Primarily mastodon. Really enjoying that.
Facebook for relatives & friends from the real world.
Flyers & silkscreened posters by friends.
I do a lot of photography for a museum. In documenting historic artifacts (as in journalism) you're not supposed to do any post processing. Not that I'd use a phone camera for those photos, but it's an issue as those features creep into more serious cameras.
The entire Muppet Movie is about going to Hollywood to make The Muppet Movie.
And of course, the ending of Holy Mountain.
Weird. I've programmed tek vector graphics terminals, and I'd never heard about this before today.
Actually, what's really cool is the giant vector displays a few companies made in the 60s:
Worked with a murderer who was living under a fake name, back in the 90s. But he was actually fine.
There were probably terrible people at that job, but I don't remember... Oh, the first actual real, live creationist I ever met was at that job.
I've had amazing luck with hobbys that should be expensive, but weren't.
Me & some friends have a small computer museum. We collect minicomputers & workstations. (Stuff used in science & academia.) We have computers dating back to the early 60s. But we started in the mid 90s, when NO ONE was interested. So we got everything for free. (Well... for the cost of renting large trucks.)
I'm a photographer. My DSLR is old, from just when DSLR's were getting "good enough" at a reasonable price. I bought it used when it was already "obsolete". And then someone gave me an exotic industrial camera they had at work which was "broken". It was too broken for industrial use, but works fine for studio use. I had to build some hardware & write all the software to use it, but... the results are fantastic. It blows away my DSLR. (But uses the same lenses!)
My library has probably cost a lot, but that's spread out over 40 years, so I don't notice it. (Also, I worked in a used bookstore for a bit, and that's a good way to get a lot of books CHEEEEEEEAP. Employee discount? Yes. Discount on books in the back that are slightly damaged and unsellable? YES.) And I've occasionally sold a rare book, so that offsets things.
Etc.
(Note: my home computer collection spans ten full-height racks. A few of those are on loan from the museum, but most are mine. Spent close to nothing on that. Somehow.)
I finally had an opportunity to photograph the neighborhood hawk last weekend. I've been trying to photograph this guy for YEARS, but he always takes off before I can go get my camera.
Trisolarans.
If you spend a lot of time at the command line, then spaces in filenames are REALLY annoying. If you don't, it doesn't matter.
This ranks high: Dorothy & The Lion from the 1902 live production of The Wizard of Oz:
I try to make a list of the best things I read at the end of each year. This was what I came up with last january.
Most superhero movies should just be roller coasters. Or maybe one roller coaster for Marvel, and one for DC, and you get a different hat depending on the exact hero.
