πŸ“· Some photos on a walk at Powell Butte. I went with the constraint "black and white photos with the iPhone using Obscura, mostly with the new 4x lens" and am quite happy with the results. Full set of photos at the link attached.

Yes! It’s on my list! Thanks 😊
Recently, I had some delicious Biang Biang noodles at Frank's Noodle House here in Portland πŸ˜‹.

Had been wanting to have these ever since I finished reading Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social, which was a really nice book.
On Friday I had the day off, so I took the opportunity to be outside all day exploring new-to-me places a couple hours away right here in Oregon.

Sent some feedback:

The weather widget should show the temperature at all times. It should show the temperature when it is raining. If you live in a place where it rains a lot you don't see the temperature when it is raining, which can sometimes be several days in a row, and that is just silly.
Ok, so my iPhone 17 Pro which came with iOS 26 installed told me there was an update for iOS 26, so I was like, "wtf?!" but I was also like, okay buddy, you do it. And then it did it and was happy and I'm still confused what happened.

I should've stopped watching "Fountain of Youth" when there was a second street chase less than twenty minutes into the movie. I said this out loud.

Could it be terrible all the way, I wondered? Yes.

It ended bad, just like it started bad, and I felt bad, and it should feel bad.
I saw a bird on nearly every statue taller than 12 feet or so in Oslo.

Slow cooking recipes with a bazillion ingredients where you use all of them in the beginning, but save one to use at the end, should really fucking highlight/warn about that one! </rant>

P.S. I hope my dinner comes out ok 🀞
