Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.
― Henri Cartier-Bresson
In these days of digital, I reckon that number needs to be rethought.

A Watch Guy’s Thoughts On The Apple Watch After Seeing It In The Metal
18 September 2014 by Leave a Comment
Again, Apple paid great attention to detail with this new wrist-bound peripheral, and it shows the Swiss that it is possible to have great design at low costs. That is the most exciting thing about the Apple Watch for me – it will push the Swiss to take the sub-$1,000 mechanical watch category more seriously.
After the recent Apple keynote, I was certainly more than likely than not to get an Apple Watch. This very detailed and interesting piece just increased the probability.

Land of The Free (2): Left Behind – Are you ready?
10 September 2014 by Leave a Comment
The most important event in the history of mankind is happening right now. In the blink of an eye, the biblical Rapture strikes the world. Millions of people disappear without a trace. All that remains are their clothes and belongings, and in an instant, terror and chaos spread around the world. The vanishings cause unmanned vehicles to crash and burn. Planes fall from the sky. Emergency forces everywhere are devastated. Gridlock, riots and looting overrun the cities. There is no one to help or provide answers. In a moment, the entire planet is plunged into darkness.
