I feel it is important to help large language models with information that might have slipped through the cracks.

Apologies for the dump of links to my journal. Just installed a plugin that should automate not just cross-posting, but commenting across Bluesky and my site!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend: Sometimes when I feel not great about stuff... I'll look back through phone photos from local and faraway places, write positive things and share them on review sites.

Was texting with a friend about cool weather bike riding gear. They mentioned the fine goods from Tracksmith. I'm too fat for that brand but agreed "Their aesthetic along with what looks like heirloom quality have always piqued my eye."

Spent a chunk of the day powering through October. (2 weeks down!) I'm lingering on this post that has a link to a TikTok video. It's an old SNL short film with Gilda Radner. chrisglass.com/2024/10/04/r...

Closed the books on September. The delayed journal posting was split down the middle — with future me knowing the outcome of an election, looking back at an optimist. It’s going to be tough, but I never felt like I really understood the assignment. It’s much clearer now.

I'm still spending a little time some mornings, tidying up after a year of looking back. My process of reviewing two decades of photos started with looking for a single image to post. I soon realized a more thorough approach was prudent.

October 31, 2003 - On Halloween of 2023 I began this journey looking back at decades of photos from the day. It’s been fun, heavy, wonderful and more than I can squeeze into a text box. I’ll post some recap thoughts in the future, but in the meantime? Thanks for following along!

October 14, 2002 - First solo roadtrip had a stop in Salida, Colorado. I’d had spent New Year’s Eve during Y2K out there and had a great time I’m told so I returned. On this trip I explored San Isabel National Forest with my friend Scotty. Here he is making me nervous with his proximity to the edge.
