Pressing the trigger on this fun little squirrel in action mode, full zoom from across the street.
Ooh, he found the baby apples fallen from the apple tree – Yum!
He readies himself to dash across the street.
Over to my side, where he finds a tree nut to gnaw on.
He scans the yard for threats…
and he dashes into the trees, poof!
Seven letters in my outgoing mail pile, I’ll be sending these when I get to the new house, with a change-of-address sticker attached. If you’re wondering why it’s taking me awhile to reply, that’s why. (:
In addition to a whole corral of Canon Powershots in my digicam collection, I do have a few non-Canon pocket point-n-shoots that I almost forgot about until I found this pic of them arranged on my desk from 2023: 
2008 Nikon Coolpix S210
2011 Samsung TL205
2011 Kodak Easyshare M583
I completely forgot I had the Nikon – that was prolly a thrifted find in that “had a memory card I wanted and cost less than $5″ category. I’ve never used it because it came without a charger, however, I just cross-referenced the batteries and it looks like the Nikon will use the Kodak’s batteries, so I should be able to get that one going too now. The other two I have already tested as working, but never got around to using much.
The razor-thin Coolpixes are metal-shelled masters of the “Oughties Flash Raver” style of party photography and are super-popular with the Gen-Z crowd looking to get away from cellphone slavery since Covid. They seem to command prices on the ‘bay now that could buy you a decent used DSLR body. Craziness. Glad I got mine when people were practically throwing them away, and I think it’ll be fun to spend a month getting to know it well. :D
I’ve been enjoying your posts. But I noticed the Blogger automatic blog roll updates on both Polt’s blog and the Typosphere blog have not updated in over a week. It would be nice to have a more reliable website that feeds us updates from the Typosphere bloggers. Any ideas?
Yeah, I noticed that too. Both Blogger feeds. Prolly something wrong with an update they did on the blogger app. not much we can do about it. :P
I tried rejiggering the plugin around trying to get it to refresh, but no dice. ):
Neat little critter.
I like those pocket cameras even though the closest I got to one was my Olympus Camedia (I forget the model) I had until moving to MI.
I always thought they’d be great for street photography.
My Nikon Coolpix S7000 is great for street photography. Mine was a Goodwill find for $10 four years ago when you could get these for $10. I suppose Munk is right about the Gen-Z crowd. Maybe we could get them interested in teletype.
ooh, nice, a 20x zoom on a pocket camera? That’s pretty good fer $10! (:
I’ve added an automatically updating typosphere blogroll to my blog. It includes about ten blogs so far, and I’ll keep adding more. You’ll find it in the left footer widget at tomfasano.com. I’d like to know what anyone thinks.
Tom, it looks pretty good, seems to be more up to date than the Blogger plug-in, the only thing I noticed was The Untimely Typewriter blog’s latest entry wasn’t captured.
Good job! I will bookmark your blog as a reference for checking on the Typosphere blogs!
