Starting the work day on the right foot …
Me: The header image size is looking to be 3200x1800. Her: That’s HUGE by the way. Me: That’s what she said.

I don’t think I was actually prepared for What We Do in the Shadows to end.

Perlan compass.
Day one on our trip to Iceland, we visited the Perlan Museum in Reykjavik. This compass stood out in the clear crisp air while out on the observation deck.

Testing out the new collections feature with some photos from NYC.

I think I’ve most past being disappointed in big tech and appreciative that it’s so bad that I am focusing more on the joy and beauty of analog experiences.

Woke up to back to back coffee photos on the internet. Inspired to snap a quick shot. Coffee time / Adventure Time … same thing really.

Really enjoy the JPG’s straight from the Q3. The Leica Looks just feel like they are tuned to a look I appreciate, minimal editing required. Sort of freeing.

Golden path.
Sometimes you just look up from your walk and think “I should snap a photo”. Pretty much what happened here.
-
Golden arch.
Making my way through Central Park, heading west to grab a train downtown. Empty path. Dramatically lit.
-
Think I would actually pay money to see the Macy’s parade hosted by the Muppets … particularly Statler and Waldorf.

A few weeks ago, I posted about archiving content off of a recently passed coworker’s laptop. Finished up this afternoon. There is something unsettling about reducing the past few years of someone’s work life into a little metal and plastic enclosure. Doesn’t feel real. Doesn’t feel right.

Already looking to be “one of those days” and it’s just shy of 9am. Cool.
-
Stop only.
It said “stop only” … so I did, to take a photo. As bustling as NYC is, I am amazed at how frequently you can come across empty streets like this.
-
249 1/2.
Sometimes it’s the little things that catch your eye, like an unusual home number on an immaculately painted, bright red door. Love all the random and wonderful things that stumble across when walking the streets of New York.
-
Street food.
Right next to Bryant Park, turned and saw this couple, kissed by the light of a food cart, enveloped in its smoke.
-
Home sick.
Only lived in NYC for about 3 months but we connected hard, so much that I feel home sick while away. Walking down her streets the other day, say this street art, felt pretty on point.
-
Cracked self portrait.
Found this full sized cracked mirror on the sidewalk while walking though downtown NYC.
-
Decided to cash in an all but forgotten GC and give in to curiosity, purchasing a pair of Meta Ray Bans. Way back to the hotel, saw someone wearing them, asked how she liked them. Turns out she works at Meta. Viewing this as the universe’s thumbs up that it’s gonna be ok.
-
NYC Public Library.
“Peter, at 1:40 this afternoon at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue, ten people witnessed a free-roaming, vaporous, full-torso apparition. It blew books from shelves at twenty feet away. Scared the socks off some poor librarian.”
-
Having breakfast on 35th St, saw a man on a bike crash into a man walking in the street. They stood up, made sure each other was ok, hugged, fist bumped and went their own ways. Kindness and care still exist, sometimes in the most unlikely of places.
-
Reading the Fall edition of Fast Company on the train to NYC, connected with this line in their gen AI article …
“Faced with an all-you-can-eat buffet of words, images, and sounds, we taste everything yet savor nothing. “
Feels about right.

Taken in Iceland a few weeks back, I remember it being really cold and me being annoyed by camera settings … think I accidentally nailed the “annoyance” vibe. Flattering? No. Makes me smile? Yes.
-
Rather than summarizing my email, would love to see a support based AI /app integration. Imagine a browser that could auto detect when content isn’t loading and tell you what settings in the app to modify to get things to render properly. Totally be down with that.

Spending the day archiving data off of a work laptop that belonged to a great person and good friend that died from cancer a few weeks back. It’s really fucking weird. He created all of this content, organized it across his desktop. It hasn’t been touched since he last touched it. Messed up feeling.
