Apple’s “Spatial Scenes” in the Photos app, is ok. But it’s just a flat image overlaid on another flat image. Not really parallax, but interesting. AI (Apple’s and others) is still limited and stupid. #ai #apple #photo #failure

The Gathering: Mote’s kittens are almost 6 weeks old now and very active. Mote has started looking for time away from them. I’ve named 3 of the 6. Bit is the one that greets me every day. Byte is its buddy. Scamp is skittish. No names for the others two. #feral #kitten
Serious question: I need a Pages RELATIVE link to another file that can suvvive an export to PDF that can be moved to another device along with the external file in the same relative location. I don’t think it’s possible, since creating a Pages link to another file is a process. #pdf #pages #apple

It’s lunch and errand time. It’s hot, humid, sticky, and summery today.
Good morning. I feel it’s going to be a productive day, or I’ll get hit by a car. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
Today was semi-productive. Plan for tomorrow: — more CoD3 planning — coding — errands — gaming — eating, if time permits.

How often do you smile because it’s expected?
Hello. If anyone cares, more rain is coming to Delaware. It’s been a soggy year. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
Plan for tomorrow: — more book planning — play some games — avoid the heat and rain
