In the 1980s, a Seattle-area Chinese restaurant owner had a sailboat named Won Ton Sloop. (Or so I was told as I never saw the boat myself)

In the past 15 years, I have purchased five Lumix cameras including the new L10 (which I have yet to receive). I like their cameras a lot. The dedication to pursue this battle is a…

Yes, it breaks the back button on iPad/Safari

I have gone down that quote’s rabbit hole before and it looks a lot more apocryphal than Maynard. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/07/22/keynes-change-mind/

I once picked up an old copy of Bartlett’s Quotations and found that the prior highlighting owner found it nearly 100% profound.

Bogus blog shenanigans aside, Drake Anthony is a treasure.

I own four in my office. Daily driven, mostly with photo editing tasks but some Blender, too. Work well for us.

I have been very lucky with a washer/dryer pair from Samsung that have only needed two minor repairs in 12 years of near-daily use. A heating element for the dryer. A new door seal…

I used to live in Tam Junction, close to Sausalito. I had lived there at least a year before I discovered the Bay Model and was amazed when I visited it. It is huge.

The ones that do likely first tried to do the photography themselves.

Well, there’s Nuke.

acdsee, at least a few years ago when I was using it for large volume jpg commercial work, is fast and often good enough. The trickier stuff went for a spin in Photoshop.

Waaay back in the early 1980s, I read an Asimov essay, “The Vanishing Element”, about the irreplaceable nature of helium and how badly humankind was wasting it. He pointed out that…

The demographic includes my spouse who likes the taste and texture of both Beyond and Impossible burgers much more than ground beef burgers. Beyond sausage links are damn good.

Same. At least at this moment. iPad.

That’s worth about $5

So, alas, Dell called today and said that some supply chain problems and tariffs have caused them to not be able to deliver the monitor until July. I cancelled the order.

This is cool. I'd like to see an example of a filled-out template that generated a decent font. I think that'd be helpful.

Thank you. Very good points. I already know that it (Mac Studio) can’t/won’t reliably do 2560x1440. I will look at BetterDisplay.

Hah! I just ordered that today. ~$2200. Going to use it with a new Mac Studio.
