  • Packaging waste…

    I ordered a little tool, something that can easily tighten and loosen all the things i need on a tripod/camera setup. It came today. Of course in carton, and inside there was the obligatory carton of the company making the tool. In that carton was this: And when you open the inside box, you find…

  • CFExpress: Prograde Card Reader

    As I am in the process of switching systems and my new Camera has CFExpress cards + SD cards, I need a new card reader. Ideally one that does those 2 formats. There are not a lot for that purpose. Most card readers are either the old style (SD, CF, micro), or just CFExpress/XQD(and be careful, some of…

  • You are fired !

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Not the outcome I was hoping for, as Biden will be very much blocked by the Republican Senate, assuming the election continues as it is currently predicted. But, at least, the psychopath is gone. Good riddance, it’s time. 

  • Warhammer 40K

    After Games Workshop pretty much killed the game I spend a lot of time in (Warhammer Fantasy Battles), and replaced it with Age of Sigmar, where my army does not exist anymore, I pretty much gave up on the hobby for a few years. Then, after moving to Zurich, my Son and I visited Tactica…

  • Donald is teaching history

    Today, Donald is teaching us about American history. He is complaining about the 1619 project (which won a Pulitzer), calling it left-wing propaganda. Trump said children should know “they are citizens of the most exceptional nation in the history of the world”.” I can understand that you want to paint your own country in the…

  • QAnon and social media

    The Guardian had an interesting read today (as they often have): Save the Children It will take you 15min to read, but I think it is worth your time. It raises a lot of interesting issues about US society, the role of Facebook/Instagram. Sadly it only paints the picture of the problem, without offering solutions.…

  • Herd mentality

    “It would go away without the vaccine George,” he said speaking to ABC journalist George Stephanopoulos. “With time it goes away. And you’ll develop like a herd mentality. It’s going to be herd developed, and that’s going to happen. That will all happen.” He repeated this several times. Herd mentality. I am pretty sure, most…

  • He wanted to play it down…

    As it is all over the news these days, I like to make a point that most of the news outlets, as often with Trump, don’t make. It is fine to say “I did not want to create a panic, I wanted to play it down”. It is fine to say that, but I don’t…

  • Udemy

    During the start of the pandemic, i took advantage of Udemy, and got 3 courses of interest. Since then, since April 2020, not a week passes by that Udemy is not spamming me with another “greatest sale, last sale, final sale” of the season. This is ridiculous, and all they are achieving is that I…

  • Michelin Anakee Adventure

    Given the fact that I will be at another Enduro Training in a few weeks, I needed to replace the Metzler Tourance Next that came with the bike. I did not like those at all, they seem to cause a noise between 50–80 km/h, a high pitched whining. Does not seem to be uncommon from…
