Yeah, I was surprised, given that your blog post was less than a year old…I’ll see what photo.net has to say; thanks!

@chadgayle.bsky.social per your article, I asked Nippon Photo if they could fix the sticky shutter on my Pearl III and was told they don’t service those anymore. Any idea where else one might look to get a CLA and rangefinder adjustment?

The White House cited these economists to justify its tariffs. They aren't thrilled. The Trump administration's formula for calculating new tariffs raised questions among economists β€” even some whose work was cited.

LOL you don’t say?

Alas, this pretty much describes me, at least on this account. Most of my creative stuff is on a separate one, which I like to keep free of political content.

It's not really a reciprocal tariff, more like a reciprocating saw

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A β€œTRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED β€œBUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Yet more evidence that yes, they really are that stupid:

Trump's "Tariff" Numbers Are Just Trade
Balance Ratios

Today was a hard day, but I never imagined when I started out that it might last this long, and that I’d get to do so much that was rewarding to myself and others. In that context, all in all I consider myself extremely fortunate.

Tomorrow I’ll begin planning my next move.

Stay tuned.

I lost my job today.

The reasons for it appear to be boring and administrative. As of right now, I have no reason to think that it’s related to the current administration (though it’s possible that, indirectly, it may be). (1/2)

A vintage Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck in glossy red paint, reflecting the sunlight. The image focuses on the front fender, hood, and driver’s side door, with the β€˜3100’ emblem prominently displayed. The truck features a distinctive sun visor over the windshield. The reflection of the sky and surroundings is visible on the truck’s curved surfaces. A suburban house with blue siding and white trim is partially visible in the background, along with bare trees under a clear blue sky.

Oh absolutely, this will take forever to recover from. But I do think they’ll begin the process once they realize that there are unmet needs. And that will dawn on them sooner rather than later.

The re-building of lost capacity will begin even before DOGE has reached its arbitrary β€œsavings” goal. And their accounting won’t include the cost of the new hires and infrastructure at all.

Indeed, with their panicked attempts to re-hire nuclear engineers, the process has already started.
