Saturday
Panorama from today. I enjoy riding waves quite a lot. I went to Ocean Beach. Kelly went to San Diego Design Week. I updated my avatar on lots of services. It was a bit easier to do on my Elsewhere page. I also added it (still out of order and with duplicates) to my “PFP”...

PB; HTML Historical Re-enactment
Panorama from Pacific Beach Today Session in the water was “meh” today. When the session is dull I will sometimes muse on what words apply to it. “Desultory” came up a few times. Also I didn’t have an accurate definition of that word in my head. I think I meant something closer to “dismal” or...

Gwen; AI; Fins
I updated gwenthegoblin.com with a backup of everything (from the beginning to May) using Memento Mori. Here’s the GitHub issue I participated in. I will be doing this again. I added to a page I started many months ago, with links to how AI is talked about and characterized. It’s my ‘AI’ is… page For...

On Theranos
Elizabeth Holmes is in the news. In 2019 Alex Gibney released a documentary on what that company did and how it operated. It was called The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley. I watched it on HBO. I can remember the feeling of watching it. It made me angry. What follows is an adaptation...

Switched to the Yucca fins. One handplane. Things are changed; things are good.

Officially: fins lost
The blue-with-white tips DaFin fins which I’ve had for several years are officially lost. I mentioned yesterday in Good News; Bad News that on a big wave both my fins came off. As is my habit, I returned to the same beach the day after to look and see if they’d washed up or been...

Good News; Bad News
Here’s what I texted to Kelly this morning after I went in the water: The good news is I learned I’m not allergic to bees, the bad news is I lost both fins in a very violent wave. The other good news is that I’m fine. I don’t like losing a fin. But I’ve lost...

Who’s that gull?
Forgive the pun. Who does this gull think they are? I’m checking the surf cameras on Surfline, and notice this gull in the way. Like–excuse me. Can you do your morning groom somewhere else please? Alas, birds will bird the way they want to bird. Yesterday I did maintenance on some even older parts of...

That’s Swell
Like I do, very often, I went to Pacific Beach Today. Here’s the panoramic photo I took before I went in the water. Here’s the Bing maps rendition of the spot. How impossibly blue is that water? The current was strong. I had an instinct that the current was strong and north. That’s the state...

Today was a good day
Today was really fun. The conversation at Front End Study Hall was rich. We discussed email, including a library I’ve yet to try called MJML which allows creating a unified file which compiles into html code which renders consistently in the many different mail programs. I’m not using it for my newsletter (yet?), but I...

Low pressure is headed our way, weather-wise. Hurricanes offshore, they say. It remains to be seen what weather we’ll get. In the meantime, I enjoy the water.

I agree with 1999-me about the web
In 1999 in answer to a comment that read: Check it out if you don’t believe me. I thought that cross-browser compatibility meant that everything looked the same in both browser, but I guess not. Here’s what I wrote: Cross-browser compatibility does NOT mean that everything looks the same everywhere. It means that I have...

WOCA, Saturday
On Saturday I exhibited work at WOCA. It was a wonderful time. Kelly was very supportive. I have a passel of photos yet to post and I want to add the pieces I made to my art page in the next week. I’ve been to WOCA several times with friends, and this is the third...

I’ve started a newsletter
You’re welcome to subscribe. See https://artlung.com/newsletter/ I’m committed to doing this on Mondays for a year. Let’s see how it goes. I’m using Buttondown and did some custom programming against the existing things I make to generate a markdown file which I can then use inside Buttondown. That address again: https://artlung.com/newsletter/

Friday, variance
I will be showing at WOCA again this weekend. Saturday. A selection of works made from found objects at the beach. I’ll post photos in the future. But come on down to WOCA and I’ll be there. I hope it’ll be fun. We may get food from The Hat afterwards. Art Spiegelman remains an influence...

Losing one of my handplanes last week has inadvertently unlocked new ride approaches. Progress is not linear. Progress and serendipity are sometimes aligned.

Hey let’s update websites!
Among the older things I put on the web were fansites: Bebe Ads Ronny Vardy Fan Stew & The Negro Problem Lyrics These are run with WordPress. I did some maintenance on them today. Not particularly interesting, but it keeps me busy. I added SoundCloud to my feed patterns list page, kind of obvious to...

Sunday Chill
Panorama, Sunday It’s been foggy the last few mornings at the beach. And the weather has been hotter. The water temperature has been colder. I’m working on things. Making adjustments. Riding waves, both water and metaphorical. What wave it next?

Chuck Tingle and the Internet
Beth Accomando interviewing Chuck Tingle Kelly got us tickets to see Chuck Tingle speak at KPBS San Diego Book Festival. It was a hot day and it was great to peruse the booths and the energy of the folks walking the USD campus was terrific. Aside: I got to tell Kelly (again) that my parents,...
