Climbing mountain goat

Made by my spouse decades ago when then-Storage Technology gave away tiny chips. (If you're into geeky 'where are they now queries', Storage Tech was acquired by Sun Microsystems, which was later acquired by Oracle Corporation.)

 

But back to our wee 2cm chip. He is climbing a tiny piece of driftwood. That's a winter leaf or two behind him (he has very long horns or antennae, hence his gender). Bokeh balls come from a crumpled piece of foil some distance away. Tried this outdoors, but a strong wind toppled the fearless mountain goat.

 

I think perhaps Howard made EPROM earrings for me around the same time (see first comment).

 

In January 2022 I asked for help and a Flickr support hero removed both of my accounts from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed and my jaw no longer hurts. I’m grateful to SmugMug for saving Flickr, and I have nothing against Explore; it just is not for me—especially during this pandemic.
