Can't remember if I posted this already — the eclipse was totally obscured by weather in Iceland, but it was still very cool to see this mountain disappear and reappear in the darkness. #mountainMonday

Drone shots from Iceland; we hiked 2 hours to the very freshest lava fields. Thanks to automatic image processing pipelines, none of our photos do the epic blackness of the lava rock justice. #iceland #MountainMonday

I wasn’t sure if it was all smoke or if it was actually cloudy as well, but then I saw the sun. Usually you can see the skyline from here. #smoke

Almost no part of Rio doesn't have a beach. This is Ipenema beach, yes, like the song. When you get to the beach a guy will come u and ask If you need chairs and umbrellas. We figured, why not, we're on vacation. After four hours of drinks and food plus the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Rio is surrounded by both water and mountains, which makes for an incredibly beautiful city — it's temperate, has lots of greenery, incredible beaches. We took the tram up Sugarloaf Mountain to see everything. #brazil #travel

And then — we fly to Rio. You won't believe it, but initially we weren't planning to go to Rio. We figured it was a party town, and we aren't party people, and the party wasn't even happening anyway. But so many Brazilians were like WTF do you mean you're […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

We went Into a cave! A huge cave that you have to be lowered Into via a winch, and you get to snorkel in *Incredibly* cold water (they give you wet suits) and see animal bones that are thousands of years old and rock formations that are eons old and still forming. #brazil #travel

Bonito! More photos of nature tomorrow, but this little town is very cute, and *very* set up for tourists, which we were looking forward to after a few weeks of adventures. As far as we can tell, this is where a lot of Brazilians come for vacation. #brazil #travel

The Pantanal was fine, but not our favorite stop; it was like The Jungle, but Make It Arizona. Tomorrow: travel day to Bonito, the spot that every Brazilian we met was excited we were going to. #brazil #travel

Back in Manaus for a travel day. Tomorrow we travel to Campo Grande for a day of rest and laundry, in prep for travel to another hostel in the Pantanal, another region that's still techincally jungle, but a lot drier. #brazil #travel

Day two in the jungle. Today we actually trek away from the hostel and spend the night in the wilderness, in hammocks, using palm fronds as our shelter, cooking over a fire. There's incredible vegetation — you can see the water level during the wet season on […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The next day we went on a quad bike tour of another area of the same region, but it's not a park so you can drive all around the dunes and through the pools. This part borders the ocean, and has a ton of windmills. #brazil #travel

There's a national park in Brazil called Lençóis Maranhenses, it's one of the most spectacular places I've ever been. It's like being on the moon, if the moon was a beach, and yet there's no river or lake or ocean, it's all just clean rainwater. #brazil #travel

This might get me canceled, but: I've always hated the bone-to-space station jump cut in 2001. They don't match! The bone and the space station — they don't match! The station isn't in a position that the bone is moving toward! I know it's heresy, but they […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A frame from the movie 2001 space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. You see the bone falling through the frame and the space station it's about to transition to is just coming into interview. They aren't in the same spot.

If you need an example of why Apple's new "UI floats over content now" approach is bad, I was wondering what the heck this new fist bump button was in the toolbar of my mail client... Of course it's not a button, it's emoji in the email I'm reading, but when […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Every once in a while you run across a web page that's just been sitting on a server for almost a quarter of a century, and no one has touched it because it either just works or they (more likely) forgot about it.
