Getting closer to migrating all my Google Drive items over to Proton. Pretty soon, the day will come that if you’re still on gmail my replies will be encrypted Proton emails. I will not give Google my data anymore, not via email, search, Chrome, drive, cal, maps. None of it. We’re done.

This album is great so far, just started: sayagray.bandcamp.com/live/saya-li...

If you need another reason to get off Google completely.

I’m a fan of Bandcamp listening parties. My first one was recently for @theweatherstation.bsky.social’s great new album, it combined the immersion of a full-album listen w/ a supportive group vibe and the artist in the chat. Like going to the movies and sitting with the actors. Tonight I’ll be here:

For anyone looking for a bit of low-key photography advice, mentoring, feedback, dialogue, quick questions, what have you, I’m trying out what I’m calling a ‘photo cafe’ concept on Ko-fi. Take a look, I’m here to help! ko-fi.com/billcrandall

For those looking to get off Google Maps, nerd out with me for a moment. Here are screenshots from my two new map apps today in Nairobi. As my wife and I walked our dogs in Karura Forest, I pulled them up to see how they handled the same location.

I’ve been sort of processing my Nairobi project by slowly rolling it out on Substack, I have a Gallery section of my newsletter homepage. With links to a darkroom.com page for prints. We’ll see how it goes, at the very least it’s helping me work out my ideas and choices.
