the little lies robots tell us

ruminations on human-computer interfaces

“Battery Fully Charged!”, my bluetooth headphones chirped brightly directly into my eardrums when I accidentally bumped the power button when I was taking them off, returning from a little shopping trip. Wow, I thought, what amazing headphones. They can confidently state absolute bullshit!

new site section

a couple things i thought were missing

Just a quick post to mention I added a new section to the site, called freelance & commissions.

On the other hand, there’s stuff like Kodak Gold Ultra, which has incredibly rich colour reproduction with lovely saturated reds and greens. Why have I singled out these two stocks? Well, naturally, it’s because I’ve shot some cool photos on them. Here’s some nice photos from the last couple of months:
