I think my cat had a nightmare? Was watching a movie, he was on the back of the couch, sleeping. Suddenly he "gasps" and is on his feet, hissing at me. This went on for a couple minutes. *Very* upset about something. Nothing I or the movie would have done to startle him, either. Odd! Cat tax ⬇️

Also snagged a haul of coffee beans up in Portland, from PDX Coffee Club. Started with the Proud Mary since it's already a month off roast. Getting Earl Gray / black tea vibes, which tastes OK-ish, but clearly too astringent. Not sure how to adjust tho. 1:16, 90c, 3:00 TBT (v60).

The speech bubble meme format is, hands down, my favorite in years.

Adobe going full slop in the latest version of Lightroom. Bummer.

Screenshot of a bullet point from the Lightroom release notes: "Turn your photos into short videos with custom or preset text prompts to quickly bring your creative ideas to life."

Screenshot from Adobe's docs on how to prompt a video from an image, in Lightroom: "In the Generate Video dialog box, select the options from the following dropdown menu before generating a video:

Model: Select Firefly Video, Google Veo 3.1, or Google Veo 3.1 Fast partner model.
Aspect ratio: Select the width and height ratio for the video.

The most cursed setting in Windows. I have never encountered a scenario where this does anything useful.

ProGrade is raising its memory card prices 30-100+% in Japan next week. Only 3-4% of that is due to weak Yen. Have to imagine other markets and other companies will be following suit soon...

lmao the "social media doesn't have to suck" crew seem intent on making it suck

Response by me, to a post from @pfrazee.com about how "the response to Jay's post about the 'you must hate waffles' meme proves her point"

Man, come on. "Waffles" is about folks overreacting to harmless choices in taste. Y'all have twisted it to avoid addressing real concerns. Team needs to take a day off from posting.

I know gigabit internet is nothing new, but I marvel at the fact that in 15 minutes I can pull what would have taken *8 months* when I was a kid on my first internet connection. Magic, tbh.

Someone in the esports photog discord was diving into Darktable, so I decided to try it out too. The docs are hella outdated and the UI is inscrutable, but capabilities are impressive. This clean of a fix for mono-color lighting would be a nightmare in other software, but DT did it with two sliders.

It almost didn't happen, too! Only caught two clicks with the game up, before it swapped over to the Champion graphic! Not a bad shot either, but definitely doesn't hit the same.
