This is going to help me improve the usefulness of my Evernote account.
A lot.
Long but good.

Being sick today made it impossible to venture out for a more unique photo. Is the sight of Miss 1 digging in to her first mac and cheese [and ham] unique enough?

If you follow me elsewhere (Instagram, Twitter, etc.) you might already know that I have a rare problem with my digestive system.
It’s called achalasia, and my least favourite symptom is the need to lie down after every few mouthfuls of food or drink. If I don’t, I’ll bring it up all up again. Not even water goes down smoothly. (It’s actually miraculous anything goes down at all.)
There’s an upside, though: I get forced to look at things from a different perspective.
My love of trees has only increased as a result.
(Favourite symptom: losing 20+ kilograms without even trying.)
Sick Day, by xkcd

I was shooting a wedding all day yesterday, but still managed to find and shoot this at 11:55pm.
Bonus points if you can tell me where it is.

Shot in the dying minutes of daylight, posted in the dying minutes of the day.

I couldn’t choose just one photo today, so you’re getting 3.
My project, my rules.
White Betty went swimming in some mud today. She loved it.

Chase Jarvis on the “Best Mirrorless of Them All”
Great round-up from one of the modern legends of photography.
Of course the obvious but unstated conclusion is that Fujifilm’s offerings are the best.
(I wish this were a sponsored post, but I just love my X100 and X-Pro 1 is all.)

Mr 3’s legs are so rarely used for sitting, I celebrated with a photo.
On the elimination of leap seconds
On the elimination of leap seconds
You’re probably already familiar with the xkcd webcomic, but if you’re not following the author’s “What if?” blog, you really should be. It’s like MythBusters, but for hypotheticals way too grand to actually test. If you’re into science or maths, you’ll love it, but even if you’re not, you’ll still find it approachable, hilarious and fascinating.
Today’s post, for example, answers this question from a reader in Germany:
Every now and then we have to insert a leap second because the Earth’s rotation is slowing down. Could we speed up Earth’s rotation, so that we do not need Leap Seconds?
Clicky clicky!
