📚 Reading Snowden’s book and it’s pretty incredible how all of Internet traffic is currently being automatically surveyed, profiled and permanently logged. Maybe in addition to film photography I should go back to cash, printed books and distribute my podcast on c-cassettes.
📷 The idea was to hide in this cave from the rains of Northern Highlands, but as it turned out there was an underground waterfall here, which dispersed water across the whole cave. A very pretty cave tho.
I’ve also loaded a roll of Fuji Velvia slide film at ISO 50. I’m either desperate or very optimistic about some sunshine in the next few days.
It still rains every day and night, but the weather in Highlands changes very quickly and in between of pouring rain I fly my drone and take slide film pics 🎞 Northern Scotland looks a lot like Norway.
📷 Cairngorms Park in Scotland looks a lot like Finnish Lapland this time of the year. The rain has stopped but the winds are still strong so no droning yet. Taking lots of slide film pics on Kodak Ektachrome.
📷 Our first stop on this Scotland adventure is Edinburgh. It’s mostly coffee and rain so far. And an occasional sabre toothed cat.
Edinburgh is one my favourite places on this island nevertheless - good size, plenty of book shops and an ancient super vulcano as a downtown park.
Did an extensive blog on how we approach shadow testing at scale. If you are tasked with releasing business critical backend features for the web, read on alexsavin.me/eng/posts…
My dream camera is of course panoramic Hasselblad Xpan, but the current prices for those are close to astronomical nowadays 🚀
I’m actually semi excited about the new GoPro Max camera - from the sound of it you can use it as a normal GoPro, 360 videos are not a pain to process anymore and sound is improved too (6 mics onboard)
Made a video about fixing my Pioneer laserdisc player. Because why not. If you were wondering how a giant disc looks like spinning and lasered, this is the video for you. www.youtube.com/watch

🎮 Atom RPG is so much improved over the past few months - now with a vast underground Metro network to explore
🎮 Also taking recommendations for recent good quality post apocalyptic RPG:s. With a great storyline ideally.
Atom RPG is probably the best post nuclear game since Fallout II, and the update they’ve released for free is like a whole solid chunk of unexplored tech wilderness ☢️
So Vimeo has finally started removing videos with copyrighted music - unlike YouTube they just delete the whole video
Was kind of excited about always on display on the new Apple Watch and now they say this feature destroys the battery and is better to switch it off. I guess Pebble Watch is still great if you want both.
📻 Somehow missed the whole Zone 51 debacle and Joe Rogan’s podcast episode with Bob Lazar 🛸 👽 - a very entertaining listen overcast.fm/+uBHz74
