I had a GP-1 at one point. It would take several seconds to get a GPS lock, so about a third of the time my images had no GPS or I had to wait for the light to indicate it was work…

In Northwest Portlnd, Oregon the East-west streets were originally letters. A st, B st, C st, etc. They were renamed after people but they kept the first letter, so now its Ankeny,…

I observed this in New England while living in a city with evenly distributed population. The polling locations were more abundant in the wealthier side of the city. This may not h…

Oops! Correction: It is a rangefinder but uses lidar to measure the distance rather than parallax.

This is a viewfinder camera with scale focus. Rangefinders have a complex mechanism to measure distance which would be beyond the scope of this project. In early Leica cameras, the…

I was in a second floor bedroom in an old creaky wooden house for the "Spring Break Quake" in Salem, Oregon in 1993. The whole house rocked back and forth and I got out of bed to s…

Should we blame an old timey basic webpage for its lack of complexity or should we blame a modern browser for not accommodating the web in its most simple form?

I have a QoocamEgo and have found it pretty disappointing even at that price point. It takes about 30 seconds to start up, chews through battery quickly, and has poor autofocus. I …

I walked by the Starbucks in my neighborood recently and there were about 30 customers inside sitting at long tables. Every single person was staring at an electronic device. Maybe…

About a year ago, I had an opportunity to use an 8x10 field camera. This description is correct. I didn't have any film, so I loaded the film holder with paper and developed it und…

I photo/video lights from Neweer that use a Sony standard battery which may or may not be made by Sony. This seems to be because media creators already have these batteries/charger…

I was diagnosed with T2 last year, and started a CGM (Freestyle Libre 3) like you did. I started off with lists of foods I could eat, but the monitor let me see actual data on what…

The EPA Air Quality Index isn't everything, but it is a standard value displayed in a phone weather app. I'll notice in times and places when I suspect its bad. If you live outside…

Before that there was Powell's Techinical Bookstore on the North park blocks. That store had a cat named Fup that was really old. Every year, they would print birthday stickers for…

Freestyle Libre 3 only has a plastic filament and the plastic applicator pushes it in without pain. Very different than metal lancets (stick test). I can't feel it at all when its …

I'm currently wearing the Freestyle Libre 3. It communicates with the app every minute. I have something between pre-diabetes and diabetes so I have a slight chance at being able t…

I think smoking has become much less common. I rent in Cambridge, MA and my lease prohibits smoking of any kind, which I think is standard. Once the landlord sent out an angry emai…

I feel like it could be as simple as people poorer neighborhoods trying to buy the cheapest data/tv plan. In some countries this would be considered a necessity like electricity/se…

I would “collect” them by taking photos.

Supreme court chief justice Oliver Wendell Holmes identified Boston as “The Hub of the Solar System", which is still somehow how people in the area think of themselves in my opinio…

The ACA was largely based on the Massachusetts healthcare plan, so they had already successfully implemented much of this.

Its micro four thirds so its a major crop of the 35mm frame. A normal lens will have the image angle of a telephoto. Its cool that they actually have it working though.

I agree. Optima is a humanist sans-serif but he doesn't seem to know that terminology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Humanist_sans-serif_t...

Boston's Museum of Fine Arts has a bench built by George Nakashima that guests cans sit on. Its one of my favorite things at MFA. https://www.mfa.org/article/2020/bench-with-back
