The new Lightroom CC is going to be so divisive! I’m already conflicted, but leaning toward thinking Adobe is on the right track (and I almost never think that).

Well this is fun. Who would have thought I’d be able to buy a brand new “Polaroid” in 2017. Makes me a little giddy.

This Caran d’Ache pencil sharpener is overkill and expensive but I love it and don’t regret buying it for a second. It’s a wonderful, simple, and beautiful thing.

My working notebook (aka a sort-of “bullet journal”) is now a large Boorum & Pease record book (21-300-R). If you’re going to carry a notebook, make it count!

Paul Ford:

Our software is bullshit, our literary essays are too long, the good editors all quit or got fired, hardly anyone is experimenting with form in a way that wakes me up, the IDEs haven’t caught up with the 1970s, the R&D budgets are weak, the little zines are badly edited, the tweets are poor, the short stories make no sense, people still care too much about magazines, the Facebook posts are nightmares, LinkedIn has ruined capitalism, and the big tech companies that have arisen are exhausting, lumbering gold-thirsty kraken that swim around with sour looks on their face wondering why we won’t just give them all our gold and save the time.

Paul is my hero.

Just for fun I brought back my old mutt config and oh how I love mutt. http://www.mutt.org “All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less.”

I need to find something to distract me from wanting to host my own Mastodon instance, because I really want to try hosting my own Mastodon instance.
