A retired high-tech glassblower, lifelong learner and critical digital humanist, I glean meaning from experiences and tell stories.
Born in Hollywood the year James Dean died, grew up in Nixon's Whittier as Disney's land metasticized in nearby Orange County.
I worked in "Surveillance Valley" for 20 years.
Now back in Whittier.

Like many former daily creators, I don’t spend as much time on social media as I used to and drifted away. Now that and are on Mastodon, I’m an occasional creator again.

Lol, I swear I don't go a day now without someone mentioning #enshittification or @pluralistic

Screenshot from youtube of a video titled "Streaming killed piracy then brought it back by accident" that shows the moment where it mentions Cory Doctorow and the term "enshittification".

@creating Recycling Daily Shoot Shoot a close-up of something with interesting texture today.
My memories of visiting South Bend, Indiana, my father’s hometown, include the Studebaker Museum and this patterned tile storefront. I use it as the wallpaper on my phone.

Jonathan Winters was one of the most creative people I've ever seen. And I got to meet him and shake his hand at an antique show!

Write a Halloween Story that Will Scare Someone into Doing a Daily Create
I posted this digital story earlier today, and although it is more involved than the usual Daily Create, it’s a short noir story perfect for Halloween. (3 min.)

Dear Mastodon,
Can the 'Hide', 'ALT', and 'Play' buttons be off the images? Sometimes the important parts of the image are in the corners, or the center.
Thanks for your consideration, and all the work you do.

Recycling Daily Shoot . Find an interesting shadow today and make a photo of it. And I’m recycling a shadow photo, with pumpkins for the season, and squared for these newfangled federated thingamabobs.
