thank god

new PB

If you consider how long it took me to add thumbnails to my website, it honestly was pretty quick how fast I fixed the issue where landscape thumbnails were sideways.

I also made it so the tag pages were somewhat useful and got rid of the comment section because I forgot how to use it.

One day (maybe even one day this year?) my process for posting photos won't require me to copy/paste all the image IDs into a command line script

Winter is an underrated time for photography. Obviously, I love to take photos of flowers and insects and other things that are only around in summer, but when it's all white out it's a chance to really lean into texture and shadow as the focus of a photo

The thing about "whatever wrapped" that is separate from whatever company is doing it is that the data you can track about a thing is not especially relevant to my experience of it.

Did I already complain about this recently? I'm not keeping track

* Ok, but now that I think about it, I definitely said Hellraiser was one of my movies of the year the year after I first watched it. I was still thinking about it and it's probably better as a concept than a film.

the purpose of a system are the friends made along the way

a movie is basically the same thing as it's plot summary, but to really know a film you also have to read about it's continuity errors on IMDB

Obviously it is bad that companies compile and sell all this information about you but I feel like people don't worry enough about how keeping track of that information about yourself can lead to unhealthy habits. It's good to forget things sometimes or just not know something and be happy in that

It's my favourite holiday and I've been busy. I just published my Year in Review/Year-end Best Ofs/Plans for 2025 as well as my 2025 Qualtagh

I also posted my first photos of the year to my to my photo blog (yesterday I posted my last photos of the year if you missed that)
