Wondering what kind of fish this is? Found on Barassie beach. Small mouth with teeth. Big spike on head. Maybe a triggerfish?

At the end of 2022 I saw a note somewhere about someone who wrote down the first bird they saw every day. I decided to note one natural thing I saw everyday. Baring a few days here and there I managed it.
As has become custom I’ve made a video of my years flickr photos. I edited the script a little to use larger images & added a different sound track.

Hi Alan, What better type of post could there be. Surprisingly, being a Scot, I prefer RSS porridge to the real thing. Your post is full of tasty discursions (I grabbed the NYT bookmarklet worked a treat to follow the reading).
Seeing the link to River of News, you might be interested in Dave Winer’s feedland.com. I’ve been playing with it and there is a lot to like about this RSS reader. (I also use inoreader and NetNewsWire). I use nitter to pass a few twitter feeds into Feedland as it supports RSS.
Thinking about online community, commercialization & size I keep coming back to theDS106 model & micro.blog. Both in essence or part are RSS readers. I think, without knowing the details, I prefer the simplicity of RSS over ActivityPub. For example a smaller Goodreads could just aggregate a tag/category of a set of blogs using some agreed taxonomies.

Two deer–a doe and a fawn–came down the slope in a dry creek channel, heading for the grove. They saw me and rocking-horsed over a fallen log into the trees.
To all the people who clicked on a link to a FeedLand page on a phone in the past, I am sorry to have put you through that. Now that it works on phones, I can see how nice it is to be able to skim the news while you're out and about.
Thanks to Dave Winer, Game changer for Feedland!
Good Advice
Castro is back, I’ve grabbed my opml I’m the meantime. After a few podcastless commutes I think I need a backup plan/app. CC @jemostrom
