My friend Matt Smith illustrated a book detailing Viking history from a drunk Bostonian's point of view. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy (and you would), the Kickstarter is coming down to the wire! I'm the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy!

[One thing that I have to keep reminding myself is that I mirror my Mastodon on Bluesky (@zipmartini.com) as well as my Pixelfed (@zipmartini.photography). I'm certain Bluesky will descend into enshittification as inevitably as entropy takes everything else, so it's not front-of-mind.]

It's really hit me lately how my photography — creating it, sharing it, curating it — never really recovered from Flickr's demise.

Hey! You're funny on the internet!

Ha, Feedly just tried to upsell me on a paid tier that will allow following of Bluesky accounts... as if an "application/rss+xml" link didn't already exist in the Ctrl-U of every user's profile page. I've already been following all of you on Feedly for a couple of months now.

I'm just testing how much data can get packed into a URL here. The attached itty.bitty should generate the Declaration of Independence.

I'm here.
