Dad, husband, nerd, photographer, Wikimedian, WordPress...er? I care about people over tech and how the latter impacts the former. I work at the Wikimedia Foundation. Stupid things I say are my own and do not reflect the views of the Foundation.

The new Google Sheets icon looks more like Microsoft Excel (derogatory)

A screenshot of the new Google Sheets icon. It's a weird rectangle with a blue fade on the left and a green blob on the right. Another darker green rectangle is behind it to the left. On top of the icon is two perpendicular lines intersecting in the bottom right.

@bsky.app How do I disable this feature? I don't want algorithmic suggestions like this in my feed.

Finally got around to sorting through the thousands of photos I took while in Japan. Here's a few more quiet abstract ones I enjoyed. More on Flickr. www.flickr.com/photos/theko... #photography #fujifilm #x100vi

a soft orange bench in a subway car illuminated by the sun pouring in from the window. It has a mellow 1970s vibe in the color and design.

A triangle shape cut into the side of a Japanese fort. Looking out the triangle you see light and the texture of the water below.

A frosted floor to ceiling window peering into an office building at night. The florescent lights can be seen while the rest of the interior is blurry.

Well-worn turquoise and gray steps lead up to a pedestrian walkway.

This is some great news from the folks at Flickr! #flickr #photography #CreativeCommons

A long-awaited upgrade!
Creative Commons 4.0 arriving soon to Flickr.
Hi Chris Koerner,
This June, Flickr is rolling out support for version 4.0 of the Creative Commons license suite - the most global, legally robust licenses produced by CC yet.
Here's what's in it for you:
• If your account defaults to one of the six Creative Commons 2.0 licenses, we'll automatically upgrade it to 4.0 for all your future uploads. Easy peasy -no clicks required.
• Your existing photos with CC 2.0 licenses? They'll stay just as they are unless you decide to update them.
• Prefer other license types or dedication tools? Not to worry— those won't be affected by this change.
Creative Commons 4.0 brings clearer terms, better international usability, and more flexibility for creators like you. We're excited to support a stronger, smarter future for open sharing on Flickr.
Got questions? Our Support Heroes are here to help.

I had a great first-time experience at #Shutterfest this year. I'm working on editing some of the photos from the different classes I took. Here's a few first takes. It was fun getting guidance from professionals and being matched up with some friendly and chill models. #photography #nikon #d800

The fun thing is looking at the photos I have taken and added to Commons and seeing that they have over 2 million combined views. Not accurate at all to say 2 million _people_ have seen my photos, but still an impressive number and encouragement to upload more.
