Can't Sleep; Thinking About Watching Powerful Freight Trains Pass The Windows Of The Coast Starlight

I love that we have a miles-wide reminder of the power of nature that we can just go look at any time. Mt. St. Helens was pretty before, but when you can stand next to stripped and blasted tree trunks wider than you can put your arms around seven miles from the crater it really adds a new layer to the beauty.

I love this art, incredible work!

Mt. St. Helens

I’ll have limited copies of this in print at VanCAF17 this weekend, come see me at table D-11!

This is exactly why I made my own website(s). They're .005% as polished as a social media profile but the only limits to what I can create are my own skills and imagination. It loads in a tiny fraction of a second because it's pure HTML. You can also get your friends in on it and make a little web ring! The old web isn't dead yet, if anything it's having a bit of a renaissance with places like neocities.

if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html

So I see you all are exhausted by streaming services effectively recreating cable. I see you’re all tired of ads. Pirating is a great alternative, but I have another fantastic option for you all!

I live in Seattle. And in Seattle we have America’s largest physical media store, Scarecrow Video. They are a non-profit that has pretty much any film or tv show you can imagine. Like, everything. So much so that one of our local cinemas does a program with them called “Unstreamable” where they show a film from Scarecrow’a archive that you can’t access anywhere online. It’s a bit overwhelming to go to their store, which is two levels of every program under the sun.

ANYWAY, I bring this up because they recently started a Rent-by-Mail program. It’s pretty similar to what Netflix used to do. You can rent up to six titles (barring their super rare stuff and pornos) and they will ship it to you, then you return it in the included pre-paid envelope.

Why does this rock? Sure, you still have to pay money, BUT you are supporting a non-profit that is dedicated to preserving media instead of some corporation looking for endless profit. They can also expand your palette with their vast selection. And if you have a favorite piece of media, you never have to worry about it disappearing! All their stuff is there in perpetuity.

So this is all to say, now that Scarecrow has expanded their reach beyond the Greater Seattle Area, I implore you to check them out. If you don’t want to rent right now, the could always use donations to keep them afloat.

You can check out their catalogue HERE!

Friend using his T3. He still maintains it';s the best camera we saw at the camera expo, and I find it hard to disagree...

the “humans are inherently selfish” fanclub can genuinely and in all honesty go to hell. i once came back from a school yard where the kids had heaped piles of leaves and cut wildflowers on a narrow strip of grass bc a bee had died. i actually want to cry.
