Earlier this week I tried recreating Laika's first photo. Almost 5 years later and she was much less willing to sit patiently and just "look at me", go figure. I think I'll try again later this week, and this time I'll be armed with … [Read more...]

Apparently I'm up to 47 GB of Laika photos (is that a lot? it seems like an awful lot). I'm sure there's something I'm supposed to be doing to make them smaller. Remember when 50 GB was enough to store everything you could ever imagine? I remember … [Read more...]
