Sunflowers 88

 It's 88! The day is beginning well. A little windy but there is plenty of sunshine and temps will be mild, and warmer than the previous day. All of that is good.

We near the end of the sunflowers, but then there will be more of my favorite things. Unfortunately, and sadly, the US Covid death toll is now over 912,000.

 I wonder how you would display a digital collectable? Put a thumb drive on a shelf? Bloody stupid. It seems to me that the entire "digital world" is throw away garbage. Reality is analog. It's analog at every level. Your brain is an analog device. Art worthy of the name is analog. Digital photography is not and never will be "art". It takes no skill. It's endlessly reproducible and can be modified at will. Cheap, lazy, garbage, no matter how pretty it is, but is it creative? I don't think so. How much of the brain is required to produce it? Not much. I think my sunflower pics and other pics I do are interesting at best, maybe pretty sometimes-- but nothing like that is of any consequence. 99.9% of any digital production is in the DEVICE! Very little is in the hand, eye, brain of the piss-ant creator. With that said, how about some more sunflowers, eh? Eh?

Screw the digital world. The metaverse is crap.

 It warms nicely. May it continue to do so! 

Yesterday I learned of the existence of "digital" collectibles. Before people had their brains eaten by social media and "smart" phones, the concept would have been laughable. Never would I have imagined that so many people would dive headfirst into a bottomless pit of stupid. That's the blast-off jet-offtake digital dymaxion world for you. Idiocy amplified and writ large. What else can you expect from a tribe of marginally augmented chimpanzees? No offense.

 Still warming! More nice weather! Yesterday it was kind of windy.

Today it might not be so windy! That will be nice! Steady as she goes.
