This doodle seems like if a 70s detective was a shape.
This doodle I made while messing around in Paintbrush, which is a macOS replacement for MS Paint.
I’ve manually checked every long article I’ve written, fixing all the broken images after importing to micro.blog. I also had a chance to clean up broke URLs and improv alt text. Next up, adding a redirect for every old url 😩

My personal observation about Democrats and liberals is that many seem to vote to “solve” things, and once they think things are “solved” they let their attention wander off to whatever else it is they are doing. Many republicans and conservatives, on the other hand, seem to vote to “push” things in the direction they want them to go.
This tracks with my observations. If there’s one thing to take from the GOP, it’s vote to “push” not to “solve”.

Great article by Christina Warren on the history of the App Store and why we’re due for some kind of change, likely helped along by the EU’s Digital Markers Act. Apple taking a cut of all developer revenue is not sustainable forever.
I’ve been trying to collect my thoughts several days: I’m so very sad to hear of Bram Moolenaar’s passing. The author and largest maintainer of Vim for something like 30 years, his charitable work and dedication to his software was incredible. We lost a titan.
Late to the party, but this article from music blog Brooklyn Vegan on modern hardcore is introducing me to a lot of cool stuff. 🎵
I’m in a diner and Ho Hey by The Lumineers is playing. I looked up and saw the 1800 Cars for Kids ad on a muted TV. It’s the spot where children play rock instruments along to the jingle. For a brief moment, I thought that the kids were playing The Lumineers song.
It was horrible.
Bush Terminal Park.
I pushed up the color vibrancy on this photo of a warehouse near sunset park and like the surreal effect.
Another doodle. I’m proud of the sense of movement and adventure in this one.
Publishing some of my old doodles. This one done on the iPad.
Why is all software “blazing” fast? It’s like they ran out of adjunctives.
Today at improv practice I was gifted a stage moniker: “Fish DeLuca”. There’s no way to explain it, but this is a game changer for me.

Finished reading: Neuromancer by William Gibson 📚
It’s in some ways a retro future, others impossibly far off, and still others very present.
It’s so slathered in invented lingo that I found it hard to follow at points, but I was content to let the overall effect wash over me.
Me: terrified of the climate crisis
Also me: sometimes finds pollution beautiful.
I just saw a tourism add for New Brunswick, Canada, but I thought it was for New Brunswick New Jersey and I nearly shit.
Downtown sunset park.
I had the Pollo Asado at this amazing hole in the wall in Sunset Park Brooklyn. So good. I had it hours ago and I’m still tired.
Playing around with @halide@mastodon.social. I don’t know much about #photography, but finding it fun so far.
There’s so much incredible new things in #css these days, I just want to take a moment to reflect on the simple power of * + *.
Had the pleasure of performing improv with my team Loose Corn at Bird and Friends: Cosmic Unity. Bird created such an incredible vibe, the place was packed, and the energy was rocking. Here we are posing for our album cover. #improv
Does anyone know of an iOS camera app where I can disable AI smoothing? Looking for lense captured film grain. #photography
Today in Union Square, but imagine The Offspring blasting from a boombox.
