Wil Wheaton: “I wish I really were a Traveler of all of space and time, so I could go to him, one final time, and tell him how much he means to me. I think he knew, but still.”

Recorded this familiar song on, I believe, the same day that I met Patrick Stewart. He signed this Ressikan flute I purchased from Morgan Gendel, who wrote The Inner Light.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard
This one is a gut punch. I looked up to the character he portrayed, Captain Picard, with awe and reverence. He encapsulated everything that was good and optimistic about a future that feels today as though it is rapidly slipping away from us. We grew up in this world that felt like anything was possible; that things would inevitably only get better as human progress marched on and new technologies were created to solve problems, but just about everything in the post-9/11 world has pointed in the opposite direction, pushing back against that idea hard. That we’ll get a world with less freedom and more power and wealth accumulated in the few and powerful. It’s tough to be idealistic in a world that keeps rewarding selfishness, pessimism, and apathy. Everything that the Federation represents stands in opposition to the current state of things. I hope that things get better on this troubled planet, but today I’m just sad that we lost such a talented actor who brought us such a beautiful character through whose eyes we were empowered to glimpse, for just a moment, a world we’ll probably not live long enough to see.

The Corridor Crew has delivered some bangin' new VFX software!

My hypothesis is that these older batteries just don’t put out enough power to run the M8 properly. It now feels like I’m able to freely use up to ISO 2500 on it.

I recently migrated my entire photo back catalog to Lightroom Classic. Getting here was a very agonizing process, but I’m very glad it’s done now. I think it will be much better for me going forward.

My Leica M8 has suffered from horizontal banding issues for a while, which bummed me out. I was less inspired to use it. But I discovered tonight that the issue is likely not the shutter or the board at all, but actually the battery. Replacing it appears to have eliminated the issue entirely!

A project that I’m watching is ILLUMinator, which is new tool that manages Lytro cameras and libraries on modern desktop OSes. abstractpolygon.github.io/ILLUMinat…

There are far too many candidates running unopposed this year on my ballot. I find it difficult to believe there wasn’t a single person out there to run for all those roles. Democracy is supposed to be a marketplace of ideas, so it doesn’t bode well if we are only getting preselected defaults.

Let’s pour one out for Sears in Shoreline, WA. I did two stints there before college. Opened in 1967, it was a massive building that was far bigger than the portion that was open to the public by the time I got there. www.shorelineareanews.com/2026/09/s…

Sometimes you just gotta crop. Also, who lives in that insane looking house down center?

Hanalei is such a beautiful place.

I am thinking of the people of Kaua’i, who welcomed us onto their island and gave us unforgettable experiences. Now, I’ve gone home and they are still there. Power is out. Comms are limited. It’s hot and muggy and there’s no escape. Basic amenities like refrigeration don’t exist. Don’t forget them.

Made it home! 🎉
