Awfully close to setting up a photography blog (in Finnish) with few guys since we're only 110% busy all the time. Fortunately none of us have time to think about the name.

Sent some film for development. I hope they come back with better pictures than I sent them with. There's also a photo of two blue A110s side by side, which I know will hurt me when I see it.
pray for us St Giorgio, now and at the hour of aesthetic discourse
Moving in a few months so had my last ever doctor's appointment at the hospital I was born in. My doctor clearly had a hard time saying goodbye, we've had a good routine for the past years.
He’s going to get outflanked and beat a hasty-but-orderly retreat while abandoning most of his material assets?
You keep using that term, I do not think it means what you think It means With apologies to The Princess Bride. See ALT. @alanallport.bsky.social
"Come to Norway", they said. "You'll love the views", they said.
I see Audi is keeping up with its heritage by introducing new design ideas about a year later. Tho losing to Jaecoo was not on my cards, probably should have been.
"I made a mistake in that sentence—the Nikon 180-600mm is actually 95.5 mm longer than the 70-200mm.I meant to say that the 70-200mm is longer than the Tamron 50-400mm (which is 185.8 mm), but I typed the wrong lens name. Thank you for catching that!" – Google AI trying to plead "I mistyped".
Anyone who doesn’t see how very satisfied I’ve been throughout production doesn’t get what I most want out of an adaptatation. Mind you, that does tend to happen.
Still not convinced established companies need to launch new products through Kickstarter. Just unbelievable additional hassle instead of letting preorder directly.
Because I didn't get invited to Goodwood FoS, here's a story from Aurora Concours. Swedes really know how to set up a concourse level event that is also openminded and inclusive beyond the typical. moottori.fi/uutinen/oi-a...
Oi Aurora Concours: autorakkautta ja harrastamisen iloa ruotsalaisittain
Ruotsin Skånessa järjestettävä Aurora Concours on nostanut itsensä kolmessa vuodessa muiden concourse-tapahtumien rinnalle tekemällä asioita eri tavalla ja rikkomalla totuttuja luokkarajoja.

My wife says I remind her of James Bond. I’m not good at following orders, I’m emotionally dead, and she’d like to see the role go to Idris Elba.
I'll tell more about the Twingo adventure later, but here's a panorama I did from the Hambach coal quarry. The whole area with the villages feels like... closing time.
Geesh, it even jumps a bit. Good thing EU is finally calling bullshit on Tesla’s ”safety claims” based on ”data”.
anyone who works with computer vision will never use Tesla's Autopilot, and for good reasosn
Nic Cage as Snake Eyes! Pretty decent film and a masterclass how they used to make films in the 90s without taking shortcuts.
Washed some branded jeans that are all TOUGH and RUGGED until you show them a washing machine. Then it's all "oh no don't wash us wrong we will die" and "here's seven certificates of authenticity including RFID, but who knows how to wash us".
Decided to look into that reflecting pool i keep hearing about, and idk there's some blue in it
This was a good take on the loss of a parent, with some similarities to my own father and his death. There are of course many differences, but still. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/20/o...

Living life on the fast lane: ordering camera strap loops from a French website while knowing just about enough French to get myself out from Charles de Gaulle.
Holy meta Dave the Diver is wild. Last night played through Balatro and Metal Gear bits. Sometimes I feel it's the spiritual sequel to Assassin's Creed 2 in "how much random stuff can there be AND the game still somehow holds together".
Sooooo... I went from using an Apple Watch (love the data, hate the notification and without notifications might just as well use something else) to an activity tracker (Polar Loop since I care about my data). That means I can now use a normal watch again, so I'm immediately back to my last love.
Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.
My interest in Elon's "space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale" is that could he go there himself on opening day to cut the space ribbon or whatever, thanks.
Today I would extend a road disapproval to driver's who "apex everything" (unknowingly) by cutting their line at a junction, thus preventing from the oncomer of advancing.
Until Dawn 2 deserves its own thing: looks worse and more horny than the original, BUT... We played Until Dawn 1 at the uni with a group and everyone got to control -a character- and make those choices, and we finished the game in one sitting. People STILL TO THIS DAY talk about "you shot me!" and
State of Play in a nutshell: -Ace Combat 8 release daaaaate!!! -Stuntman writes a big cheque, let's see if they can cash it -Bancho (Dave the Diver) looks great! Day 1 if I can finish Dave first. -Wolverine looks pretty solidly Spider-manny, probably day 1 -Gitaroo Man yay!
