Today I learned that the favicon.ico files for c.im and for carfax.com are very very similar. It's a little disconcerting and I've moved them away from each other to not cause confusion.

Two browser tab icons from Firefox. One for c.im (my mastodon instance) and one for carfax.com (where I am searching for a used car). The icons for the websites are very similar. Black square with a white letter C in the middle.

I paused at just the right (?) spot in this Alton Brown Cooks Food video on YouTube and it looks like he's really pissed. #altonbrown #cooking #youtube #funny #screenshot

A slightly out-of-focus Alton Brown in his kitchen/studio looking upset (but is not really). Behind him is a camera setup on rails with overhead lights. A mural is on the wall on the right side of the frame.

In the woods behind my house I have discovered the largest shelf mushrooms I have ever seen. I'm trying to use my hand for scale here but that doesn't do it justice. These things are enormous. I returned from a work trip today and it looks like I might have caught them […] [Original post on c.im]

Several huge tan and white colored shelf mushrooms growing out of a tree. A hand is next to the upper mushrooms for scale. Green plants are seen in the background.

From a recent hike through the nearby fen. The wind was blowing a bit and these flowers are on approx. 6 foot (1.8 meter) stems so it was a challenge. #flowers #fen #photography #bloomscrolling #northernillinois

A variety of native sunflower growing in a fen. There are a number of yellow flowers clustered together with a partly cloudy afternoon sky in the background

self-portrait of sorts from 20 years ago. taken Sept 14 2006. (A little early for throwback thursday but alas...) Taken with a 2MP Fujifilm Finepix A205. #Chicago #photography #A205 #street #throwbackthursday www.flickr.com/photos/phule/2438725…

newly white painted line on a street over the top of an older faded white line with cracks. The new line doesn't cover the entire old line on the right side of the frame. A orange safety cone is positioned at the end of the newly painted white line. part of the photographers shadow is seen on the left side of the frame (legs and waist)

I wish this was a slightly sharper photograph but the lily flower was moving slightly in the breeze (the hoverfly was holding steady). Still a decent macro effort from me at the time as I was learning. Taken July 2013. #macro #photography #hoverfly #lily #stargazerlily #insect #throwbackthursday

Macro photo of a hoverfly on the very end of the stigma of a stargazer lily flower. The large red/orange anthers of the flower are seen on either side with the bright pink of the petals in the background.

Brutal takedown of the fog by the NWS this morning. 😂 #ilwx #fog

Screenshot from a national weather service bulletin about fog. The statement includes the phrase "shallow dense fog" which seems particularly funny when the fog is anthropomorphized.

What an absolutely amazing collision in my timeline. @jorijn @pseudonym @poohbear

Screenshot from Mastodon showing two posts. One talking about the Pixar Cars Universe and what happens if you open the doors and windows and the second completely unrelated but right above the first of a photo of two people sitting in a car with the doors open.

@aeshna what a lovely name! Thank you for the ID! This is the best I can do for a "profile" photo of my friend.

This post: mastodon.green/@IcooIey/11703829442… reminded me that I didn't post a photo of a dragonfly who decided I was going to be its landing pad for a while. It stayed on my hand for quite a few minutes, just hanging out. Eventually, I had to go so I […] [Original post on c.im]

A dragonfly on the palm of a hand. The dragonfly has faint yellow coloring at the part of the wings that attach to the body. It is somewhat small.

We had these wonderful clematis plants around the mailbox of our old house. I loved photographing them. #flower #photography #closeup #macro #bloomscrolling

Close up photo of a clematis flower nearing full bloom. Petals are seen in the background with the stamens of a purple/red color not completely open yet. Pollen is need on some of the outer stamen.

Welp, it didn't require a guide or supplemental oxygen, and none of my fellow climbers died during the assent, but I have climbed to the highest point in Illinois. 😆 On private land, Charles Mound is only open to the public the first weekend of June, July, August and […] [Original post on c.im]

Blue and white sign for Charles Mound, the highest point in Illinois. Next to it, an American flag. Behind it trees and plants.

A couple weeks ago I was camping in west-central Michigan when one from our group discovered this amazing visitor, an Imperial Month! #moth #wings #summer #michigan #camping #Lepidoptera

Large Imperial Moth on a screen door. The painted green frame of the door is visible on the top of the image. The Imperial Moth is a striking yellow and browish-red (or redish-brown)

Hello world from c.im. I've had this account for a while as I used it for some testing and validation. With the pending closure of toot.community, I'm going to try using this account without redirecting from my old one just yet. If anybody has any positive or negative […] [Original post on c.im]
