Feeling Undecided β Thinking Out Loud
Believe it or not, I’m still undecided about what to use for my summer travel journal. My options are 1) A new dedicated blog with Micro.blog, 2) Scribbles, 3) Pixelfed, 4) None of the above. I’m also undecided about how much effort I want to put into this. Micro.blog’s image β¦ read more

Gearing up for our next trip to the United States of America[^1] on October, 2024: going to New York for a long weekend. Right before the elections. And you know what? It will take a long time before I back in the US if this dangerous clown ever gets elected[^2].
[^1] I prefer the long version. [^2] That will happen my friends. Mark my words.

What would be the best or the most suitable Micro.blog visual theme for a travel journal type of blog? Outpost? I find it drab. Maybe Typewriter? Currently testing the latter on numericcitizen-test.micro.blog.

I’m happy to announce my next trip: Croatia in June-July. First time over there! I plan to bring my big camera (Nikon D750); I’m not just ready to leave it behind yet. I would be frustrated if I missed photo opportunities because I had “only” the iPhone.

Feeling sad this morning π₯ about the consequences of the earthquake in Morroco. I’m trying to get news from our guide to see if he is ok. ππ»

I played with Appleβs Maps Places feature, as shown in the following video. Itβs nice, but itβs not exactly intuitive. There are many missing features, like setting a path between places and adding photos to a place within the guide, from the Photos.app for example to name a few. Also, itβs not clear if a shared guide gets updated if new places are added, or places are removed.

Two used, two more to go. I accidentally dropped my Apple Pencil on the floor while getting my iPad in a security tray at the airport. Just like for toasts, they always fall on the wrong side. π©

Back home. π I have so many things to work on. Itβs a typical return from vacation mood.

There is a lot to say about this new terminal A. Chairs with integrated cup holders, accessible charging ports (USB-A, USB-C, std power outlet), big information display panels with clear directions, easy to ear speakers, etc. I love this place! Remaining problem: too low temperature everywhere we go in the US. They are crazy to set temperature at 70-72F. It is fucking too cold!!! And not environmentally friendly.

Just went through the security at Newark Airportβs new terminal A. Boy the scanners are so cool. The personal see our bags in 3D and can swipe the thing on a big screen! Impressive. Very efficient but technology has limits and that might explain why the guy wanted to open my bag for further inspection. π€¨π±π΅π»

I want to stay in my holiday bubble and live a life of sun, sea sand and little to no worries. Source: Greg Morris - Back To Work
I return to work, tomorrow at noon. I can relate to what Greg was feeling.

Spending the rest of the day at a hotel near the Newark airport. Hotels like this one are dull x 1000.π Our next flight is very early tomorrow morning, leaving no time to go to Manhattan for dinner, sadly.π UberEat for lunch tonight, Indian food, which we love a lot! π Should be arriving home in the middle of Monday morning. A quick shower and hop go to work!

Each passage in an airport is a reminder how bad signs design and positioning can be. Is there any airport designer on earth?

It is with sadness that Iβm spending the last few hours of my full day in Tenerife. It was a great nine days trip to a country that I knew nothing about. Over the course of my stay, I managed to complete the full circle of the island. The south shore is much warmer and more humid than the north shore. Tenerife is a Spain territory and it’s a good thing! I love Spain food so much!

Surprisingly useful during travel. This is Series 8 with watchOS 10 beta 4.

If all goes well today, I should be able to make it to a site with many abandoned buildings. this could be a great photo opportunity. This would be the first site outside Canada where I practice urban exploration (aka “urbex”). Feeling excited. π

Thought of the day: Tenerife beauties and greatness make me feel humbled as a living species.

Tenerife, in many ways, reminds me of Hawaii. Vegetation, volcano, photography opportunities and the weather, all contribute to this feeling. I would say that it’s the European-style version of Hawaii.

Todayβs plan: going to the beach and then visit Santa Cruz. Iβm not a βbeach boyβ but Iβll spend the time exploring the beach surroundings and do some photography while they relax under the sun.
