Polaroid 690s are equipped with a manual focus switch. Inside the front plate chassis is a little spring and a clip, which is just a tiny plastic bit and is prone to failure. Mine broke today. I'm not much of a repair wizard, so I won't open the case, but have MacGuyvered it instead. Jamming this toothpick into the switch while it's toggled does the trick!
To honour the vinyl reissue of Ween's White Pepper, here is a Game Boy Camera photograph of the album cover.

If there's no music coming out of the headphones, it still counts as #SilentSunday, yeah?

Tonight, I watched my old Reservoir Dogs VHS tape on a CRT television that was manufactured in 1989. The TV has a blown right speaker, so the audio was a touch lopsided. Picture quality of the 4:3 image was immaculate. The experience was, in two words, intoxicatingly glorious. Don’t get me wrong, I love 4K, but damn, I absolutely loved going back to the old days even just for a night.

I built the Lord of the Rings Rivendell Lego set this holiday break and envisioned this exact photoshoot during the construction of the very first bag of bricks.

Looking straight up.
The Wikipedia editors are trying to decide between calling it a heist and a robbery. 🍿 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2025_Louvre_robbery#Requested_move_20_October_2025
