I used to be a 5:4 kinda guy, but since the GFX I’m now a 4:3 guy. I will never be a 3:2 guy. I’m partial to being a 2.39:1 guy from time to time.

Slowly adding old photos to my site. It’s been nice revisiting photos I haven’t seen in a while. I’m selecting ones I would have discarded a few years ago, and discarding ones I would have selected. Also getting more comfortable with colour after a long time mostly shooting black and white.

I was out of peanuts today, so I took a detour and wore a “disguise” to get to the coffee shop. The crows still found me and I had to sacrifice some of my blueberry muffin which they seemed to like. Crazy how they just know me as the peanut dispensary, no matter what I’m wearing or where I am.

I’ll also finally be putting some of my photos on my site. I have a cool “CMS” with Capture One as the source of truth. I just have to cull down and re-edit a bunch of photos. Have tens of thousands to cut down, not looking forward to it.

Also, say hello to notes. Now I can microblog instead of commiting to big posts which is nice. Posted to my site first, then seeded to bsky (eventually).

I would like my writing to be way more positive. My journal makes me come across quite doomer and I am to some degree, but I’m optimistic humanity will find a way to prosper. We kind of have to. Going to try and keep the writing more positive going forward.

AI helps people make more with less, but it's stripping away the judgement and care that made the internet feel human.

On the dog you wouldn't eat and the cow you do, and what sits between your compassion and your dinner.

Authy has been getting worse for years, so I built my own 2FA app. Sesame is open source, local-first, and free on the App Store.

LLMs are trained on neurotypical conversation patterns. When you say exactly what you mean, the model tries to read between lines that don't exist.

On the Dubai situation and a very British habit of deciding who deserves help.

April me thought productivity guilt was the problem. August me realizes the world may also be to blame.

My brain wants 16-hour coding marathons. My body wants mountains. The guilt is suffocating. Maybe productivity means something different now.

The exhausting reality of platform fragmentation, and a vision for more intimate creative spaces.

Is there room for a more intimate, authentic space for those who genuinely care about the medium of photography?

I've been working on refrakt.app for a little over a year and a half now. Recently however, I've not had the time or motivation to work on it as much as I probably should, and I can't help but feel bad about that.

I've made an impulsive decision to run away to Vancouver, but I really do think it will be good for me. The mountains and slower pace of life are what I need right now.

It's been a very long time since I wrote here, probably a symptom of the way I've been feeling. I've been avoiding some things and trying to distract myself.

Since finding out I’m Autistic half way through 2022, I’ve been thinking a lot about unmasking and reconciling what that means for my identity.

It’s been just over a year since I started this website and I had every intention of writing more often. Things have changed and I think these posts are going to be more like journal entries than proper articles.

It’s kind of weird for me to share this, but this is a personal read about a recent discovery and how it’s impacted me. It may change your perception of me as a person, but hopefully not in a negative way.

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here, but this is what I’ve been up to since my last post where I spoke about burning out.

I apologise for the cringe title, but I’m sharing my experience with burnout and what I’m going to be doing over the next couple of months.
2021-10-23
It’s been a full month since I last posted. I started this in the hopes of getting me writing, and it worked to some degree. There’s just been a lot going on this last month!

In the spirit of being more open, I’m continuing the conversation about therapy. Why and how I got started, and how it’s been so far. Maybe it will be helpful if you’ve been thinking about starting therapy yourself.

Who are you? What is this? Wtf am I reading? Hopefully I can answer some of those questions in this post. This is a new dedicated space for my writing, something I haven’t had for a long time. Enjoy your stay!
