Almost 3 years ago I blogged about attending Antiques Roadshow (tldr - it was cool) and it is consistently one of my most popular posts: www.raymondcamden.com/2023/05/04/m...

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale. So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

New post from my blog: "Building an RSS Aggregator with Astro" https://www.raymondcamden.com/2026/02/02/building-an-rss-aggregator-with-astro

Shocked in a very happy way how freaking easy it was to deploy Astro on Netlify *with* SSR and using their blob support. Like, I kept waiting for something to not work... and it just flat out went perfect.

Help me understand something - what is the point of putting the title of your blog in your og image - when social media previews also show the title too. Do you really need it twice?

Saturday night is show off new toys with my wife and brother and build LEGO.

This is spectacular.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Local news agency starts a FB post all kind of boring: "A man has been arrested for the third time on the same allegations." with the actual link being: "Man arrested again for seeking diaper changes"

Fellow writers: I am deeply saddened to share that if we want the rewards of having written, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of writing

Yep. Tubberville calling the SuperBowl halftime show "the woke bowl" is an attempt to pretend that the most popular musical artist in the world doesn't deserve the gig because he doesn't appeal to dumb, old, conservative white men. It's equal opportunity for a deserving candidate [of color].

An adventurous dragon lives inside a black hole. She inventories her hoard, which consists of thousands of books, hundreds of eyes, and sparse processors. She feels alert.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

First half of "Wonder Man" was really good. Much "smaller" and simpler than typical MCU content and I'm fine with that. Also, liked the somewhat stretched connection to Cloak and Dagger who I would love to see return to the MCU.

There's one of our cats who absolutely loves me for some reason, and she accidentally got outside w/o us knowing - for 2 days. She's safe now but is spending 100% of her time near me. (And I'm fine with that.)

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Last night's anxiety dream was bonkers: I was going tonspace, but first had to fly to Houston on a regular commercial flight. I realized I forgot my charger for my hearing aids, put on the wrong shoes, and was worried about flooding back home.

Cool song new to me by an artist new to me, with a cool ass name too: "hemlocke springs" www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDA2...

Hasn't worked well so far.

This will do it...

New Trek series means a new round of people complaining about how Trek is woke and completely forgetting the past 60 years of Trek.

Yeah, honestly I don't think I doubt this.

Stephen Miller is upset about Star Trek, one of the most socially progressive franchises in TV history

got an eye exam in a few hours and am i the only who gets anxiety over the whole "which is better, 1 or 2" portion?
