📷 Every 100th Of A Second #26

If you want to know more about what this series is about, then check out the series page. 1 

I’ve obviously been in an architectural mood this week as my eye has been leaning towards all your lovely shots of buildings and urban spaces. Let’s dig in shall we? 👀

Review : Extraction 2

A promotional image features two people in the foreground amidst falling white particles. The person in the center wears dark clothing and is looking toward the left. Partially behind them, another person in a light-c light-colored jacket holds a small handgun pointing towards the right. In the background, a crowd of blurry figures is visible under dim lighting. Text at the bottom left reads “Extraction 2”, “2026″, and “Netflix”, accompanied by four filled stars and one empty star.

An enjoyable dumb action film. Very much the right kind of dumb.

Out of hours work completed (Which I’ve been anxious about going well all day. It did!)

Tall church spire with birds perched near its base, seen against a clear sky beside a red-brick building.
Full moon glowing in a dusky pink and grey sky above a dark treeline, with birds in flight nearby.

walked as the sun was setting afterwards and treated myself to a Waitrose Chicken biryani (accept no substitute) and am getting cozy with an episode of the X-Files 👽 😊

Bowl of curried rice with a fork, alongside a bottle of Bundaberg ginger beer and a bag of mini poppadoms, TV streaming menu blurred in background.

Green street utility cabinet tagged with graffiti reading “Social media is a cancer” and the signature “OXOZ”, quiet pavement behind.
I mean… They’re not wrong… 🤷

It’s all about the technology this week as we have some new products and some (hopefully) long awaited internet upgrades!

Couple more iPhone 18 Pro shots as I wandered to and from the gym today. Native cam with film emulation on. 

I wanted to get the starbeams on the lights but they just weren’t bright enough to trigger it 😔

Black and white photo of a seagull pecking at gravel near a stone wall, a second gull visible behind rubble.
Courtyard cafe seating with green chairs, pastel striped umbrellas, and string lights beside a red-brick building, “Brewery Square” sign visible.

Every 100th Of A Second #25

A day delayed due to me moving to my new personal photography device myself. 

If you want to know more about what this series is about, then check out the series page. TL’DR I highlight images on the Fediverse that inspire my own photography in some way.

  • All the below entries this week represent two things I want to get better at. Finding those cool compositions amongst the normal

  • playing with extreme light and shadow more in my shots. Lets get darker…

Here are the images I stumbled across on the Fediverse this week 👇

Couple of quick shots from a walk to the shop to buy bread this morning. Not too exciting but I wanted to play with some of the new filters and film emulation. I quite like the grain. The film emulation and halation is really well done. Subtle but impactful. Excited to play more as I get out and about.

Review : The Ghost In The Shell (2026)

Image

Man. I really wanted to love this… I’m sad that I don’t.

The Ghost In The Shell has existed since the book first came out in 1989.  It’s been adapted several times into movies and TV shows with different approaches each time. Some like the 1995 film and Anime series Stand Alone Complex are genuinely excellent. Others, not so good, or at least controversial.

Superfast Internet? Finally?

🚨Caution. This is absolutely a post for old network nerds such as myself 🚨

I’ve waited years to get off potato internet speeds at my house. Whilst I’ve watched the UK at large and indeed most of my own town as well as villages get on the new fan dangled “internet superhighway” my own home has been languishing on old tech with slow speeds 1 for some time.

My street sadly appeared to always be left out of any rollout plans. Every few months I’d check the BT Wholesale broadband checker and leave disappointed. However. A year ago I found something interesting. Some of the houses on my street now showed availability. But still not mine. I contacted OpenReach to ask about this, and they advised me this was an error and indeed I could place an order. So I did just that! 🥳

Stuff This Week #102

This image features a butterfly, likely a Red Admiral, with striking black wings, orange bands, and white spots, resting on a blue and white striped cloth that is hanging from a clothesline with a blue plastic peg and a wooden peg. The butterfly is positioned near the center of the cloth, with its wings spread open. The background is softly blurred, showing green foliage and a stone wall, suggesting an outdoor setting.

A week of big and small changes this week! Lets process it all!

Son all packed up to go off to university today 🥲

My wife and other son are helping him move in. I’m holding the fort at home because I can’t fit in the car with all the stuff 😂 

They’re also fitting in a cheeky Costco visit afterwards as well. 

For me it’s the gym, bit of housework and maybe some tinkering with some tech!

Know when to fold ’em : Apple Thoughts

Well, the iPhone events have come and gone. I didn’t watch the event live this year, and I feel much better for it. Tech just isn’t doing it the same way as it was a couple of years ago. AI bubble, rising costs, as well as rising fascism in the tech space, it’s not as cosy and adventurous a hobby space as it was when I was sitting down on my G3 Pismo MacBook exploring a brand new MacOS X 1.0 that’s for sure. 

I have however, caught up on the facts, let the dust settle, put the RC’s on all my current devices 1 and am ready to compose some thoughts and make some decisions.

Every 100th Of A Second #24 Reborn!

I’ll update the main Every 100th Of A Second landing page later once I’ve confirmed this pilot/reinvented episode does exactly what I want to. You can also read more there on what this series is about, but essentially it’s me highlighting photos I come across on the Fediverse that I like and inspire me. 

Previously, I haven’t been able to embed photos onto the blog due to limitations within my blog hoster Pika, but recently that feature has been added, so lets go test this out! 👇

My life energy donated once again 🩸🧛

A red table with a white plastic cup, a McVitie’s Club Orange biscuit bar, and an NHS Blood and Transplant leaflet titled “Important safety information after you have given blood, platelets or plasma.”
A man with a white beard and glasses, wearing a green t-shirt, with a white bandage on his inner elbow, likely after donating blood.

Couple of quick shots on the way into work this morning. 🌅 

A silhouette of tree leaves and a structure against a bright, setting or rising sun, creating a strong contrast between the dark foreground and the glowing light.
A dark, triangular silhouette of a building roof against a warm, orange and yellow sunset sky, with a tall chimney visible on the right side.

Review : Hijack Season 2

Image

Stupid people do stupid things for stupid reasons and it all just fizzles out by the end. 

An action show with no action.

A mystery box with no mystery.

A revenge plot with no revenge.

A thriller with no thrills.

I was hate watching it by the end… 👎

Review : Pluribus

Image

Let’s get this out of the way up front. I’ve never seen a single episode of Breaking Bad (I know… I know… I’ll get to it… One day) . I’m a big fan of Gilligan’s work on the x-files however as I re-watch that series. 

I really enjoyed this show. Once I started I binged it within a few days. If you don’t know the premise, I’d advise going into this one relatively cold and just going with the flow. It’s a Sci-Fi show but only for the conceit of its plot, which presents a soft apocalypse (Maybe…?) where only 12 people on earth are spared.

Stuff This Week #100 🥳

Wow, Can you believe I’ve written 100 of these silly things since starting to write online. If you read these little insights into my brain and day to day life then you have my thanks 😊

I probably should have put more effort into making something special. A retrospective perhaps? Maybe when we get to #200!

It was a long weekend this week with Monday as an extra day off so of course the weather forecast was for heavy rain and possible thunderstorms. (We were going to go berry picking😢) As I sit here Sunday afternoon writing this, we actually have proper sunshine again. Tomorrow is supposed to be better but unfortunately my wife is working the bank holiday.
