What you're looking at is not a galaxy cluster deep in the solar system, but actually a supermoon I captured around 12:30 this morning! We didn't get much of the big orange harvest moon we were supposed to (I think out west, it was brighter and more orangey), but it didn't stop me from going out in the dead of night, surrounded by the rustles of wildlife, trying to get some retro digicam photos of it. The PhotoCam's ones far and away came out the best. Caby described them as biblical, which is Read more
Happy September, everyone! Hope all my fellow Americans had a nice Labor Day weekend, and all my fellow not-Americans had a nice weekend anyway. The big announcement of today: the archives redesign is finally live! The original variant of archives was always meant to be pretty simple and quick, and I think five years living with it has been long enough. It's still up, funnily enough, on archives.

The last week dawns! Actually, this is the last five days in Wales or so. It's not quite hit me yet.

Everyone save the guinea pigs has started up an hour plus long conversation with Read more
I return home. The trip was, and I don't say this lightly, life-changing. Genuinely phenomenal stuff.

Literally before it was over we were checking flight prices for January so we can spend our next anniversary together too (and I can enjoy some Welsh Read more
Well, I dropped the ball on the journal thing. It's not that there aren't a lot of really fantastic legitimate real-world goings-on in my life right now! It's that I also collapsed a bit under the holiday retail joy and not being able to finish anything out of a mountain of drawings and site pages.
