The many ribbon cables connecting our ancient home intercom system’s remote panels. I’ve become uncomfortably familiar with them as of late, and we use it for nothing but a doorbell.
These baby waffles appear will do to satisfy today’s grid theme. I have better waffle images but this one is timely. These are from a buffet breakfast during last year’s 360iDev conference. I’m attending this year’s, right now, online.
I used “grid” as a search term in Photos, to satisfy today’s theme. Photos suggested “griddlecakes.” Now I’m hungry.
For today’s Stationary theme…an image I found on ebay several years ago. It’s stationary I recognized immediately as my great Uncle Sol’s. I remember seeing it many times as a child. The note is to Sci-Fi author Harry Harrison, who worked for my uncle at the time. Wild.📷
Sillouette of outdoor diners as a hawk descends to steal their food. Just kidding, it’s a statue. Somewhere near Austin, TX, July 2004.
Idle curiosity about the Apple/Fortnite war: Since Apple didn’t detonate the kill switch, does that mean users can (and presumably are) making in-app purchases bypassing Apple using the current release? I suspect so, which is very interesting.
My Photos library says I labeled this “An interesting cloud formation, one sunny reflection amongst the darkness.” At the Bonnaroo music festival, June 12, 2004. (Best I could do for the “among” theme for today’s 📷.)
We have a 30-year-old hardwired intercom in our house. We don’t use it. It’s chosen today to buzz, loudly, in every room. I’m not sure how to power it down, but even if I could, our doorbell would stop working. I’m tempted to reboot the whole house to see what happens.
Followup on yesterday’s photo of a bus, for the “transport” theme: This was the bus of David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. Their compound outside Waco, including this bus, burnt in 1993. We were in the area in 2004, and stopped by out of curiosity.
For today’s “windows” theme, a 2004 photo I took of the stained glass windows inside the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, where MLK was pastor in the 1950’s.
So many issues unrelated to monochromatic photography came to mind for today’s black-and-white photo challenge. I walked by this sign today while visiting relatives, and knew I had my subject.
A view into the past: Yesterday I was given this newspaper photo, depicting a 1989 fire that destroyed a beautiful century-old house. The owners rebuilt better than ever. In 2016 we bought the new version of this house. Every bit of history we learn is fascinating!
For a temporary connection of a junky 35-year-old amplifier to four in-wall speakers, I bisected a similarly-aged stereo pair of RCA cables, then bisected each to form pigtail ends. Shockingly, it works. 📷🎵
Looking at options for patrons to flow safely through our town library, once we can reopen the doors. 📷
