30ish. This year so far it's 31. I'll probably finish 2 more books before the year is over.

I absolutely hate those "You could do this on the website" messages. I'd love to. Trust me.

I've completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/4

Probably the easiest day for me this far. Especially part 2. Unlike other days where I have to do a good amount of re-writing, today I just had to do more looping.

I just completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3

So far so good. Nothing too complicated today but I did have to really go step by step for the second part because I kept loosing myself in all the loops lol

Maybe that was already on the books for date night tomorrow 🤫

Moon with clouds

Haven't had a very clear night here in NJ yet to fully test out the night time photography I can do with the Z6III but I did get this cool photo of the moon.

Snippets everyday of November. Had a very fun and exciting November. Went to a new zoo, completed a 5K, went to new antique stores, got a new camera, and chilled at home.

I just completed "Gift Shop" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/2

So glad that the Reddit group exists because I definitely misread this problem input to start with and couldn't figure it out till I realized I missed one key word lol

Wish #Etsy had a way to filter out #AI stuff. I don't want to buy AI anything and especially art.

I just completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1

Maybe this year I'll actually finish it too! They did change it to being 12 days instead of 24 so that'll be a lot easier to commit to for sure.

After Epic Games CEO Argues Against AI Video Game Disclosure, Machine Generated Assets Appear To Flood 'Fortnite' Chapter 7 Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney's stance against generative AI disclosure in video games makes more sense given 'Fortnite's Chapter 7 art assets.

Epic Games CEO doesn't think that 'Made with AI' label should be a thing in video games. Of course this is right after #Fortnite apparently used #AI art in their Chapter 7.

It absolutely does matter.

Fallen in love Destiny 2 mug sitting on coffee maker

Me: Makes a coffee for a nice warm drink

Also me: Starts going through snow photos and editing completely forgetting coffee which is now barely warm 😆

White dots of snow against an evergreen tree that has two pinecones on it

One of the snow pics I took this morning. Definitely a good reminder you don't have to go far to find beauty.

What games did you play to avoid Thanksgiving hecticness?

We played A LOT of #Valheim. Exploring the sea and mining silver in the mountains.

#Warmth in color but in actuality it was a very cold day.

Finally took my new camera out on a photography day to test out it's capabilities. Super happy with it!

We took a trip up to Catskills, NY which was so beautiful. Definitely some beautiful scenery in the fall.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Sunset showing blue clouds with pink light on them

Another photo from my #Kodak #Charmera.

So pretty that everyone in the parking lot was taking photos.
