my take away from web development this week is that there are two many ways to write incorrect HTML for responsive video elements

hard to find a good hiding spot once you're such a long shark

photo picker is such a disaster on Android. Google changes it too often and each version commits the same sins.

No wonder every app is using a completely different UI to select photos. It's a challenge finding your photo every time.

can this be saved? would have been one of my best, but I way overexposed this poor nudi.

curious if lightroom/etc. can be used to fix something like this 😅

lucky to get my best shot yet of a nudibranch this morning 🩵

Always tough on freedive when they are shallow (too bouyant)

How was this Viz in Sydney this summer vs last? Either way... it's looking pretty good for this weekend (finally!)

I appreciate my 2nd gen Chromecast finding one final way to fail on me. Honestly, setting the cert expiry for 10yrs and forgetting about it for that long are equally funny

How's the viz in Sydney?

It's usually the best in winter (2024 Jul spike) but last year it was super nice in summer as well (first spike shown)
