I'm working on a training video for work. I'm officially retiring my Canon M50... After 3 years of YouTubing, >£700 + accessories, and hours watching videos and adjusting settings, I still can't get a tune out of it. My Pixel 9a is much better with no effort at all...

In 2008 I had an offer from Oxford Brookes to study the Planning Masters. Told it was a job for life, we'll always need planners.
I decided to do a PhD instead and by 2010 my former council planning department had been decimated.

Refinding joy in exploring streamflow data 😍 just looking at the stories gages tell about rivers.
Here’s the Allagash River (ME), 1980–2020. Each line: a year of daily flow (Jan–Dec). Colors show each day compared to normal: green ≈ normal, blue = high, red = low. 🌊💧
