Remember when automation meant Bash scripts duct-taped to crontab?

Now we’ve got declarative config, jails, and Rocinante.

Times change. Tools evolve.

Green hills and little piggies : In the world of Michael Sowa

There is a small personal story in the first comment.

#throwbackthursday #landscape #rural #fields #spring #art #michaelsowa #photography

Photo of a green field in spring, with a patch of white snow hidden from the sun behind a small mound, bordered by the forest in the back, under a light blue sky. A plane with its white trail is in the sky. And no, there is no hidden pig in there.

Taïga, 2008.

I miss her crazy sleeping positions.

The dog is on its side but rolled slightly on its back, with back paws hanging down from the bed and bent front paws. The dog is looking at the camera with one eye and one ear is flipped over.

Old profile pic (extremely post-processed)

* This week marks a #Fediversary on my current host #CyberPlace

#ThrowBackThursday #Minimalism #Selfie #Photography

A minimalist, line-art selfie, made in Photoshop somewhere between 2010 and 2015. The style is highly abstract and minimalist, using only a few simple black lines on a white background to suggest the facial features and hair.

The hair is represented by a cluster of short, curved, somewhat jagged lines on the top of the head. Curved lines suggest the eyebrows or the crease of the forehead.The eyes give the impression of a focused gaze. There is a single, short, curved line that suggests the bottom and side of the nose. A long, gentle curve suggests the contour of the jaw and chin.

A simple, upward-curving horizontal line forms a smile.

Sorting Memories

#ThrowBackThursday #Alzheimers #Caregiving #Dementia #Photography

A scattered collection of old, physical photographs from a family's photo album, depicting scenes from different periods of life, particularly childhood.

The overall impression is one of nostalgia and family memories, captured in a time before digital photography was common. The photos are arranged in a casual, overlapping pile, suggesting someone has just gone through them.

The Gender-Revealing Obsession 🧐

#Comics
#Gender
#ThrowbackThursday

Illustration with two panels. At the top, the word “SOCIETY:” is written. Below, a cartoon character with a white lab coat points at a presentation board showing two naked figures whose genitals are pixelated. The speech bubble says: “You must cover your genitals at all times because we shouldn’t be thinking about other people’s genitals.” In the next panel, the heading says “ALSO SOCIETY:”. The same character is shown again, snapping their fingers with a “SNAP” sound effect, now pointing to a presentation board showing two clothed figures: one in blue, one in pink with a bow. The speech bubble says: “But cover them with clothes that represent your genitals because I get very uncomfortable when I can’t tell what genitals people have.” Watermark: Linguist Gone Foreign©.

'Landschaft in Schwarzweiß' // Landscape in black and white

#FotoVorschlag #throwbackthursday #bc #blackandwhite #landscape #hiking #waterfall #photography

A black and white photograph of a narrow, very high waterfall cascading down a steep rock face in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. The photo is taken from the side, and the bottom of the falls is obscured by the angle. The lower slopes of the mountains are covered in a coniferous forest. In the foreground, the rocky slope is dotted with small, scattered conifers. In the distance, to the right, the mountains disappear into the white light.

Photographie en noir et blanc d'une chute étroite et très haute, tombant d'une parois rocheuse escarpées au milieu de la chaîne de montagnes des Rocheuses. La photo est prise de côté et le bas de la chute est caché par l'angle. Le bas des montagnes est couvert d'une forêt de conifères. À l'avant-plan, la pente de roches où poussent de petits conifères épars. Au loin en arrière-plan à droite, les montagnes disparaissent dans la lumière blanche.

Edit: this Toot will get edited when new tags are shared.

A vintage-style sepia photograph, presented as if on a film strip with sprocket holes and artificial scratches, captures a concentrated moment. Cynni is crouching on natural, rocky terrain among sparse bushes at Burgers' Zoo, fully focused on framing a picture. They look intently through the viewfinder of a black Nikon Coolpix P500 digital bridge camera, which they hold firmly with both hands. Their expression is one of deep concentration as they peer through the lens. Their left arm, featuring a complex stylized text tattoo, is bent, and a few rings are visible on their fingers gripping the camera body. They wear a dark short-sleeved t-shirt, camouflage cargo pants, and a dark baseball cap with white sunglasses perched on top. A Nikon-branded camera strap hangs around their neck. The background is a natural-looking zoo enclosure with other blurred figures of visitors visible in the far distance. The composition is a candid, close-up shot emphasizing their focus.

#virology #AcademicChatter #mentoring #ThrowbackThursday
I was interviewed on a podcast, Virology Unmasked, https://virologyunmasked.com/michael-emerman/ with the title "Work on Important Things" which was a quote from my graduate school advisor, Howard Temin. The conversation was a nice retrospective of my career in virology and mentoring style.
