    What Was Your First "I Gotta Buy 5 Pounds of This Stuff!" Tobacco?

    The first blend I jarred up five pounds of was Samuel Gawith St. James Flake. But that was back when it could be had for under US$30/lb.

    NHL Playoffs... Who's Watching and Who You Got?

    My predictions: Edmonton wins the cup. And despite Boston not being in the playoffs, the Leafs find the most painful way to lose leaving poor Steve Daniels miserable once again.

    Artificial Superintelligence "ASI"

    I don't want to get banned by putting up a political post so let me just say this: Assume that systems like this will be used for nefarious purposes.

    Artificial Superintelligence "ASI"

    And that would be great if the system was correcting itself, but it's not. I've been getting Spanish ads for months. This is a minor thing, but it's the perfect example of AI hallucinating. The system is wrong but it's confidently wrong, which is the worst way for a system like this to act. I...

    Artificial Superintelligence "ASI"

    YouTube keeps serving me ads in Spanish. I do not speak Spanish. Amazon regularly makes recommendations that make no sense based on my interests or my purchase history. More importantly, the "I" in AI is questionable at best, and completely inaccurate at worst. What the algorithms do is...

    The Savinelli 320ks.......Finally Pulled the Trigger

    I like the author shape generally, and I find the 320KS to be one of the best. Being a Savinelli shape, there are lots of inexpensive variations. And if you really want to save a few bucks, the Rossi 8320 is the same shape.

    C&D Interlude

    In my (admittedly dim) memory of these blends, Interlude was a little deeper, and almost astringent in a good way. Opening Night has some lighter Virginias mixed in with the red leaf and had a slightly less astringent note. Opening Night also had a bit of a grassy note. I liked them both, but in...

    Which Are the Most Incenselike Blends? ⚗️⛪🪔🥢💭

    The most incense-like blend I knew of was SG RB Plug, sadly now out of production. But that was more "Grateful Dead concert" than "church" incense.

    iPhone 16 Pro Cameras are Gooderns!

    The There's great work in that gallery, and the tools you chose were perfect for it. I'm not a "digital vs. film" guy. I shoot both and choose the tool I think most appropriate for me. People? Digital (mirrorless these days) all the way. A black and white landscape that I really want to nail...

    Dad Died Last Weekend And I Inherited His Pipes etc.

    My deepest condolences for your loss. Smoking his pipes: What a great way to keep his memory alive.

    iPhone 16 Pro Cameras are Gooderns!

    Sadly, no. To the best of my knowledge the only way to shoot wide with accurate framing in medium format is to use an SLR. (Or a medium format view camera,, if you're a glutton for punishment.)

    iPhone 16 Pro Cameras are Gooderns!

    The Fujica G690 series were the original "Texas Leicas," with interchangeable lenses available from 50mm to 180mm. They're not easy to find and generally expensive, but they're out there. The 50mm lens is regarded as being one of the best made for that system, so unlike a lot of other medium...

    iPhone 16 Pro Cameras are Gooderns!

    I shoot everything from a phone camera up to 8x10 film. The great thing about phone cameras is that people who wouldn't have bothered taking a camera with them in the past now always have a camera with them, so we get to see so many things that wouldn't have been photographed before. The...
