Technology with heart. Learning with practice. Photography, words, appreciation. Seattle -> Vancouver -> Victoria, BC.

There is nobody under the age of 55 who remembers seeing astronauts return to earth like this

Greetings from Tofino, B.C. where thousands of By-the-Wind Sailors (a close but not deadly relative of the Portuguese man o' war) have washed up on shore!

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I love this 1940s ad for a holiday at Qualicum Beach. With war time restrictions on gas, rubber, metals, etc, staying on the Island and taking the train was a great option.

Anyway, we don’t have a train anymore.

Belle da Costa Greene developed the personal library of JP Morgan, bought many very fancy books, and worked on making them available to the public. There are two novels based on her life. She destroyed most of her private papers before her death. #BlackHistoryMonth

it's #SuperbOwl Sunday! Best day of the year. For your consideration, the Blakiston's fish owl. Largest owls in the world (six-foot wingspans, weigh close to a bald eagle), salmon eaters, live year-round in remote forests of northeast Asia. 🦉

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

I need a break from the relentless (bad!) news, so I'm poking through some recent photos, and I figured hey, maybe you want a momentary break as well. So here are four of those photos. All by me.
