The holdout.

I’ve been on a Tim Armstrong musical universe kick this week. Operation Ivy, Rancid, and Transplants on repeat.

I’m at a store and I’ve been waiting 45 minutes for a stock person to get something out of the back. This is why people prefer to shop online.

Some time at the vise.

A nice Jack in the Pulpit I noticed this afternoon.

Took some stream water samples today for eDNA testing. Saw some bloodroot and Jack in the Pulpit.

Video tip: If you need portrait orientation/9:16 phone video, choose New > App Preview in iMovie.

I’m glad that works, but it is wild that we need to use workarounds in Apple’s pre-installed video editing app to edit videos from iPhones in their standard orientation.

What should I make with these ramps?

I used to want digital, internet-connected everything. Now I want:

• A pomodoro timer that actually looks like a tomato and has zero chips or digital displays.
• A wind up mechanical watch.
• A dryer without internet connection.
• No voice assistants in the house.
