I decided to get a better flash for better portraits, and with the Godox TT350 being available for only $120 at the local photo store, I took the plunge. 2019-04-17More
I knew I wanted a big diffuser to go with my Godox TT350. The salesman at the camera store recommended a $140 Joe McNally Ezybox Speed-Lite 2 Plus, but given that the flash unit itself only cost $120 I balked. Would a $25 diffuser do the job? Turns out it did, and very well indeed. 2019-04-17More
The same low price as Amazon's Glacier, but with instant retrievals and a cost structure that you don't have to be a superhuman AI to understand? Backblaze's B2 Cloud Storage has a very compelling offer. 2019-04-10More

Spring is here - and it's the blue siblings of the wood anemones that are first up through the layer of last year's dead leaves. 2019-04-07More
I think Peter Watts is trying to tell us that he isn't conscious. Besides being a science-fiction version of The Ego Tunnel by Thomas Metzinger, Blindsight is a story that sets out the author's argument that consciousness is an evolutionary mistake and that we would be much better if we would just let our unconscious get rid of that slow and unnecessary awareness. The book is good enough that I'd be willing to buy that argument if he'd reveal that it was written unconsciously. 2019-04-05More
This lens was as close to an impulse buy as I'll ever get. When going from crop-frame sensor to full-frame I had to upgrade not just "normal", day-to-day lenses, but also the ones I use for dance and concert photography. I think I did a single search on Prisjakt and then went out and bought this lens. It was a good buy. 2019-04-04More
Theories about what consciousness is tend to disintegrate into either hand-waving or mysticism. While Metzinger's attempt falls into the former category, he does manage to put up quite a good fight before going down: the goals he sets himself are the right ones, and when he finally does start to become vague it is only because empirical science hasn't yet reached that point. 2019-04-02More
