Running into weight loss
I'm not really a running person. I've tried. I've watched Conan the Barbarian, watched Arnold run forever with ease, and thought "this would be cool", but in practice I've really got the wrong body type. My legs are too big for good running, and I prefer it that way. I could just be making excuses as humans are so very good at, but looking at good runners the facts fit. Anyway, as I said I have tried, but I hit a wall pretty soon. But I still have found that running is an (...)
Photography Subject Specialisation
A common question I get when someone sees me with a camera is "What do you take photos of".. and I generally struggle to answer. Does one need a specialisation? Do other photographers have one? Do you need to be good at it?
Some stuff I like to take photos of, such as aircraft and stars, but often the opportunity, and to a lesser extent the equipment, make it hard. I take photos of sports events, but since I'm not into most sports and I generally don't even know the rules it'd be (...)

I've been into multi screen for 20+ years. Obviously it started with computers but it extended to laptops (probably a rant in itself) and phones as well. First time I got one was a on-sale LG V50. A very clunky device that was almost exactly what I wanted. I could at last solve the old problem of referring to X while working on Y, as well as monitoring Y while doing X. Sadly after a few years of use the case hinge cracked in a very odd way and I lost the second screen. Case? Yeah. The V50 is (...)
