When I look at my own childhood photos, it’s often the Polaroids that fill me with the most joy. So when my wife got me a Polaroid camera for my birthday earlier this year, I got excited. It’s a brick, but I’m trying to get in the habit of taking it out with us more often.

My friend Chris just released his fifth album under the banner of Love Axe. If you like politically and socially conscious acoustic and indie rock, you should check out Optimism Paranoia Desperation Abolition.

Why do I have to talk myself out of buying every enameled cast iron pan that crosses my feed? Le Creuset? Staub? Hell, even Lodge. Be still my heart, your 9-quart cocotte has got you covered, with room to spare…ribs.

Spotted on a leisurely walk this evening: “Trump is a rapist and a racist.”

Rivian emailed me earlier this week about an event they were having at Helvetia Farm Market, so I scheduled a test drive with an R1S this morning. I got a Tri Motor model, which of course was pretty decked out and plenty quick. Nice ride. Kid 1 votes no because they don’t have video games. 😉 💸 🚙

How is GNC still in business? Who is shopping there?

If I didn’t already have an X-T5, I’d probably get this. Too spendy, though.

Fujifilm X-E5

Like so many things that found me later than they should have, Pet Sounds changed me. I don’t think I gave it a real listen until I was deep into my twenties. But I was only seven when Kokomo was all over the radio. Can you blame me? Rest in peace, Brian Wilson.

Wouldn’t it be nice?

I was reading this article from the New York Times and found this map interesting. The eastern half of Oregon that wants to secede and join Idaho? Over 40% of the population is on Medicaid.

I remember how excited I was when I moved to Portland 10 years ago and found out my apartment was on the parade route. Awesome views right from the comfort of my 2nd floor living room. But Rose Festival or Starlight parade now? Nope. I just don’t like dealing with crowds.

Rumor has it Fujifilm is about to drop an X-E5 with IBIS and a 40 MP sensor.

Fujifilm teaser suggests the rumored X-E5 is imminent – and it looks like an affordable X100VI alternative

Of all the footwear I’ve owned through the years, only my Chacos remain. They are indestructible and will outlive me. They are eternal. They are time itself.

“This ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ remake sucks.”

Also, I updated my blog with a modified version of the Microwave theme on Micro.blog. I’m digging it.
