TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions) in Seattle's airspace for Seafair week(end).

A smattering of TFRs in Seattle’s airspace this week.

The FAA’s way of saying “hey bozo, don’t get cute with your dinky lil Cessna around the maneuvering F-18 Hornets. You know what, not even around the parked F-18 Hornets.”

“Correction: Super Hornets.”

Book forewords are almost never good enough for the book that follows. The one notable exception I can think of is Steve Almond’s foreword for Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed.

A person riding a One Wheel in the bike lane in Capitol Hill, Seattle.

It’s far from being technically good as a photo, but there’s something so light and fun about this shot and I like it a lot.

I feel like a blinked and lost six months.

If you have or are thinking of getting the Fujifilm X100V, you might’ve missed some big news.

Fujifilm just released the new XApp along with v3.0 of the camera firmware, and image transfer actually works now! This solves my biggest X100V complaint, and makes using it for travel/street even better.

Initial observations from initial days with iPadOS Developer Beta:

  • Surprisingly stable. No crashes yet.
  • Universal Control still works.
  • Lock screen widgets are great. You can have so many.
  • Health app is already working and syncing with iOS.
  • Slightly faster battery drain esp when sleeping.
