Captured with a Phase One IQ4-150 with the Rodenstock 23mm/5.6 HR Digaron-S. This is a very wide angle lens (the equivalent of about 16mm on a full frame 35mm camera) that makes Alcatraz seem particularly distant. A long exposure averaged out the waves and tufts of mist.

The San Francisco Bay likes to show off its weather. Karl the Fog moves fast. Everything can change very quickly.

I believe this was the last photo I made away from home before the pandemic reduced my travels.

If you want Americans to have more children, then instead of forcing women to give birth, take back Trump's unnecessary tax cut for billionaires, and provide universal health care, affordable education, child care, and elder care instead.

And take care of the 400,000 kids already in foster care.

I am sharing with someone a .rtf file with simple calculations and explanatory text. It is mostly edited on #iPad and read from #iPhone. I modify calculations now and then and update the results. All within the same file. So there’s no spreadsheet function involved. Just me and a plain old calculator.

Anyone knows a lightweight and simple #literateProgramming #notebook which runs on mobile? As an alternative something my portable router could run.
