A few weeks ago you had posted some cool selfies. I queued them to run on the lies tumblr, but then when I went to move them to my new theselfiemuseum tumblr I saw that you had deleted them. Would you prefer that I not reblog a post you’ve made if you have deleted it since I queued it? Thanks.

I have a crush on Rho Ophiuchi.

Was just checking it out (naked eye) the other night while walking Rory. I’m behind on celestial events; I had to consult my phone to see what those two big-ass planets were that were hanging around in there.

Spoiler: Mars and Saturn.

What happened to your icon? I am thoroughly disappointed. I thought we were both confirmed members of the i-will-never-change-my-icon club, but I guess I was wrong. (JK it looks great!)

More detail here. But the answer to your “What happened” question is (spoiler): Life. Life happened to it. :-)

In the interest of keeping my selfie obsession from taking over completely I’ve created a new sideblog, theselfiemuseum, which you are welcome to subscribe to if you’d like to see just one selfie per day, curated by me.

The first batch will no doubt look quite familiar. But eventually they’ll be new, and they’ll stop showing up here.

Thanks.

New World Vultures: Turkey Vulture flying along side the California Condor

Great comparison shot. I’ve still never seen a condor in the wild, though I live on the edge of their range.

I’ve gotta make that happen.

They’re majestic. I want you to see one in the wild! I’ve been lucky twice in Big Sur, but in theory you should be able to see them elsewhere in California.

And yes, this is a fabulous photo. If you just see one, it can be hard to know which of these two birds it is, unless you know to look for where the white is on the underwing (or unless you happen to see the tag, in which case definitely a California condor!). But when they’re together like here, you can see how much more ridiculously gigantic the condor is.

Yeah. The thing is, too, a turkey vulture is not small. It has a wingspan of nearly 6 feet. It just looks small next to that Cessna of a bird.

When I found out they were being seen in Big Sur I got so excited. The videos people have shot from Highway 1 are amazing. Elsewhere in their range you’re usually talking about a distant view through a spotting scope. But in Big Sur it apparently is more like, “Oh, hello there, Mr. Condor” as it cruises past you at eye level.

You’re invited

I really hope you film the actual meet-up as well! Can there be like a gazillion extras or something in the in-world Hero video?

I think it’s really cool how easy it is for in-world and out-of-world channels to co-exist without it being a big imposition on the viewer. Because as viewers, we want to maintain the illusion. We will totally work with you as a creator to make that happen. Just show us the respect of giving us a world we can play in that follows its own set of believable rules, and we’ll do the rest.

And then the line between in-world and out-of-world can be as easy as a row of dashes in the video description. There. Was that so hard?

No. It wasn’t.

Thank you.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2014

“Nevertheless, the alternative to Title II “Common Carrier” reclassification appears to be the destruction of the free market, the tyranny of monopoly pricing, Dantean customer service, and the gradual erosion of the World Wide Web as it comes fully under the control of the handful of corporations who have absolute power, under current regulations, to manipulate and suppress competition in more and more lucrative online marketplaces. Given the dynamic role the Web has to play in the commerce and discourse of the 21st century, this outcome is simply unacceptable, despite the inevitable costs of regulation. For these reasons, I support regulation of the Internet. If you’re a conservative defender of free markets and free peoples, then you should, too.”
