Experimenting with some scattering or diffusion techniques, for today's #AmperSand efforts. Quite liked the little black one, actually.

@JennyList my hands fit sony dslrs too well to swap. even their slt ones didn't "fit" for me.
plus I don't shoot video yet :)

@JennyList I got my first dslr new, looong ago, wore it out, and have been wearing out used ones since then

@JennyList ditto, but where dodgy old cameras = just-post-shitty-camera level DSLR here

@mikegalsworthy preference doesn't even begin to cover it. I simply won't have anything from a). It's foul.

So if it's a trade choice between:

a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and

b) European food, beer & wine...

...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

A few weeks ago, I sent my 1985 Swiss Army Knife back to Victorinox for a broken blade replacement.

It came back today, fully repaired, cleaned, polished, lubricated and in a new box.

Total cost: £10 + return postage.

They sent the knife back with an invoice. I didn't have to pay a penny before the job was done.

A product that's been out of production for almost 40 years, repaired at very little cost by the original manufacturer.

I'm stunned. Happy, impressed, grateful and stunned.

My dog is infinitely optimistic that TODAY will be the day that I just inexplicably hand over my entire hamburger.

just thinking of the tech etymology "thing that we do" plus the following rules depending when it was launched:

early 00s: prefix i- or e- (ebay, iphone)
late 00s: suffix -r (flickr, warblr)
10s: suffix -ly or -ify (bit.ly spotify)
20s web games: suffix -le (wordle, countle)

this gets fun, because you can take an existing tech product and move it to a different era by changing its name construction

Imagine there’s a button that when pressed would immediately change your body from what you have now, to that of a goose. You can only press the button once. When pressed everyone will have known you in this new form the whole time, so there’s no social impact at all.

Would you press that button?

If so you may be transgander 🪿
