over-under-sharing

My brother and I worked together to come up with this term, the generic version of “vaguebooking.” If the name wasn’t so appropriate for what I’ve already over-under-shared on this blog, I’d start a new one, but I’m too attached to this one already, so I’ve just changed the overly-long name to lead with it. Tor Kingdon @kingtor @soaproot Also a good one. And is there a name for vague“book”ing on Mastodon? Or perhaps a CW? soaproot @soaproot@sfba.social @kingtor Uh, "book"? Or vaguebook? I'm not sure I know/recognize this concept Tor Kingdon @kingtor @soaproot vague booking is a vague post on facebook soaproot @soaproot@sfba.social @kingtor Never heard of it, so I'm obviously not the one to ask about what we would call it here. Tor Kingdon @kingtor @soaproot Yeah, that wasn’t a very good definition. It’s generally used to describe a post that appears to be speaking of something specific and probably personal but leaves out all the details or backs...

autofocus sucks

This, kids, is why you should learn to focus for yourself. Also why cameras these days should have better focus aids in the viewfinder.

I miss the ocean already. Last time we were coming home from an ocean vacation, the New Mexico skies greeted us with an amazing display of clouds and light which prompted my partner to day “around here, we keep our oceans in the sky.” I should know better than to expect that greeting every time, but I have to admit to being disappointed not to get it this time.  I did get to enjoy this spectacular interruption of what had been the flattest sea of clouds I every remember seeing, though. And I do get to come home to these smiling faces, too, so don't cry for me.
