Drove by one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus, expecting them to be closed, but found they have new hours and are open on Tuesdays. Went inside and found that today’s special is potato & cheese pierogies. Oh, and the heat broke and it’s sunny and 75 degrees. #perfectday

We had gone over to my grandparents’ house to watch the landing and the moon walk because they had a color TV, and we only had a black and white set. That’s pretty funny when you consider that the live video from the moon was in black and white….

At this moment 50 years ago, I was glued to the TV. It was ten days before my sixth birthday, which to my mind, is the perfect age to be when man first walked on the moon. Old enough to remember, young enough to be totally impressionable. And space was The Coolest Thing.

Best song about the Apollo 11 moon landing would have to be Public Service Broadcasting’s “Go”. I think I’m going to have this on repeat all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHIo6qwJarI Except for the times I’m listening to the rest of their “The Race For Space” album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZyLwfrDyjc

So much this. My degree is in broadcasting. What I loved about it was that I got to use tech skills in the service of creativity. TV, radio, whatever, it worked that way, and it was incredibly satisfying. When I discovered the web, I recognized that it pushed the same buttons. https://twitter.com/SaraSoueidan/status/1150324539248840704

@EMULSIVEfilm @danrubin One more pack film failure: overexposed FP-100C that looks like a negative, and that photo (shot at noon) inverted in Photoshop and looking like night https://t.co/oLm85JCoyy

@SaraSoueidan My usual response when someone says they’re a full-stack engineer is that they know everything from JavaScript on the front end all the way to JavaScript on the back end.

@MerriMayhem No pre-advice here, but I did get mail asking to confirm my address saying it would ship in the “next few days”. Will be nice to have a tank I can load without having to wait for it to get dark outside, especially at this time of year....

@stephaniehobson @stefsull If we can claim that “hey guys!” Is gender neutral, there damned well ought to be something from the other side that serves the same purpose.

@ootpek @msjen @Ancestry Ancestry doesn’t own http://Geni.com. MyHeritage does. Which is not to say that Ancestry doesn’t suck, just that any changes to Geni, at least, aren’t it’s fault.

@danrubin @gmunchiez Pretty much the only game in town if you want B&W positives. I have five rolls of AGFA Scala 120 that they’re going to get eventually. Interested in your experience with them. Keep us posted.
