This week I finished a podcast that we used to produce with my friends for 7+ years. It was a tough decision, it felt like abandoning a child. But we had to do it, and now I almost feel a relief.

A love song for retro computers told through Maurice Ravel’s Boléro (1928) played by Linus Åkesson on his home-made 8-bit musical instruments:

One weird trick to make people think you understand photography — call a photo an “exposure”.

Linus Tech Tips now has production quality that rivals most other tech channels and definitely any TV programs. This video is a great example: a sharp and funny intro, creatively filmed sponsor integrations, a strong script, and a story that’s both educational and entertaining. Highly recommended! This one is about ASML, the Dutch company that builds the machines used to make silicon chips.

Today I was obverving a massive flock of ducks in Hilversum flying somewhere. It was a nice tweede kerstdag evening.

One Polaroid-head, Ben Fraternale, met his fellow enthusiast Jesse Lin in China, and they went on fun instant-photo adventures. This is so wholesome!
