Colorado, 1862  A couple of months ago a friend of mine who was involved with a political fundraising event, asked me to put together a piece of artwork that could go to auction. Sure, I said, as it sounded like a good idea. The problem is, I don't have the equipment to put together the piece I wanted to make. In years past, I used a maker's space's equipment but hadn't been back to the that maker's space since a couple of years before Covid-19 shut the world down.  But, we persevere.  I took out some old supplies that I had in my storage unit and contacted the maker's space. They had purchased some new equipment they were prioritizing over their older equipment that was collecting dust in the corner.  They allowed people to come in and work on this equipment in one hour increments and then did little to no help with setup or figuring out the proper settings. And with barely an hour, I didn't have time to do a test piece, so we ran the project through the eq...

I'm fairly certain Google hasn't touched this app/service since before I stopped using it regularly (if I ever did - it's really not good for mobile quick blogging like Google+ was). However, there still doesn't seem to be a good open alternative. Many are closed gardens or they're just not in line with my needs... or, they're a Facebook property and due to Facebok, er, Meta sucking, I won't use their services. I won't even have them on my devices.  Anywho, this is the first post to Blogger from my new Android and it's working fairly smoothly, even if it's not convenient. I really would like a quick-post widget or the ability to share a photo from Photos rather than having to come to Blogger and find the photo to share.
