Yesterday, on the trail in neighboring town, I have taken with my Pixel 6 Pro couple of pictures .
First one I made when crane just walked out of creek water.
And here is the same crane again staying still next to a wired fence.
Various projects to keep hands busy...

I just published small Go project on GitHub:
https://github.com/jumbleview/decor
This is the program which takes jpeg picture as argument and set it as Windows desktop background.
Command line looks like this:
Program reads jpeg file, encodes it, crops image so it's width-to-height ratio matches width-to-height ratio of computer monitor, saves the image as bmp file and sets it as a screen background.
It is pure Go program. It should be compiled with command
Get lucky to make this shot of two deer (probably mother and child) roaming around neighboring town.
It is good that may Pixel 6 Pro is always with me. Its telephoto lens is excellent.
One more picture I shot next day in another neighboring town. It is a pond near town hall.
The same phone, the same lens.
And one more at the park lake.
Four years ago I published post about my Go terminal application which I use as personal password manager.

During all these years I used it on constant basis making some tweaking here and there. This post summarizes major changes.
Couple of photos of new street art artifact : "Tetris House". It is private house in Duboce Triangle neighborhood of San Francisco. Owner recently made his house to become piece of art.
From my experience succuss of electronic DIY project in a big part depends on how good you solder circuit components. And high quality soldering depends on the prototype board. Three years ago I have published my review of Adafruit Board . It is indeed excellent for small projects accommodating Attinny85 processor but for project based on Atmega328 it is too small. For a long time my favorite boards for such projects were Radio Shack catalog numbers #276170 and #270150. Alas, there are no anymore Radio Shack stores around and, while Radio Shack web site still exists, boards are not on sale on there site. Sometimes Radio Shack boards can be bought on E-bay, but cost with delivery reaches $15 or even more. I consider this as too much. So I have started to look for a replacement. Eventually I found this site They sells some useful stuff including prototype boards. On the picture below you can see the board taken from there. I paid for five boards with delivery ~$25 (~$5 per a board).
Boards came nicely wrapped into transparent material. On wrapper of each board there were labels: "Made in Taiwan". As you can guess board has two power buses and six rows of three hole pads.
Below you can see project I made with this board.
There are three pictures showing our front yard at different stages within last seven years.
Top picture made today. That's how front yard looks now. (I just put fresh two cubic yards of mini red mulch on it).
Photo in the middle made a little bit more than two years ago in March of 2022.
And bottom picture is form April of 2017, right after we converted green lawn to garden.
