I learn photography with traditional cameras using real films, way before numeric photography. I used to develop my own pictures, in my own darkroom. Black

There is quite a lot of buzz these days about the possibility of creating our own watch face on the Apple Watch. Currently, this feature is not available to Apple Watch owners but a few clever guys on the internet did experiment with tools to create ones. And the possibilities are endless. And quite exciting too.
There is something sterile and compromising about choosing your watch face out of a fixed set of options. While the watchOS faces provide for a high degree of customization, there is something fundamentally different in being able to customize every single detail of the face. I started with a blank slate and was able to make the face look exactly how I wanted it. When displaying one of my creations it is now truly my most personal device ever.

Tonight I was watching TV. There was so many ads. One particular ad got my attention. This was an ad about a car. In order to show how cool the car is, how useful it can be to its users, there a scene where the driver uses Siri to send a message to his wife saying he is way home. A flawless experience. We can see Siri animated waves and the audio feedback, something known to a lot of people. But there is something wrong with all this.
Siri seems the underdog of all virtual assistants. People can’t stop complaining about it and how far behind it is. Yet, advertisers chose Siri over Google Assistant for this ad. If Google is so much better, why advertisers can’t choose Google to convey flawless virtual assistant experience? Is Apple

For some reason, I’m back at blogging… this time on wordpress.com. Used to be on Tumblr. Prefer Wordpress by a wide margin.

People don’t want other people to look into their private conversations. But they are ok with algorithms scanning all of them. Always. I’d like to educate people about this.

Let’s hope Micro.blog is not another App.net.

Micro.blog is probably the only social media where people welcome you when you start blogging… 😊
-
I prefer WordPress over Medium. For sure.
-
I used to be active on @Medium. medium.com/@jfmartin… Stopped publishing there because of what Medium became… trying to monetize us instead of rewarding us. Hope this won’t happen here on Micro.blog.

The Return of Micro Blogging ?
This morning I found out the existence of a blogging platform called Micro.blog. Something very special. Very lean. Very light. Without ads. Leaner than WordPress. Yet capable. Close to Twitter but with less clutter. I'm on a 10 days trial period. Tested the web posting interface. Tested the native macOS (light) client. Tested the iPad version too. Now, testing cross-posting from WordPress via an IFTTT applet. I'm loving it so far. Stay tuned for more discoveries about Micro.blog.

Going To The (abandoned) Church.
These were taken while doing urban exploration with friends downtown Montreal, Canada. Many churches are agonizing here… some pictures are from an iPhone 7, others from my Nikon D750 processed with HDR technique.

This is an unedited photo taken with a plain old iPhone 7. Can’t wait to upgrade next year… another test on Micro.blog but this time from the iPad client. Simple yet great experience.

Testing the native Micro.blog macOS client. Very simple. Very clean. Can add a picture. Here is one from me. I don’ really like to show picture of me but hey, this is for testing purposes.

I don’t know how I din’t know about Micro.blog for so long… where was it? Why so few people are talking about it ? Could this be the platform that Twitter or Tumblr should have become over the years ? Could this become my new numeric home ? I have ten days to find out.
