The Big Dipper

I couldn’t choose just 4 to put in a Twitter post, so I went over here, where 10 are allowed.

I was trying to get Pearl to play for photos, but they got sabotaged by her moving too fast, then the iPhone - once she stood still - insisting what I actually wanted to focus on was the pattern on a background object, or a small line of text on another background object! Definitely not the cat it’s been putting the “this is clearly the subject of the photo” box! That’s just there for framing purposes, and clicking the cat to force focus was obviously a mistake, so I’ll undo that and go back to ensuring a 3 pixel tall corporate logo is crisp and clear!

Got out the mouse on a string toy, and soon lost Pearl to other cats swooping in to attack it. Dipper gracefully attacked while staying in the same spot, and glory was achieved anyway!

So, sure, have a cat pic post. Maybe this public post will get shared, new eyes on the Patreon will improbably lead to new pledges, and they will teach me that it’s a good idea to post more kitties to break up the deranged busywork that is the Momentum project. Maybe.

Feeling optimistic, Pearl?
