6 mile hike today.
@oliverames Taken on that trip…I lost a tiny bit of weight since then. Need to lose more! Good to hear from you, Oliver!
@oliverames Imagine how much data we’ll need when we’re 70!!!!
Team Off-site. WOOHOO.
Time for a little scripting. Getting it ready to run headless and pick up a lot of the things my iMac used to do that I disabled when going full laptop.
FYI if you buy a lot of Apple devices, Total Tech is $199 a year. I certainly get my money worth. This doesn’t include my wife’s phone, Mac, AirPods, watch or iPad :P
Thanks to @mjtsai among many others, I took advantage of Amazon’s 20% discount on M2 Mac Minis today and price matched it with BestBuy who, via TotalTech, gives me free AppleCare+ on everything I buy. Apple.com Price on an M2 Mac Mini with AppleCare + Tax = $748. Through Best Buy, it’s $433 …
Great to be back in the office without a sling
@mjtsai I should have made those a blog post. Sorry. This is the post that inspired my project - https://paulstamatiou.com/digital-clutter/
@DarylKiley hi Alyx. Sadly, I just manually export them to a folder once a month. I’ve been doing that for years.
Before I go back to writing, I wanted to link to another account of mine that will remain separate for a while. @dadthoughts. I don’t expect any followers and I’ll boost those posts for really important stuff.
Before anyone asks, I delete 9 out 10 photos I take off my camera. So these are 180,000 GOOD photos taken from 1999-2023 + a few hundred scans of 4x6 prints from when I was a kid my parents had. At this rate, they’re going to bury me with over 1 million photos. My grandkids are gonna be PISSED.
Very last thing I did was download all of my photos from SmugMug, Flickr, Instagram, IMGUR and I had some old archives from Facebook/Twitpic. I de-duped them using PowerPhotos2 and found a few I had uploaded from iPhone but had not stored in iCloud. …anyway, this has been a LOT of work.
Once all of my photos are up in the cloud, I’ll start organizing and cataloguing (by year/month/tags) all of the videos. It’s a LOT. But then I’ll have all of my photos in iCloud + NAS (@ home) + Prime Photos. And I’ll be deleting all videos from iCloud Photos since the most storage Apple will sell …
This project involves at least backing up all images to the cloud. I’m relenting by going through Prime Photos since it’s free as a prime user. Roughly 4 terabytes of photos are uploading to prime now. Thanks to my fiber connection, I’ve uploaded about 1 terabyte of them in 2 days. Local copies of …
My weekend project which is continuing over the next few weeks has been to get my photo storage under control. 1.8 terabytes in iCloud Photos (1TB of which is video) 128,000 JPEGs in iCloud 50,000 RAW (CR2/DNG) files in Lightroom 20 additional terabytes of videos which I created and made a copy up …
I HAVE been doing more writing lately as my shoulder has improved. Feels good to write again. Returning back to the office tomorrow after being home for 6 weeks. It’s time.
I have missed a few #OneSentenceMovieReview posts lately. I’m sorry. Maybe the trend is dying? Either way, Blackberry, solid movie. I laughed more than I should. Glenn was fantastic and while it was dramatized, it was an accurate film.
@gene Great menu, Gene!
Officially 5 weeks from surgery and I can finally lift my arm up to shoulder level. I have to prove to the doctor next week I can hold a steering wheel at 10 and 2 to be cleared to drive and we did it 6 days early! Thanks physical therapy team who I’ve been seeing 3 times a week.
@ev I know I’m the crazy one but I have notifications delived silently for all messages and emails except my spouse and boss. then it’s my choice to pick up my device to review what’s new. Apple devices do display the unread count on the icon. Second personal rule, after 3 text messages I’m calling …

One of the favorite dance festival photos I’ve ever taken. I loved this person’s light up face mask.
