→ The 10th Anniversary of the iPad - A Perspective from the Windows Team ●

I love the summary blurb for this one: “While the press and friends of Apple gathered for the launch event, the Windows team fresh off Windows 7 launch watched from afar. An annotated twitter thread.”

→ Lucas Foglia’s Human Nature Photo Set ●

There are at least a couple NSFW photos here, so be warned. But each of these photos are sure to make your head churn a little.

May 2020

→ Adrienne Pitts ●

There’s some stunning work on Adrienne’s website/portfolio. I’ve linked to the travel picks because they are my favourite, but it’s clear Adrienne’s skill set transcends all photographic genres.

→ Engagement Session in the Philippines by Ever After Stories ●

Today’s first photography post is a beautiful engagement session edited with Refined Presets. Be sure to check out the Ever After Stories page as well.

→ When Manhattan Was Mannahatta ●

Fascinating virtual look and visualization of what “Lenape” looked like before European settlers and the American people built Manhattan into what it is today. I like the thought experiment regarding how Manhattan would be different had Europeans colonized America from the West rather than the East.

Isn’t it crazy this is what Manhattan looked like only 400 or so years ago?

→ Above Avalon’s Membership Turns Five Years Old ●

Interesting pricing structure for Cybart’s membership. $20/month or $200/year isn’t cheap. At all. But clearly it’s working. Perhaps a race to the bottom of the membership pricing barrel is the unhealthy thing to do.

→ Baseball Alberta Officially Cancels 2019 Summer Baseball Season ●

There’s no way the rest of the provincial branches won’t cancel their seasons. We’ve been banking on this in our local leagues for awhile already, but were silently holding out hope. All hope looks lost now.

→ The Art of Photography’s Review of the Canon 50mm f/1.2 RF Lens ●

This is one of the few YouTube reviews that shows the lens attached to the camera and someone actually holding the camera with the lens. Also, I had never heard of “field curvature” before, but it makes a lot of sense.

→ Twitter Will Allow Employees to Work From Home Permanently ●

This idea seems inevitable. Two additional thoughts. First, I wonder what this will do to property values in rural areas? In urban areas? And second, will this stir changes to tax law regarding deductibility of home expenses for standard employment income? Currently, these types of expenses aren’t really deductible.

→ Magic Keyboard’s GrimeGate ●

Apple’s choice to continue on with this external keyboard material has to be for a reason other than aesthetics and durability. Why do they insist on this material? Mine not only has grease stains everywhere, it even has a chunk taken out of the right side. How that dent hit my Magic Keyboard is beyond me.
