mastodon 4.7.3I live in Seattle and am mostly interested in local stuff. I take lots of photos of nature and like to ride bicycles, motorbikes, dirtbikes, anything with wheels and balance. I also really like insects and moss so expect plenty of photos of that too.

this lens is so picky but I finally made it shine today. I am calling this bird a tern of some variety. Anyone care to help me out with an identification? Take in Seattle, Washington near Elliott Bay

I think this would make a good October phone wall paper
dorsal and ventral view, same specimen. Happy Spooktober!
guess who has a craigslist telescope (Orion short tube 114mm aperture 1000mm distance f8.8) and a cell phone camera?
shooting video like this hand held is tough! But my spider friend is eating well
*Araneus diadematus*
I take so many photos of these /Araneus diadematus/ but I just love them so much. This one is sharing my kitchen space with me and I've been feeding her the gnats that live in my over-watered plants.
some local Volvos I saw today
tried carrying the tripod on my dirt jumper. Not very easy combination but worth the effort if only I could figure out how to use my autofocus

this squirrel seemed very hungry
I've been seeing a lot more people on skates around town this summer so I decided to freshen up my in-lines with new bearings and wheels.

@tonyg@pubsub.leastfixedpoint.com yeah but I crack up every time a "serious business" commercial assures me their product is "hallucination free"
@c0debabe@masto.hackers.town when it took you exactly six time longer than it should have to do something

@trigonella@social.seattle.wa.us I've been trying but I don't think my equipment is compatible yet
@privateger however when I do get good it's not so much an accomplishment as it's other stuff I've avoided a whole lot

@sue I've made a decent living for myself over the last twenty or so years of my career. One thing I tell everything is that I read 10-50 times more code than I write. Writing code is easy.
In fact, reading code is the primary way my team shares with other devs how to do something. The conversation goes, "Hey, I need to do something and I think you said you did something like it, where did you do that?" answer, "It's in module xyz on branch abc. Let me know if you have any questions."
thats it
how did these two become such good friends?
