"Going thirty-eight Dan, chill the fuck out, mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down"

---

Back after giving myself a month away from Fedi.

I'll attempt to curate my experience much more, starting with this account and instance.
I want comfy things in my life - I don't need to be adding stress and angst from my online interactions. We can do better. We should do better. Including myself.

My interests cover #tech, #photography, #biking, #motorsport, #fountainpen, and other things I will no doubt need to add here when I remember.
I touch computers in my spare time and self host things. Oh yeah so #selfhosting I guess.
In my other spare time I renovate my house and do #DIY stuff.

Oh and I (used to?) play music. #Guitar I still have and sometimes play, #Saxophone I used to have a couple of decades ago, I had 6 months of Drum lessons, and played Bass for our school band in Rockquest in the late 90's.
I have never done anything that cool since.

Oh I live in New Zealand, Aotearoa.

Thrilled to learn that the thagomizer is now generally called the thagomizer because of the thagomizer Far Side cartoon.

Of course in reality the stegosaurus and Thag Simmons did not co-exist.

@ewen I think I have 2 competing modes in photography: Sometimes, I want to represent the reality I see as accurately as possible. Other times, I want to make art with this machine that interprets reality.

I am looking for like-minded people in the fediverse for sharing thoghts, projects and information about woodworking, woodcarving and especially spoon carving. How can I find these people?
Are there any existing groups or servers with these topics?
Retoots / Boosts are appreciated!

"Efficiency strips away the goodness of the world. You should always allow for great deals of inefficiency to make a nice designed city, a nice designed system. Not only does it destroy the good things, it takes money and gives it to the worst people: platform creators & tech people. And it’s not like things are cheaper or better. Money is being transferred to the wrong people instead of creators and people who make the world a better place through community & creation."

@dan How incredible that you should say that, there is a short tunnel nearby in Atrani featuring a small exhibition of the works of MC Escher - here it is from that same day!

Emily 'Feeds Spiders' Velasco

Edited 1 month ago

I was at a bar tonight and some guy was bothering me. I asked him if he was into pegging and he was like, "No, I'm Catholic," and i said, "What's that got to do with it?"

He said, "I'm not into pagan holidays."
