The topic of this week’s Friday Foto Finder is “Modern”. The trouble with items that are modern today, though, is that tomorrow they’re already “so yesterday”.

I bought the pulse meter you can see above and used it for the first time this morning. Continue reading
I’m not up-to-date with stuff I’ve written elsewhere, so I thought it was time to amend that. Below is something I wrote last year. And I see I quoted from my favourite book. đ Continue reading
