Some more photos of dogs.

30th
Aug. × ’09

I’m not sure why, but for the second day in a row, when out with the wide angle lens, dogs have presented themselves as good models. Maybe I just want to get close to the ground, and dogs are at the right kind of height. I popped down to museum island on the bike, mainly [...]

New camera, new lens.

30th
Aug. × ’09

Today I went out with my new camera, a Canon 500D to replace the 400D I’ve used for the past two years. Not a lot to report, to be honest, but the larger screen is nice. And my nose doesn’t press the buttons as much when I turn the camera sideways. Actually, the rearranging of [...]

Some news…

29th
Aug. × ’09

I’ve been a bit unwell this week, and haven’t felt like blogging. But I have done other stuff. Here’s some things, in no particular order: I made a video showing a large majority of all the photos Pola and I took of ourselves while holding the camera at arm’s length.

Air Bounce Tricks (a juggling video)

14th
Aug. × ’09

Another studio video, presenting some interesting patterns… or at least they are interesting to me. In each of these patterns, balls are bouncing off each other in the air. I came up with these techniques years ago and try them out every now and then… but only in private! I’ll never use these tricks in [...]

I had my August novel all planned, well thought out, everything ready to go. Two stories would be told side by side, chapter by chapter, with one showing the back story of one main character, Adam, and the other following the main course of action of another character, H, with the two characters meeting half [...]

A message to new podcasters about titles and ID3 tags.

12th
Aug. × ’09

I just posted this to a forum, but thought I’d post it here too, so I can link to it easily when asked for podcasting advice. Sort out your titles and ID3 tags right now! Not every single person downloads podcasts via iTunes, which re-titles and stores the audio files using the information in the [...]

Where I write.

10th
Aug. × ’09

I’ve seen links all over to the website called Where I Write, which features photos of science fiction and fantasy authors in the places where they write. For example: So, after seeing yet another link to the same website, I thought I’d share a photo of the place I write. I’ve got time to spare [...]

Filter vs Datedness in old science fiction.

6th
Aug. × ’09

I got an interesting listener email about old science fiction. Here’s an excerpt: Listening to your previous review of Jules Verne’s novel I remembered that as a kid I used to get his books from the library all the time, multiple times. Today however, I hesitate to read anything this old – for the only [...]
