I took a rare walk to the northmost neighborhood of Brooklyn NYC, Greenpoint. While I was there, I went to the Newtown Creek Nature Walk with a friend. There was not too much nature (to be fair, it was early March), but I did photograph a bright orange ocean fender and a NYC Department of Environmental Protection boat named the H.S.V. Piping Plover.

I wrote an article on my main project, The New Leaf Journal, collecting English-language sources on "ai ai gasa." While I found several photos to use in the article, I decided to lead with a rare example of my original, expert artwork. I tend to not show examples of my art because I think the level I draw at could intimidate mere hobbyists (look at the almost straight lines!), but I set those fears aside to show a powerful message: You love The New Leaf Journal and The New Leaf Journal loves you.

You never know what you will find while walking around in Brooklyn, New York. For example, here is a discovery from an October 14, 2022 walk -- an unopened gallon of Poland Spring water. It came with the "Free H2O" label lest anyone would have mistaken it for being lost instead of free.

Photograph of Manhattan from close to the Manhattan pedestrian walkway entrance/exit of the Brooklyn Bridge. I wrote a short post praising NYC and the NYPD for actually following through on clearing vendors and other impediments from the walkway -- making for a pleasant walk despite there being a good number of people.

A photograph of the Carroll Gardens branch of the Brooklyn Public Library in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The library was closed for improvements in July 21, 2023 and will remain closed for 18-24 months from that date. I took this photo on August 19, 2023.

My Logitech K310 keyboard after a good washing and scrubbing in my kitchen sink. I have been using this as my main desktop keyboard since April 2013 and it is still going strong after countless keystrokes, many cleanings, and one coffee incident. Sadly, Logitech discontinued it several years ago.

The ultimate test of my theory that a Santa hat can make just about anything Christmas. Not Tux (surely that penguin is Tux), but the gentleman just behind Tux.

Cardinals are somewhat Christmas-y for a variety of reasons, but I still ordinarily associate them with warmer months (from my New York perspective). However, if you put a Santa hat on a cardinal -- it is clearly and beyond doubt Christmas-y.
