And now would be a great time to put together a group of NY-metro sports bloggers into a nice publication. There's real money in sports in the city.

I haven't shared new photographic work in a while. I've been struggling to find the time - even though it is easily my favorite hobby. To help unclog my creative pipes, I'm slowly releasing unfinished work.

Here is a new photo series, Where I - a collection of images of specific locations based on vivid childhood memories.

Starting in December 2022 I began capturing these locations digitally. I will return to photograph them on black and white film before making darkroom prints.

What’s the role of libraries?

 
Bookmarked Seattle’s Public Libraries Chart a New Strategic Direction by Ray Dubicki (theurbanist.org)
The Houston group produced a couple possible outcomes, including a preferred one. The Taking a Stand alternative sees libraries taking a stand for community values, but facing increased competition from fragmented and very biased competitors. The Trusted Third Space alternative leans on technology to offer a lot of services, but without some social services and at a pretty hefty expense requiring new funding. The preferred scenario is called Ecosystem Anchor where the library becomes a green hub for community organizations with other parts of city government operating social services with the library as liaison.

Scenarios planning for Seattle Public Libraries, including a baseline of collapse, two interstitial scenarios, and a preferred 10-year outcome. (University of Houston Foresight)

I find these options really interesting because each have compelling aspects, but given funding restraints, not all are possible. Trusted Third Space would probably be my vote; our communities are lacking spaces — the programming will probably handle itself if there are gathering spaces people can use. Providing space over programming really requires trusting the community by giving them what they need: a free, safe place to meet. Under this goal, the spending priority would be offering many locations, open as many hours as possible. I see this option in tandem with the Ecosystem Anchor alternative, offering a safe place where trusted partner community organizations can offer services and programs at the library.

Some Short Music Videos

 

I posted these to my Instagram, but they could (should) be here. I’m trying to get my “music room” at home in good order and learn to use recording equipment and software.

These ones are very rough. Not only am I just not very good, but all I did was turn on Quicktime Player and did a New Movie Recording, then tried to line up the tracks in ScreenFlow as well as I could. That’s just a sucky way to do it. GarageBand is way better and more fun (e.g. multi-track is easy, a little EQ goes a LONG way).

But then you don’t have any video! How the heck to people get super good audio and video?

It should have been simple for New York to set up its legal weed market: You put out a call for entrepreneurs, evaluate their pitches and let the best qualified folks set up weed dispensaries.

Ran through my Micro.blog demo at FediForum pretty quickly because I wanted to stay under the 5-minute goal, but also because my dog has been barking all morning. Can’t believe he was quiet for the whole demo.

I often tune into the news while eating breakfast. Impressed with Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky on CNN this morning. He always seems more grounded and human than most CEOs.

The NYT used to have a sports section, now when you click a link in their Sports feed it asks for more money. And they don’t appear to have specific coverage for NY sports teams. They’re the Google of news. We need an EZ-Pass for News to route around their dominance.
