Built a sturdier structure for the grapevine this weekend with my Dad. We use it as a natural privacy barrier and also it yields enough grapes to make jelly for the year.

Andy Adams on photographer's websites
Andy Adams: For some reason, years ago, we all agreed to spend most of our online time looking at photography on a canvas smaller than a cocktail napkin. It’s awful when you think about it:

@danabra.mov If someone's username on bsky is a domain name, it would be nice if there was a clickable link on their profile page to that domain name, even if they didn't add that URL to their profile.

I’m thinking about playing some video games this winter. It would be the first time I’ve played since I was in my early twenties. Video games scare me. I feel like I’ll spend way too much time on them. But, who cares? My plan is to pick up an 8bitdo controller or two and play some retro games […]

Now that #Bluesky has exploded in sign ups (we’ll see how many stay), and has cash, I hope we see new #ATProto services that integrate with BS (and other ATP services). As far as I know, there are none. That isn’t good. Bonus points for a bridge to ActivityPub so that the social web can play nicely.
