When I saw that display: grid-lanes was coming I realized I could soon get rid of my masonry JavaScript layout and enjoy browser-smooth layout instead. But I couldn't get what I wanted: a dynamic number of columns, where each column was at most MAX-WIDTH wide, but could shrink to MIN-WIDTH to fit more columns. After playing around a bit I came up with this:

I wanted a way to put my LS-P5 to the test, and fortunately the Royal College of Music is just around the corner, and they have some amazing free concerts. I picked the first one I could attend - Kammarmusik kring slagverk, and was duly impressed by the percussion class and friends led by Joakim Anterot and Daniel Berg. For more Daniel Berg, you can listen to Arctic Nights on YouTube.

Good video is one thing, but if you really want immersion you need good sound. The LS-P5 from OM System (previously Olympus) is a small recorder with good quality sound, in a small package, for a nice price.

I was selling my old GPU on Blocket when I saw an ad for a Zoom H2 for 300 SEK ($30). Ever since I filmed Yamato - The Drummers of Japan and was surprised at how much better the final product was thanks to the Nikon ME-1 microphone that I used, I've wanted to improve the sound in my videos.

I thought I'd try HDR video and while at it, see if it makes sense to shoot in 1080p and then upscale to 4k. The latter would make it possible for me to use my Nikon D600 and my collection of lenses for it, besides drastically cutting down on the size of the recorded video files. If not, I'd have to shoot on my only 4k-capable camera, a Panasonic Lumix LX15.

Because 360 degrees aren't enough when converting from VR video to normal video and you want a circular fisheye effect.

Bigsh0t 2.1 has been released, with equirectangular-to-fisheye transform and optimizations.
I had my GhettoPro 360, but the footage that came out of it when I was biking was, simply put, unusable. It was simply too unsteady. I suppose it's because the lenses on the Theta SC sits on the end of a cantilevered arm, so any vibration of the helmet causes the camera to swing wildly.

Can't afford a GoPro helmet mount for your 360 camera? There's a cheaper solution for that. The downside is that you risk getting an M8 screw clean through your skull if you crash, but if you use GhettoPro 360 you weren't using your brain anyway.

Since a DSLR qualifies as a small electronic device, and since it isn't transmitting, I suddenly god the bright idea of recording the takeoff and landing.

August 31st was a day with too many things happening in too many places for me to be able to cover them all. It's as if everyone realized that they had to get some festival or performance out the door before September started! Also, the weather gods decided they had a bunch of rain they had to get rid of before the end of the month.
The result was me running between Husbyfestivalen (Husby Festival) in Husby, and Kistaloppet (The Kista Run) which took place in Kista and had the runners make a loop down to Akalla before coming up through Husby and back to Kista. I can say that Kistaloppet this year had water not just available at checkpoints but everywhere.

A "hafla" - which is Arabic for "party" - has taken on the meaning of a simpler dance show in the bellydancing community. Both beginners and advanced dancers are welcome to perform in a friendly and encouraging context. This show was at the Layali Oriental Dance Academy in Stockholm, and was my first time shooting video in anger with my new Nikon D3200.

Stockholm's annual culture festival usually passes without any attention from aloof and uncultured persons such as myself, but this year a recommendation of a friend made me go to Gustav Adolf's Square to watch a show that I was told included both acrobatics and music. It did. Voala put on an amazingly good show called Muaré. The music and the performance complemented each other very well; and the intensity of the show was just right: Forty-five minutes was enough to make you not feel cheated out of an experience, but not so much that you grow tired of it.

I was invited to the end-of-semester Layali Dance Academy student show; and while it isn't something I'd claim to be "into", I figured why not, the wider my horizons, the better. So I accepted and went. The show was great and included a few surprises mixed in with the more traditional acts. For example, what I can best describe as an Oriental version of the Thriller dance set to a dubstep track, and a pair of Lucias performing. I've included an eight-second snippet of one of the acts; if that's not enough there are more (and longer) clips from Layali shows at Youtube. Then there's of course the show at the end of every semester.

Originally this was intended to have a slow, industrial music track and consist of slow-motion city scenes. But then I found the track "Hyper Threading" by Zeropage and I realized that everything gets more interesting when it goes 20 times faster. A vestige of the original idea remains in the very first clip - the one of a light with a spiral staircase.
