El Diario no tan Diario de Kirby.
We won the Watering Can Award! The award was a type of rotating trophy that was awarded to the team that met certain goals. These are photos taken the time that the team that I was a part of won the distinguished recognition.

For a while now, I’ve wanted to create a short channel intro or trailer, but I kept putting it off because I wasn’t sure how to briefly capture the wide variety my channel includes. However, after deciding on the 📟 Analog to Digital: A Time Warp Journey , I realized it was time to also create a TikTok for No Tan Diario Chronicles—both to expand my audience and for cross-posting opportunities.
Today, I finally took the time to create a TikTok for No Tan Diario Chronicles. For the first video, I decided to make a short intro/trailer using my current YouTube banner. It includes:
The banner’s background is a fusion of flags I identify with: the U.S., Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and Rainbow Pride flags. This design was previously featured in the AI Flag Fusion video on Amalgam Creative Arts (watch here).
I've created both horizontal and vertical versions of the intro. In addition to adding this to the 'An Evolving Upload' playlist, I’ll also include it in 'A Chronological Journey' and 'Artsy Craftsy Dishy Folksy' playlists since it’s an artsy creation with today’s date.
Another thing to note: With TikTok now in the mix, I'll be sharing some of my newly uploaded content. I may edit and enhance some posts, so stay tuned to relive past videos on YouTube too!

For a period of time I had been saving Target magazines with the intention of making various different crafts with them. Though I did make some, ultimately there were just too many so I tossed them all. This is a photo I took of the last of the Target magazines as a sort of memento to remember that period of time.

You may remember when I wrote about the creation of my 📼 Analog Musings playlist/label was due to my desire to digitize my small collection of music and videos that came from Cassettes, VHS, Vinyl, and maybe even some DVDs and early Blu-Ray Discs.
No Tan Diario Chronicles ~ Pre-2025 Blog: 📼 Analog Musings
By now you've hopefully read what the No Tan Diario Chronicles: 📼 Analog Musings playlist entails.
While working on 📼 Analog Musings it was still on the back of my mind what those other playlists/labels would be, how would they be categorized, a catchy name for each, and what would that section within my YouTube channel and perhaps even on other socials would be named.
Over the past week or so I've come up with the names for the other playlist/label categories and today I finalized the name of the section, which will be 📟 Analog to Digital: A Time Warp Journey.
Though I don't have videos yet for all the playlists/labels, below is the list of what that section will encompass. Future posts on the specifics of each, except 📼 Analog Musings which I've previously shared about.

I suppose a before and after would have been best, but alas didn't think of it at the time.
