    "Wanna watch a movie?" "Sure, what's on?" [navigates several varying UIs with TV remote for frustratingly long time] "Well... I've heard good things about 'Upgrade'" "Alright, sounds good. Just pick something." "Aw dammit. You wanna pay $6.99 for it?" "It's getting late anyhow."

    I get that wrangling rights & licensing must be a tough, but there must be a lot of people who would pay a pretty good monthly fee for a movie streaming service that just actually had all the movies? Without extra fees, or concept of 'rent/own'. Current services feel so hobbled.

    For the morning crowd - I made a thing: A single-purpose one-off Twitter account - 2001: A Space Odyssey, in Tweets. It ended up becoming a storyboard of the movie, with dialogue, rolled into a single thread of 168 tweets.

    TIL that in a nook at the bottom of the huge Great Western Staircase in the New York State Capitol Building in Albany, sharp-eyed visitors for a century have noticed the small face of a devil carved there, now blackened by candles and lighters. From here:

    You know the exhibits at the 1939 World's Fair - Con Edison had one called "The City of Light", a diorama of bustling, electrified New York City. I'd seen photos before, but only just realized how gigantic it was - the "world's largest diorama", a block long & 3 stories high.

    Photographing the image was a matter of trial and error. I got these photos with (ISO 1600, f/3.5, 30-second exposure). The best part of the whole experience though, is the "live" aspect, when cars and people go by, and you can watch.

    Back in June I turned my bathroom into a Camera Obscura. Covered the window with foamcore board, cut a hole & taped a small washer in for an aperture, watched the church across the street appear on our wall (flipped). When I stepped in for a selfie, I became an accidental pirate.

    I was thinking about that whole thing for days... how did it slip so completely from my mind so fast?

    I just came across a news photo of a small fire on a wooded island from earlier in the week, and tried to recall what it was from. I can't believe I had forgotten about Rich Russell taking that plane from SeaTac, barrel-rolling and crashing it - that was less than a week ago!

    A while back I had a thought: "What if there were bison the size of house cats - and we could have them as pets?" And images of tiny herds roaming through kitchens, tussling in back yards, or snoozing on comforters filled my head. So... I cobbled these together.

    Scene: Late last night, ducking into grocery store in an August thunderstorm. Walk into the store, body reconciling earlier dark/hot/humid with sudden bright/cold/dry. Then, a sharp vinyl smell: a huge inflated Jack-o'-lantern in a sea of orange candy? Halloween is 83 days away!

    The job that had the most impact on me was the Promo/Sales driver - I spent about 2 years in my twenties driving across North America to promote tourism to Alaska. I got to see so much, was paid to do it all, and got to drive this 60-foot beast, parked here in Eau Claire, WI
