I’ve been spending a lot of time in Rayon designing floor and site plans lately and it’s just a joy to use.
Rayon - The Fastest Software to Create Perfect Architectural Drawings
I think some of us must be shadow banned from the Micro.blog discover page. I see mostly the same people over and over.
Still the worst possible location conceivable for a MLB stadium in PDX. While I do want a pro team, I’ll go on record as saying this will never be built.

Hudson’s Detroit and its moods.
As the only tall glass curtain building in the middle of a sea of historic beauties, Hudson’s in Detroit stands out. The lines feel deliberate and intentional, working with the surrounding structures to heighten the effect. Sure, the Renaissance Center looms off to the side, separate and hulking, looking dark and foreboding. But it always looks like that.
Hudson’s is different. Its appearance shifts with the weather. It’s a chameleon. When the sky is heavy and gray, it’s a moody teenager in the backseat on a road trip with her grandparents, doing her best to blend in. In the midday sun, it becomes a young man in a crisp business suit, climbing the corporate ladder and vying for attention. When golden hour arrives on a clear day, it turns into a glowing presence at a summer wedding, full of light and impossible to ignore.

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.
Completed my 15th extended fast tonight (48 hrs) and closing in on 40 lbs down.
Finished reading: The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson 📚
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.
Sort of a rough day, but I saw some pretty things.
Happy Father’s Day to my dad. A proud veteran who got out with my mom and protested today against the worst President in U.S. history, period. NPR affiliate WCMU interviewed him. I’m lucky my heros are my parents.
Spotted on a leisurely walk this evening: “Trump is a rapist and a racist.”
Waiting on those dog days of summer. She’s ready, I’m not. 🐕🦺 📷 🌞
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.
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.
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.
Not quite a full moon. Shot handheld while in my underwear on the front porch.
