I love how Will Smith is using YouTube. Could watch this guy's videos all day. And why not; I been watching The Fresh Prince my whole life and learning lessons.

Airbase

Flew my drone at a decommissioned airbase today. Was worried it'd be geofenced but it wasn't and

Water Tower

Saw this water tower. Stands out a bit. Took a couple of photos. End.

I'm not saying school's trying to test that we're actually reading books with Tabitha, but there's a typo in the one we were reading today.

There's less than 200 words in this damn book and they can't even be bothered to proofread?!

When I look at the past, I can't believe where we've been. When I look at the present, it's like s

Someone I've worked with for a few years sent me a beautiful email about this blog today, and I'm feeling very proud and motivated right now.

I've always treated it as less of a blog and more of a journal that I carelessly left lying around and don't care if it gets read. I don't promote it, because I don't gain anything whether someone looks at it or not, but the feeling I get when people go out of their way to talk to me about it makes me very proud.

Taking pictures and writing these things is my only artistic/creative outlet, and I keep it zero pressure for a reason. That reason is that I don't want to grow to hate it; I just want it to grow.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope you find something here you like, because I very much enjoyed, and enjoy making it.

Given the problem humans have standardising things worldwide, I don't think I'll ever fully buy the fact that all countries decided to carve the day up into 24 lots of 60 lots of 60.

Improving Software

Email's organic nature means it tends towards chaos. The new GMail UI for folding long conversatio

We finished watching Disenchantment on Netflix and it ended up better than I anticipated. It wasn't as consistently funny as Futurama (used to be) and The Simpsons (used to be) but it's definitely got some of that lovely, sentimental character development that Futurama carried in episodes like Jurassic Bark (even though it's basically a rip-off of Greyfriar's Bobby), Game of Tones (even though it has a completely stupid clickbait name) and The Late Philip J. Fry. It took about five episodes to get going, which is far more than I'd ordinarily give a show, but I'm glad we stuck with it.

Now, to get into Bojack Horseman and catch up before it's all Charlotte talks about for a few months.

The sun brings lots of interesting people out.

I'm going to start playing with writing shorter posts here. I haven't used Twitter for ages, and I do miss writing things in that format. For now, these posts will go through to RSS, which means they're going to end up on my Facebook page and in your RSS reader. If that annoys you, find some way to tell me and I might stop. Seems more likely that no-one will notice, which is also fine.
