Handmade Farmhouse Door

I love how humble materials absorb a little bit of every hand that touches them. The cheap but sturdy hardware store fittings, and timbers from local trees, seem to glow more the older they get. Even the clinched nail heads look polished.

"Art provides discrete, meaningful experiences. Content doesn’t end."

A superb note in a fascinating essay by Christine Gerardi, kicked off by the launch of the Apple Vision Pro, but then meditating smartly on technology, memory, and story

Just read that this morning. Agreed, gets to the heart of things, deceptively couched in the form of a film and tech review.

Yesterday was the 160th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The President was invited to speak as an afterthought, was not the main event. Top billing went to Edward Everett, a dynamic orator at the time.

Everett spoke to a crowd of 15,000 for two hours.

When he was done, Lincoln stood up in the crowd and quietly read from his notes.There were no megaphones or amplifiers. Lincoln's whole speech lasted two minutes – just 271 words.

No one remembers what Everett said.

boarding the state ferry Columbia tonight at 3 am with my truck and my dog and heading 1300 miles down the inside passage of AK and BC as i have been doing for the last 20 years or so. i will live toot when i have service because for me, the alaska state ferries are a kind of church and i am a kind of fundamentalist and missionary

@seachanger Good to be on one of the largest ships in that fleet. My daughter and I took one of the smallest going the other direction, Haines to Bellingham. Beautiful trip, loved every bit of it, but no storms.

@DemocracySpot Right, I also saw a coffin. Appropriate that it's really an "I" – me, my coffin. Wonder what Rorschach would say?

Followed a kingfisher chuckling down the creek from tree to tree. A bald eagle clambered up from a snag on muddy tidal flats to the top of a loblolly.

    @elaterite I rode a Fresian in Ireland trekking. Outstanding creatures. Gentle, nimble, and elegant with those tassels on their ankles.

    Likewise, to books

    I do not like audio books.
    My focus leaves & before long, I realize I have no idea what’s going on. Also, I don’t find listening to a book near as enjoyable as reading it, something gets lost in the process.

    All that to say, I’ve been listening to this one. Granted, it’s taken me 2 times of checking it out at the library. These are all true stories that cover many subjects & the endings all make you think, which I love. I highly recommend.

    Even if you hate audio books 😉

    @Likewise @bookstodon Agreed. For me, completely different experiences. But if done well, both enjoyable. I hear things I did not see, and vice versa.

    @dmoren I've been trying to get Apple to fix iCloud syncing for me since June? I was trying to migrate off Dropbox and use my iCloud Drive storage. I was able to copy everything, but out of 190 GB, about 60 GB (IIRC) wouldn't sync. I tried a zillion things. I got through to a senior Apple support tech who has been great. We have spent hours together. I dumped GBs of data to Apple. No reply (he said I may never hear anything). Suddenly a few weeks ago, all but ~1 GB synced!

    @eyeinhand@fosstodon.org avatar

    @glennf @dmoren With all the things they do get right, it's been baffling for a decade why iCloud remains so wonky. I'm sure it seems simpler to me than it is, but smarter people than me have been working on this since at least 2011.

    Spawning salmon were trapped in this lake in the Yukon by a landslide long ago. After thousands of years, and thousands of generations, they still migrate from one end of the lake to the other, trying to reach the sea.
    .
    I still feel a strange urge when the leaves start to turn, like I'm trapped and need to go outside.

    Many layers of vintage painted signs on the two story brick wall of a hundred year old drug store. Coca-Cola 5 cents, Cigars, Prescriptions, etc..
