Site redesign
Twitter’s implosion has highlighted the importance of a space independent of any centralized platform’s availability… I have set up a mastodon account but it’s clear that Mastodon is ephemeral, not a long-term archive for writing or photos. And since I’m working on a new portfolio/business site already, I decided to overhaul escapewindow.com.
I’ve been using GitHub pages for hosting. For content I migrated from jekyll to hugo, primarily so I don’t have to deal with ruby gems anymore.
Fur seal rescue in Hercules Bay, South Georgia
We took a zodiac ride around Hercules Bay on what was to be our final morning in South Georgia. Eric, our zodiac driver, heard chatter on the radio about a fur seal caught in a packing strap, so we went over to check it out. We found him? sitting on the rocks, a loop around his neck. He was cute. We took some photos, then wandered off to watch the macaroni penguins for a bit.
