Ever since I started scooping the crema off the top of my coffee, it’s been a much better experience.

Echos of the 1962 World’s Fair. We are so lucky to have this stuff in our city.

A great night out with friends!

During our block party yesterday, it came up that none of us get very good over-the-air TV reception due to the local topography in Leschi. It would be awesome if @theseattlecouncil passed a rule to require OTA broadcasters to provide free digital streams of their channels to area residents.

You can read a book forever
Something I’ve been thinking about lately is: How do we deal with archival of the written word in the digital age?
When someone publishes a physical book, a CD, or a Blu-ray, that content is out there forever so long as copies exist in the wild. When someone publishes a video to YouTube it only really exists so long as the channel author and/or YouTube wills it to be. Same problem for software and services, photos, web pages, and streaming audio. It’s very difficult to return years later after a video has been pulled by the creator to be able to find it again, although sporadic archives do appear to exist if you’re lucky.
In a world that relies more and more on ephemeral digital distribution and infrastructure, I worry greatly about how much information about today will actually be available to future historians looking back on our society centuries from now. For me, it was a hassle trying to locate a video from 2011 that was pulled from the DigitalRev TV YouTube channel:

On the show front, we’ve been watching the Seattle edition of Married at First Sight lately, but also we just plowed through the first season of Ted Lasso. It’s so good!

Block party with the neighbors tonight. First one since I’ve lived here. Great turnout. Spent two hours with everybody. Was really refreshing to chat with folks face to face!

Primary elections are today. When I filled out my ballot, the thought in the back of my head was to try to responsibly vote out all incumbents, and to preference upstart leftists over Democratic Party loyalists. In practice, when it came to the courts, I didn’t feel like we had very good choices.

From the Blue Angels performance at Seafair in 2014. I love that you can see the guy in the cockpit and read all kinds of stuff on his plane!

Speaking of ATP: Don’t miss this week’s episode (702) in which John emphatically proclaims that Long Island has the “best beaches in the world.” 🤪 I adore this show.

That was in ATP 649: atp.fm/649

Excited to try bemotrizinol in US sunblocks when it releases. Been using French imported sunscreen since last year’s ATP episode where Marco flagged avobenzone as the culprit behind eye sting. Now trying a Japanese import.

We rode Limes back to the house from the show. The moon looked amazing! 🌕
