    Very telling chart of past disruptions in the photography world. I don't want to look too nostalgic but seeing how fast the smartphone is taking over the photography world is a bit sad. Disruptions

    There is something different about my beloved photo sharing service, Unsplash. I'm not sure if it's for the better. It's hard for me to put a finger on it but there is something different. Unsplash home

    After much hesitation, I finally subscribed to 1Password personal plan. I've been a long time user of this password manager. I don't mind having to subscribe to this service. Security is paramount these days.

    This decision is part of a personal project that I'm working on. A long blog post will follow in the coming weeks.

    I’ve been working from home since March, 13th. My employer is fully supporting remote work by monitoring the output of my work, not the input. Stop mass surveillance by reporting when you disagree with the policy. If no change, just quit.

    I remember arguing with a guy on supporting flash challenges like transposing « hovering » events with the mouse pointer. How on earth someone could « hover » with their fingers on the screen for content to change accordingly? That wasn’t possible obviously.

    Now, look at the iPad with the just introduced pointer support. It’s exactly that, hovering on buttons make the pointer morph into the button’s shape. Fascinating.

    Ghost.org has been under attack in the last few days, prompting them to force a password reset. It leaves a sour taste. I'm currently writing down my thoughts and findings. Expect a blog post in the coming days. Spoiler alert: it's not good.
