty energy of 1950s New York street life. Maier's signature empathetic eye for everyday human moments and urban textures shines through in this candid, compassionate capture.
Vivian Maier was born #OTD in 1926.
She privately took >100,000 photos--only found when her unpaid storage contents were auctioned off. Posthumously, she became one of the 20th century’s greatest street photographers.

$1 for three months on Mubi seems like a pretty good deal! 🤯
Lots of snow days in January, and this is a good look into how the decision is made to cancel school buses in our region if necessary.

Played my first actual pickleball games tonight and it was so fun! I signed up for intermediate and advanced open play, met three other random guys who have been playing for years, and played doubles for two hours! Would recommend.
Awesome performance by the Kingston Symphony last night showcasing the music of Star Wars! Loved hearing songs from Rogue One and The Mandalorian.
