@mlabowicz Yep, that's a good insight. I felt happiest the last few months when I'm outside hiking, camping, backpacking. That was a massive switch to my routine! But the more I do that, the more listless and sadder I feel being at home...

@dm That's a very health stance, Dave. Loudly applauding that over here. I've also cut down my news sources to mostly tech and hiking stuff, but I probably need to AGGRESSIVELY start filtering here (I do love this place).

The negativity seeps in through every little crack.

@invisivel Hmm. Indeed. More of the same with just a slightly different coat of paint.

Also, I went to bad last night with crushing existential dread and severe anxiety about what I'm doing and accomplishing with the years I have left.

So there's that...

@deadlinux "Big moody beanbags of chemicals..." You know what, NOW I've read something that interested me today :D

Thanks for that.

@ernie Finding balance has never been my strength :D
I think all this backpacking, hiking, and camping has fundamentally changed how I'm feeling about most interactions and content online...

Speaking of social media, this would be the ONLY place I truly missed if I just pulled the plug on the internet for a while.

This morning over coffee, I did what I normally do. I scanned the RSS feeds, checked email, browsed the social media platforms I'm on... and absolutely nothing interested me. It felt like a complete waste of time. Maybe this is the "winter blahs" or my typical melancholy November mood -- or maybe it's something deeper this time.

Maybe I'm just tired of the internet. Anyone else feeling this more and more as the years wear on?

@brainofdane This really made my day, thanks Dane. I'm writing about my little adventures mainly because it's cathartic and I enjoy the process, but knowing my enthusiasm is contagious and inspires others to get out there? That's very tasty icing on the cake.

@sheislaurence @dinozombie @SmudgeTheInsultCat YEP. Spreading false information -- even if it's deeply disguised with humor -- is still wrong.

@brainofdane Nice! Yea, it's honestly one of my favorite places on Earth. The next thing I'm going to write about is my hike from Morro Rock to northern Cayucos, all along the beach. It was a blast!

@SmudgeTheInsultCat And yet I can't find that quote anywhere online... Got a source?

@alecaddd

@freax hmm I haven’t explored mirrorless. Thanks for the reminder.

@freax I’m willing to learn the skills. There is simply no good way to zoom with a camera phone… anything far enough away to rely on digital zoom result in worthless pictures

@dflag84 Thank you! I love this thing.

@jlamasfripp Well played.

My latest nature adventure took me to Morro Bay and Montaña de Oro, both located on the Central Coast of California. During the 9 days I spent there, I was able to knock out three personal bucket list hikes. Here's the first one!

Ok NOW I’m ready for this winter.

@AKernelPanic @frameworkcomputer Aside from the amazing concept, I don't think I could even speak 2 full sentences while focusing on swapping out that mainboard. Major props to him.
