“Chance favors the prepared mind.\"

\n– Gus Powell

Loved this interview with photographer Gus Powell. As someone interested in photography and terrified of it, the idea of sketch photos to build experience and readiness is so simple.

@marcoarment I appreciate the post and discussing the struggles with ADHD. While I didn’t have issues when I was younger, I definitely put myself in the undiagnosed camp as an adult. I’ve been using and liking Finalist, but will give this a try. I prefer dedicated apps.

@manton the changes to the HomePods and Apple TV don’t sit well with me. I know there’s internal storage on the Apple TV that’s being impacted by the craziness, but it’s still 6 year old hardware. $200 is steep.

@padresj.bsky.social Don’t let the rest of the GOP off the hook. It was enacted by Elon with the applause of hundreds of sycophants who have shielded themselves from any impacts of their decisions.

@tg reading this was extremely validating. Leaving Instagram, Twitter (years ago), and weening off Reddit (slowly). Diving back into RSS and setting up a micro.blog has brought back to what made me love the internet. The tinkering and exploring. Long live the boring web.
