Folks, say hi to the retrocam you'll be seeing my upcoming Wales trip through. If you're a longtime Cammy fan, you'll probably remember my multiple run-ins with the AOL PhotoCam, and I was eager to not repeat those mistakes by buying an actual digicam from a reputable brand this time. I was a little hesitant to go Canon, only because I thought the sample images looked a little too good for the specifically hazy, shitty look I prefer from my retro digicams, but I've decided that usability Read more

I keep forgetting to make this post, but it's only been a few days, no harm done. No, not the Justin Bieber song, though that certainly is on brand given that 2010s nostalgia is ripe in the group these days. A chance encounter at a thrift store! With sixteen burned copies of a student film from New York: I don't normally go to thrift stores. I don't have anything against them, but they've always felt a little sad to me, a reminder of what extreme poverty looks like. Is what it is. After a Read more
Brief moment before we begin: Go check out hifi's game review section! I just spent an evening capturing a ton of screenshots from real hardware for a bunch of games, both ones I've streamed and ones I haven't, and I'll be posting new ones on Fridays for the next few weeks until the pool runs out. Use the RSS feed to your advantage, and stick around for more to come. So as I alluded to in the post from the other day, there's one other idea I've had for the cammy.somnol refresh that I've started Read more
So my website focus over the past year or so has been returning mari.somnol to prominence, and on all accounts, we're there. It's not even basically, all the important stuff is in place, plus a ton of the non-important stuff. Everything I wanted, the three flavors for any browser, the theme switcher on hifi, PHP album/game reviews, stories for all three sites that can be built from a central document, they're here. Aside from a few drawings and more content, mari.somnol is complete. That brings Read more
Library sale started up yesterday! You might remember last year's post about it where I picked up a bunch of music and Redwall audiobooks, and we went again today. I love library sales and flea markets and the less-traveled end of music hunting, because you never know what you'll find and you'll usually pay a lot less. True, I may stumble into five copies of Cher's Believe, but then you'll find a copy of Editors' The Back Room for $1 and it becomes the best album you've heard all year! Not to Read more
Been working on getting back on the art wagon, so here's some designs! I used to be really skittish about designing my own characters for whatever reason, but something about that's been starting to break recently, and I'm rather excited about it. I don't know if I've ever fully explained what the whole Superkitty thing is here on the journal, but I ended up with two different anthro cats this year with head floof, namely Miranda and Prince, and started pondering ways I could group them. The Read more
