  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 5: Forest

    Landscape photo with clouds in the sky and a distant view of forest-covered 'hills' (they're called mountains on the east coast but they would be called hills when compared to the Rocky Mountains), with a forest in the foreground of the photo.

    The view from some random trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a couple years back. 🌳 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 4: Orange

    Cider in a glass, the rim dusted with cinnamon powder, with a vertical orange slice on the lip of the glass, on a white-cloth covered table with a spoon in the foreground.

    Every time my partner and I visit Quebec City, we have a dinner at a local crepêrie and inevitably get cider with the meal. This time, there was cinnamon on the glass and an orange slice. 🍎🍊 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 3: Precious

    Grey long-haired cat (with a tuff of lighter fur on his chest), looking straight into the camera, with light yellow-green eyes.

    Sadly, our little puppy-rabbit crossed the rainbow bridge back in February but this little fur-ball is still with us, eating us out of house and home, puking all his food up, and wailing plaintively to go outside. 😸 #mbsept

    Vegan slinger (sourdough toast, vegetarian sausage, and scrambled eggs, covered in gravy) on a white plate with a fork.

    The inverse of “buildup” is “tear down” and in my case, devouring breakfast while catching up with an old friend. 🍽️ #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 1: Abstract

    Abstract image with shades of blue and silver.

    Decided it would be fun to use DiffusionBee, used the following for the prompt: “random collection of splashes of colors, focusing on shades of blue and silver, Jackson Pollock, HD” #mbsept

  • Random Thought: Always fascinated by companies who take the “if you want to change your email, create a new account” approach. 😅 Who on earth decided that was a great user experience…and what software architect designed it? 🤣

  • Random Thought: With Twitter (aka “X”) talking about collecting even more data (link to Ars Technica), now seems like a good time to export my old Tweets, remove the Twitter apps from my devices, and import said data into Micro Blog.

  • Yet another reason why I won’t invest any time, energy, or money into the Google ecosystem: Google kills two-year “Pixel Pass” subscription after just 22 months. 🤣

  • As predicted, my banking account is “locked” and I need to call customer support…and the wait time is estimated to be 57 minutes. 😤

  • Just realized the bank holding my mortgage has changed their customer portal (their term, not mine) for the third time since I became their customer. 😔 I’ll wager a cup of coffee they screwed up the migration of my user profile again, which means I have to call them. 😭 #FirstWorldProblems

  • Brunch with the boys! 🍽️

    Veggie Slinger: corn-flour waffle, impossible “meat” chili, Swiss cheese, and scrambled eggs…on a plate.

  • Random Thought: Sipping on my first and only pumpkin spice latte of the season. ☕️🎃🍁

  • Listening to the Keeping Up Appearances: The Luxury Podcast on the drive back to the City today, and my goodness, this is hilarious. I love the banter between the two hosts. 🤣😆

  • Somebody paid for my order at Starbucks, first time that’s ever happened to me. 😀 I returned the favor for the person behind me in the line. #PayItForward

  • Ah, nothing like password change / reset day…first you get to change it on your Mac and then your iPad and iPhone and other work machine…and then you get to change it in Teams and Outlook and all the other products. 🤣
