Just a hut under a tree in the mist ...
I saw this when I was walking back from a location scouting. When I was back at the car, I turned around - already ready to drive away when I noticed this gnarly tree in the field.
The fog was just light enough to create an interesting mood I think.

A solitary tree stands resolute in a world softened by mist, its bare branches reaching upward like skeletal fingers against the muted sky. The landscape is wrapped in a quiet, ethereal haze, blurring the horizon into a seamless blend of earth and sky. Shades of gray dominate the scene—pale silver where the light struggles through the overcast clouds, deeper charcoal along the shadowed ground—creating a mood both melancholic and peaceful. The open field stretches endlessly, its surface damp an…
A quiet winter woodland unfolds in soft shades of gray and muted silver, where bare branches stretch like delicate lace against a pale, overcast sky. The forest stands in hushed stillness, its skeletal trees stripped of leaves, their intricate patterns creating a natural tapestry of lines and shadows. A gentle mist lingers between the trunks, blurring the distance and lending the scene an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality. The ground is a patchwork of frosty grass and fallen twigs, crunching …

These are the photos for my 2026 calendar. Got the proofs today. Should have the hard copies in 2 weeks. Always agonizing to pick 13 of my photos for the next one. The last few years I’ve had to use older ones too. I don’t get out to shoot as much anymore. I’m hoping that will improve. I’ve volunteered to be a photographer for the city park dept. I’ll take pics of people engaged in the parks and activities, and whatever else I see.

Composite of 12 photos I’ve selected for my 2026 calendar. In order the pictures are: January - a house finch in a tree February - a coyote standing looking at the photographer (me) March - sunrise over mountains April - 3 days-old goslings in weeds May - a catbird in a tree June - scenic view of mountains, clouds, rain, and sunlight July - closeup of a Mariposa Lily August - closeup of a prickly poppy September - head and shoulders of an elk cow October - a blue heron taking flight November - …

My hip pain, what I’m pretty sure was bursitis, disappeared after several days of rest. 🙌 I waited another couple of days and felt pretty good about trying it out.
So, we begin again. Again.
Stopped at the halfway point to take a few pictures and let my HR come down a bit. Felt good early and sluggish late. What I expect, for a while anyway.

My running stats: 5.1 km in 37:38 for an average pace of 7:22/km
A silhouetted power tower stands against a twilight sky, with power lines stretching across the scene. A crescent moon is positioned atop the tower, creating a striking visual contrast with the fading light.

A metal pedestrian bridge stretches across a tranquil setting, flanked by bare trees and a clear blue sky. The path leads toward a rail yard visible at the far end of the bridge. Fallen leaves are scattered on the wooden surface.

On my way from Ansbach to #39c3. See you soon!
After 15 years of Chaos events, I've forgotten my DECT phone for the first time 🙈
So this year I'm trying out @… SIP and can be reached at 2120.

The image shows a quiet train station platform on a clear, sunny day. Two railway tracks run straight into the distance, creating strong perspective lines. Overhead, there are many electric cables supported by tall metal poles. The sky is bright blue with no clouds. On the right side of the platform, close to the camera, there is a medium-sized gray hard-shell suitcase. A black backpack is attached on top of it, standing upright near the edge of the platform. The platform surface has light and…

New Banksy dropped in London.
I thought immediately of Oscar Wilde's "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
Perhaps it is a Christmas reference, to that star that was followed in the famous story.

Close up of new Banksy. It depicts two children lying on the ground, wearing winter clothes. One of them is pointing at something in the sky above them. It is painted on a white wall in Bayswater, England. There is a small bush at their feet, indicating they are outside.
Distance shot of the Banksy. Below the artwork is a 3-unit garage. It is painted on the side of a white-washed industrial building, in poor condition. It is evening and the sky is growing dark. In the distance can be seen the red warning light atop a crane.

Sonnet 035 - XXXV
No more be grieved at that which thou hast done:
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud:
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I in this,
Authorizing thy trespass with compare,
Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss,
Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are;
For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense,
Thy adverse party is thy advocat…

One of the things that made organizing a lot easier with the GDC was a thing called "GDC in a box." It was a zip file with all kinds of resources. There was a directory structure, templates for all kinds of things like meetings and paperwork you had to file (for legal reasons) and "read me" files.
We had all kinds of support. There were people you could talk to who had been there. There were people you could call to walk through legal paperwork (taxes). Centralized orgs are vulnerable and easy to infiltrate. They're easy for states to shut down. But there are benefits to org structures.
I think it's possible to have the type of support we had with the GDC, but without the politics of an org (even the IWW). I hope this most recent essay has some of the same properties. I hope that it makes building something new, something no one has really imagined before, easier.
This whole project is something a bit different. It's a collective vision and collective project, from the ground up. Some of it has felt like a brain dump, just getting things that have been swimming around in my head down somewhere. But I hope this feels more like an invitation.
Everything thus far written is all useless unless people do things with it. Only from that point does it become a thing that lives, a thing with its own consciousness that can't be controlled by any individual human.
Tech billionaire cultists want to bring a new era of humanity with AGI. That is definitely not possible with LLMs, and may not be possible at all. But there is a super intelligence that is possible, though it's been constrained by capitalism: collective human intelligence.
The grand vision of the tech dystopians is that of the ultimate slave that can then enslave all humans on their behalf. I think we can build a humanity that can liberate itself from their grasp, crush their vision, and build for itself a world in which people will never be enslaved again. Not only do I think it's possible, I think it's necessary. I think there are only two choices: collective liberation or death.
And that's what I plan to write about next time to wrap this whole project up. Today things often feel impossible. But people talked about the Middle Ages as though they were the end of the world, and then everything changed in unimaginable ways. Everything can, and will, change again.
"The profit motive often is in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings."
