Pretty sure this is a sign of the Apocalypse.
Starting next week I’m going to be teaching 16mm film digitizing and editing to three rotations of film preservation MFA students at the Selznick School. I’m not sure I have enough bow ties for this.

For Christmas, Your Government Will Explain Why...
Lowering the Bar summarizes: The government dropped a bomb on a U.S. citizen, who, though a total dick and probably a criminal, may have been engaged only in propaganda, which, though despicable, is generally protected by the First Amendment; it did so without a trial or even an indictment (that we know of), based at least in part on evidence it says it has but won’t show anyone, and...

Did you know there is actually such a thing called...
And that there are companies dedicated exclusively to their manufacture and sales? I didn’t either. Until just now. I had no idea that cows needed waterbeds at all, let alone fancy dual chambered ones. There is so much about the cheese-making process that I don’t know.

Missed connection
You: a gorgeous Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM. Me: I stared at you while you sat in the display case. I know you noticed me too, with your big glass eye. You’ve been used. I could tell. The minor scars on your skin told me that you’ve lived through a lot. But I can love you. Oh yes, I can take care of you. We can do beautiful things together. Wait for me?

Truthful Tuesday: Owning Up to Ignorance Edition
I actually enjoy saying “I don’t know” when I honestly don’t know something.

As a result, they keep on not knowing stuff. But I...

I am terrible at saying "No."
Instead, I say, “Oh, you’d like me to do something for you, outside of my normal skill set, immediately, and for free, regardless of the Real Paying Work I have to do? Sure. I’ll get right on it.”
