A blowout great year for my Google Domains Blogger page, and a quick look forward to the new year.

By Jay Ammon December 31, 2019 A quick overview of my year, here on iPigeon.institute, on Google Blogger, and looking forward, as it's New Year's Eve, today, in sunny Los Angeles, CA, USA. It's been a graciously fortunate year,  and a growth-driven looking forward to future readership interactions and perhaps monetization of my Google Blogger and Google Domains sites,  with iPigeon.institute being the main publication site.   This month has shown itself to have been my strongest month yet,  readership-wise. I feel like I've perhaps broken in to a new demographic for having placed a calculated marketing effort on craigslist, one week.  craigslist still proves to be a powerful medium for establishing localizable and targeted marketing promotions efforts.  A look at the yearly readership stats.  I'm excited to see readership showing strong upward momentum on my publishing efforts.  Thank you,  everyone who's read,  commented,  and contributed in one way or ano

... and Now - a fading-back in to the sky [perspective], of a macro formative sort. A photoblog.

I discovered this curiosity of constellation via my visited locations on Google Maps, just today. I found it to be highly reminiscent of my top hat pigeon "about town." I'm offering some slight markup to prove the point. Here, from a distance, I can plainly see the formative bust of a pigeon wearing a top hat. With some messy mouse-in-hand markup, I've made out the shape of the constellation I see. My original psychological imprint of the phenomenon. What do you think? Did I do this to myself? or are smarter forces than I doing it to me?

Today I fed the freeway pigeons corn dogs. The baby pigeons went wild for it.

On Boxing Day (December 26th), a gracious several findings of the streets, have I.

Boxing Day,  although a Canadian Tradition, turns out to be a fortunate time to hit the streets for some dive-finds.  Today,  I found a nice and new goose down pillow,  A nice thin hoodie | sweats | gloves combo,   and a small box of batch-made chocolates from The Monastery of the Angels ,  in Los Angeles.  It was a good day for collecting recyclables,  as southern California has been experiencing some extreme weather conditions, partly due to nature,  yet curiously enough,  last week's nuclear waste disposal in to the ocean by the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant seemed to have caused an ionic wind,  here in Los Angeles (at least,  I felt that it was correlative, from my perceptive disposition,  on the day that the news came out about it). It's been particularly cold, with some of the days being mild, yet I don't go outside, lately,  without wearing at least 2 sweater layers,  and typically 4 layers,  with thermal underwear long johns underneath.   style="display:

I fed the Manchester | 110 underpass pigeons sweetened cheerios today. They were so cute!

For frustrated developers-would-be(s), the definitive Linux and UNIX (macOS) package management and installation toolset for source code files.

This is super important.  For many people entering in to the development foray on mobile devices (largely); these are imaginably novices (admittedly) in developing their interests and skills in running and managing a Linux distro on meager resources (although time-scaled duplicity and miniaturization [nano] has produced a leaner showing of some breadwinners of iPigeons tech food diet intake, and two of these operating system and integrated development environment platforms stand at the forefront of popularity and adopt-ed-ness amongst those developing within the aforementioned constraints.  The first is Alpine Linux,  which (incidentally) also effluently capitulates and encapsulates the second,  which is Debian.   In essence,  (however), the truth of the matter is that even our own devices (excluding older Microsoft Windows releases, and mobile cellular device manufacturers' mock-up operating systems) had been running a UNIX filesystem fs  all along,  with our folder structures and

Lean development aesthetic gestural poses, using plurisubharmonic octal Fouriers.

As a hauler of a constant endurance load,  being a collector of recyclables (myself), I continually contend with the presence of lumbar (lower back) spine inflammation.  A dull soreness of the base of the spine,  connecting the hip bone. What I've discovered,  through many long hours of attempted self-healing,  some library topic dalliances,  and some critical analysis logic applied to the situation,  is that the periphery joints (which I'll deem "octals," since they are correlated to the "cracking" of the joints - a resonance), and even the extremities,  in the sense of the fingers' knuckles, the ankles and toes,  extend their own harmonic resonance load-bearing capacity of assuaging the long-trek endurance jaunt of a load-bearing laboriousness, in that the relief of these periphery and extremity octal Fouriers of joint-cracking gestures through the various bodily aesthetics employed in natural-poses of a self-sustainable pressure-point healing methodol

How to casually jaunt-AF bwa-bwaio your jaunt in to the holidays (if you've been stuck out of luck).

Image
Call it bold-AF of on of bwa-bwaio bold as the tundra, but some people like it simple when it comes to making casual acquaintances. Such is the early morning rush-hour atmosphere at 5th at Maple, where locals and visitors alike congregate for a daily hosting to suit the most dire production and development schedules. These guys (and ladies) don't joke around much, and for the price of a Starbucks Frappucino, you can dump your year-end charitable contributions on a sponsorship of a young person, out on the streets, trying to make ends meet. Although it may seem strange, I feel that this is the place where so many of us, struggling (holiday season or not) to find our place in life, are destined to end up - finding comradeship and brotherhood through helping out the less fortunate.  Some tips for the locale -  Make it a suitable DTLA outing, and do as the locals do - get out on foot and make your way through the various locales, (if desired), of the area - the Toy District has great d

Pigeons break the press-room news media threshold of appearing quite novel, in fact - in a cowboy's hat.

I happened upon this charming bit of news in Apple News' subscription links, recently, while trawling my emails and, as well - I signed up for, and was accepted in to - ... hmmm... nothing of the sort that I could speak of, with regards to my device being a development-only provision. I dunno. Unless someone actually comes on here and asks me about my day, or something like that...

The seagulls got a good late night snack. They're pretty cute. Lots of babies at the pier in Santa Monica, CA. It turns out, they're very cute as well

Seagulls at the Santa Monica Pier,  with several clutch babies venturing out in to the night, for socialization and some sandwiches.  Check them out some time soon,  this holiday season,  out on the beach just below Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant on the pier. I wasn't sale to get the baby seagulls on film quarreling over the food, since they scurry away after they finish up nibbling.  They're worth an evening trip out to the Pier,  at some point.  Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. 4.2 (4,168)   ·   $$ Seafood restaurant          Open Follow OVERVIEW MENU REVIEWS PHOTOS ABOUT CALL DIRECTIONS SAVE WEBSITE ORDER PICKUP ORDER DELIVERY Family-friendly chain for seafood & American fare served in a fishing-boat-themed setting. 301 Santa Monica Pier Building 9, Santa Monica, CA 90401
