Tootin' about photography (largely of the bird variety these days, using a Fujifilm camera), generative art (plus pen plotting), computing (increasingly rarely since there's plenty of that at work), & things.

Bit late for #ThrowbackThursday, but anyway, here's a pigeon I saw sometime in 2022. (Not sure whether something was wrong with its pupil or if it just had a wood-pigeon-esque black spot on its iris, but either way, it looked a bit crazy!)

In case if you wondered if birds yawn, here's a #portrait of a yawning wood pigeon (Columba palumbus, ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Ringeltaube, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ grzywacz) for you.

Got myself some wheels.

(Until I borrowed one a few weeks back, I hadn't really ridden a bicycle since I've been like 15. Now I've bought this one! It's kinda nice! Just gotta figure out how to use it to transport a telephoto lens across gravel tracks without breaking 1. the glass or 2. my back.)

We use 32 million ha of land globally (ca. 1 Germany) to grow plants for biofuels. This equals 1.400 TWh per year, or 4% of our global energy consumption for transport.

If we'd use the same area for PV, we could produce 32.000 TWh per year, already considering the potential yield for the areas where we grow bio fuel plants.

For comparison: the entire world consumed 31.000 TWh of electricity in 2024.

I love such comparisons.

It's #ThrowbackThursday, also known as "Noah longs for Korea vacations Thursday". This time, some phone shots from my first two trips in 2016 and 2019. (Details in alt text.)

Apparently itโ€™s almost trivial to swap parts between different MacBook Neo.

Anyone remember the Polo Harlekin? https://poloharlekin.com/history-of-the-harlekin/?amp=1

Best stop this train of thought before arrival in silly idea town.

PSA: Don't hesitate to (preemptively, even!) download things you like. I just had a YouTube channel whose back catalog I'd been slowly watching my way through disappear. How am I going to live vicariously through some guy exploring abandoned buildings in the Korean countryside now?
I hate mowing the lawn so I scattered a bunch of seeds that strangle the grass. They unexpectedly flowered and now I get lots of butterflies and my neighbours don't.

For #ThrowbackThursday, here's a very pretty pigeon I saw on Gangmun Beach in Gangneung three and a bit years ago.

(It's about time for another trip to Korea โ€“ tentatively planned for November, but who knows, what with all the wars and some other, more personal-scale goings-on.)
