Happy New Year!
I spent a few days near Shasta Lake over Thanksgiving. Here's a three night time lapse of the milky way. Also a couple of great hikes in the area: Clikapudi Loop (long) and Waters Gulch Loop (short). Some other travel time lapses include Bangalore and Lviv.
There was an election. I probably single-handedly evicted Biden and then endorsed Harris. Unfortunately my lifetime winning national election voting record stands at 1. And I got to vote in the US and the UK this year. Trump would probably have lost if Biden gave this speech I wrote for him. I do better in local elections and this year used OpenAI to semi-automate my California and San Francisco proposition guides.
I got my first electric vehicle - so should re-write this post to be far more righteous - and the hardest part was figuring out PG&E's shell game of rate plans. I ended up writing a python script to simulate my bill and it should work for anyone else trying to figure out this conundrum.
Kids should pay for MUNI. Most of them anyway.
I sort of fixed Rivian Drive Cam distortion and made a hyperlapse from San Francisco to Lake Shasta.
After a lot of previous moaning I have something nice to say about Android 15.
Please build a way to reply to voicemail using email. All the pieces are here now.
