Once in a while I get seized by the desire to write these, not sure it's really going anywhere or that there's a point. I keep calling them trip reports of the 500ug trip I had in April of 2018, though as we get further from that date it feels a little silly. On the other hand, I truly feel that a new person was born that day, one that was based on but not bounded by the life I lived before.

If you read my previous reports, you might remember the Annihilating Light of Creation that I encountered, both inside me and around me. I ran into it rather suddenly, one second I was having a conversation with a friend about how weird it is that our minds can contain multiple languages, the next I was

Not a direct trip report, but rather musings from collecting thoughts discovered while tripping. In a way tripping is like digging for treasure; you dive deep into the ground and pull up a lot of stuff, but it's all pretty worthless unless you take the time to carefully go through it and separate the gold diamonds from the dirt. I dropped 500ug 9 months ago and even now I feel like I am still going through it all. I've been helped along the way with some reading and discussion, and even now I am discovering things that came up during that trip.

My X1 Extreme will be here in about 2 weeks, planning to use it as a desktop replacement and travel laptop. The Lenovo branded dock is over $350, but looks like it has an impressive array of ports. Any recommendations for a cheaper unit by an off brand?

This weekend I returned to the same park to camp, and reflected on how my life has changed since that trip.

In some ways I feel like the "trip" never ended. In many ways I never returned to the "old" me that was before. In my original trip report, I mention passing through a white light that annihilated my being, only to be reconstructed on the other side. I still feel that way, like I've crossed some barrier that I'll never uncross, and the thoughts and feelings I had before that experience f

Relatively new to the Sony FE system, having come from a Canon 5D MkII to a A7III. I basically shot manual focus only on the Canon, and greatly enjoy the insane (to me) amount of AF options available with the A7III. That being said, been looking at the two above MF only lenses by Voigtlander.

Aside from the obvious difference in FL and fstop, I'd love more information on how these lenses compare. In particular, what "style" or use-cases would each apply to?
