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 working. Not very practical in my case. Also it connected via an

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, Burnside, Couch, Davis, Everett, Flanders, Gleason, Hoyt, I

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 have been straight racism; there was no way for me to determi

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 rangefinder and view finder were separate mechanisms on 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 see if there had been an explosion. Its spooky how

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 set focus manually by guessing and then use "sport mode

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 that's how a public square works nowdays.

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 under a safelight in the darkroom. This isn't a typic

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/chargers. So maybe sometimes the market does give people

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 was happening. Its not very accurate, but the absolute numb

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 a city in place without forest fires or other env

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 the cat and give them away. I still have one that I us

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 in the back of my arm. If I were worried about sweating

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 email threatening eviction if someone in our building didn'

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/sewer/water so from that perspective LA perhaps

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 opinion. I live in the area. So it would be this: https:&#x2

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.

Yeah, if anyone can find any information about the source of the data that would be useful. They can say they're transparent over and over again, but that doesn't necessarily make it so. Also, if they're selling their informa

I also have an X-E3, which I recently took on an international trip. Its compact, but but a key feature is its low value which means its not especially precious. Its one of the best featured cameras where I wouldn't be upset if it was

My employer provides Yubi keys, which have no value other than being an auth mechanism and fit on a keychain. I have one configured as a backup.
