Slooooooow day today. Woke up late around 8:30, got ready fast, has some wonton noodle soup for breakfast. Swing by the shop to get some beef and then TK Noodle to buy a pound of meatballs for the house. (More later.) Coffee around 11:45, maybe? AeroPress, Flow Control cap, condensed milk. Spent most of the day checking UCSC announcements, prophesizing playing with the chatbots in Cyborgism, and trying to wrangle my tabs and binging camera videos on YouTube. On the matter of cameras, I also spent a little bit of time trying to lift shadows in a few photos that've been on the backburner for a while. The "lifts" are modest, but they're there. I don't use Lightroom (which I know has a super intuitive shadow slider or whatnot) -- I use DarkTable, and their tone equalizer has tons of granularity. Maybe a little too much since if I overdo the shadow recovery the areas look a little mushy. Mom spent a good chunk of the day making some beef stew, which was absolutely delicious. I had it with some egg noodles.
