Happy Belated Birthday!

I can appreciate lazy. I had a nice dinner at, Asa Restaurant in Los Gatos. Had a tasty New York Strip washed down with an old fashioned and an IPA that I didn't catch the name of. Not bad for a Wednesday. Have some planned excursion Saturday which is a surprise 🤷‍♀️

Happy belated! I hope it was good.

Infecting the next generation. Andrew's new ride is a leftover Specialized Fuse Sport. Specialized stopped making the bike in 2022 but had made so many that dealers still had them and they were blowing them out. Original MSRP $2400, paid $999. Bought one for Lily two years ago for $1600 and thought that was a screaming deal. Can't wait to get him out on the trails if it would ever stop raining around here.

Happy birthday, Rob! We should get the Bay Area gang together again soon!

Oops.. Happy belated birthday Rob! cheers..

Whoops! Meant to post and forgot, Rob! Steve had a good run as the birthday czar and the rest of us got lazy! Hope you had a good day with some great beer. Cheers!

Mr. Polaroid (full doc)

I'm currently listening to an "Arcadia" album you might like better.

For jealous users of other systems you have options https://www.polarpro.com/products/lightleak-lens/

"...you can add a (randomly-assigned) light-leak..." 🤣

"Fujifilm’s X Half camera is so dedicated to the analog vibes, it can’t shoot RAW" https://www.theverge.com/news/672268/fujifilm-x-half-digital-compact-camera-fixed-lens-analog-price-specs

Maybe I was a little cynical on the initial X half reception. https://www.techradar.com/cameras/compact-cameras/fujifilms-x-half-is-a-tiny-retro-compact-thats-big-on-wacky-film-photography-features-and-i-love-it

Even In Arcadia by Sleep Token (2025) https://album.link/wrrmhmkp0rqpq Example: Second listen through this album, before I go back to Copland. It is a good album. But listening to the album, which is what I do, it does become a bit samey for me. Any individual song hits pretty hard. But song after song they seem formulaic. Start slow, with some soft vocals, transition into some rapping and harder bits, then head into the screaming section and then break it back down before the end. Works great for one track, but not as an album for me. Production and playing is still great.

Unfortunately LT1236 has also insane price. SUPSIC produces GC2M1000170D 100% the same specs as C2M1000170D, costs 1.5$.

^ Keep posting! The most hated camera of 2025 will be released tomorrow. Sounds kinda fun. Too bad about the $150 Orange Tax.
