Here we Are

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE again

I really, honestly meant to have like 4 or 5 of these written by this point in the year. Ooooops!!!

Anyways, a lot has happened certainly. I don't necessarily remember most of it, but it still happened! That's just a fault I tend to have. Not good at remembering. I'll try to keep it brief and just go over the most recent stuff.

New Domain

As the heading says, this site is now hosted on a new domain! If you didn't know, it was previously a Neocities page. I appreciate Neocities' accessibility, but I wanted a clean URL and more flexibility.

I wanted to eventually run it off my own little server computer, but that's probably not really a good idea. I just like the thought of the controlled, homebrew-y hosting rather than paying for storage. The transition has been a little annoying, though. New water for me.

I'm in college now. I'm taking classes to become a carpenter. Yippe !!!! Should all be done about a year from now at latest. I hope (-:

Took the opportunity to get some fun power tools. Started building a gate. Will include progress pics in the next post when that's done! I'm in the process of painting it and then I have to get all the hardware together.

I got a new camera! And I am going to be returning that new camera because it is not quite meeting expectations.
It is a Kodak PixPro WPZ2. I've been wanting this camera for about a year now. It was just so cute-looking! But the photos are only okay. Better than my iPhone SE, but still not good enough.

Here's a couple photos, though:

A photo looking down at a black raven standing on the sand at water's edge. The water is a murky brown and has a very fine rippled pattern. The bird is facing away from the camera, looking up at to the right.

A close-up shot on some leaves of a plant about a foot away from the camera. In the background is a pond and a spattering of trees at the coastline. The sky is clear and quite a muted blue.

OKAY that's all for now. Bye-bye :-). See you hopefully soon.
