So long, Google Chrome. The last straw has come.

I finally deleted my Twitter account. Even having an inactive account felt icky. And really really awful and gross over the last couple of days.

Lots of people with Covid at my workplace. I think the worst I’ve seen.

Today: A Coopers Hawk at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge. #CoopersHawk #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography Coopers Hawk in a brightly lit tree. It is hunting up high. It has brown bars on its tail and brown stripes on its neck.

Gray Buckeye Butterfly today at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge. #Fujifilm #GrayBuckeye #Butterfly Gray Buckeye butterfly among weeds with tinier yellow flowers. The butterfly has three eyes on each wing. It is orange, brown, gray and white with a fuzzy body.

Weather was nice today! Summer is waning and so I guess outdoor photography season can begin. Here are a few dragonflies enjoying an overcast and hazy day. #Fujifilm

An in-flight green dragon fly against a blue sky.A long view to the Northern California Coast range. It's a hazy and overcast day. Oaks and rolling golden hills are in front of some rugged mountains.Within a muddy area with green algae, a stick juts out and a red striped dragonfly rests at the stick's end. The insect has red patches at the ends of its transparent wings.

Here’s a reminder that Fujifilm’s X RAW Studio stores its camera profiles at

~/Library/Application Support/com.fujifilm.denji/X RAW STUDIO

It’s a great way to keep an archive of film recipes and very easily load them to your cameras. Copy an FP1 file for a specific camera, rename it, edit it, save it, and then load it to your camera in X RAW Studio. I’m thankful that text config files are still in fashion.

Hooray, season 5 of Matt Groening’s Disenchantment is out!

I’m always surprised now when Netflix releases another season of a show I enjoy.😊

I’ve been learning ArcGIS Pro cartography and I like what I’m finding. However the interface is like a big experiment and it is confusing. But it’s really nice to have fine control over data, symbols, & labels at many different scales without duplicating layers. #GIS

I managed to write an ugly Python script that converts MesoWest (via Synoptic download; nice people there btw) CSV weather data to WeatherCat (macOS software) data. I did some QAQC and it’s a good conversion. I’m pleased. Nice to finally have locally stored & accessible historical weather data.
