2019 things to resolute

Since everyone is wishing new epic achievements for the new year, here are my 2c:

  • try to work less
  • do the work/life balance
  • start a new hobby that doesnโ€™t bring you any money or fame
  • be nice to people
  • do more sports as this will pay off in a long run
  • protect your mental health as you are the one in charge of that - no one else will give a ๐Ÿ’ฉ about it
  • chill more, worry less if you can

Alright, have a happy New 2019 Year everyone! This is the year when Iโ€™ve decided to start a micro blog and mostly stop tweeting. Letโ€™s make more great content next year - more videos, podcasts, micro posts and film pictures. ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘Œ

๐ŸŽž One thing I’ve tried this year for the very first time is slide film photography. Kodak has resurrected their iconic Ektachrome E100 film and I’ve got a roll while we were travelling in Easter Germany this November. This is what happened.

All I want for Christmas is Virgin Media not throttling my upload speeds and letting it go above 1.5Mbs for my 200 Mbit connection

A dilemma of micro blog - is it a blog, is it an Instagram, is it a Twitter?

Iโ€™ve just realised that JIRA is basically Lotus Notes ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Whoa HBO is coming up with a film about Brexit, it is out in January and stars Benedict Cumberbatch www.youtube.com/watch

One of the absolute best games on NES - Robocop 3. Groundbreaking for a NES game in so many ways, and I’ve just realised how short it was - a speed run is only 13 mins long www.youtube.com/watch

๐Ÿ“ท A freshly scanned roll of expired Kodak Ektar 100 medium format film with pictures from September. This one is from Portsmouth. Shot on Mamiya C33 camera, which is this huge massive block of perfection. Mostly metal, yes, and one of the heaviest cameras I have.

๐Ÿ“ท A very grainy 35mm Film Washi type F - a film used for medical X-Ray, now repurposed for casual photography. Shot on Agfa Flexilette. It seems to behave the best in the shadows, as it is way too sensitive for sunlight.
