If the single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it and the “camera is a license to explore” then let’s hit the motor drive because we’ve got a lot of scenery to cover!

As we put this update together there is a haze outside our New York Windows from the raging fires burning 2400 miles (about 4000 kilometers) to the west.

Yet we start in a lighthearted mood, with a g…

This week it’s all about food. Well, some of it is, anyway.

We start with too many cooks in the kitchen and end with positive prospects for cheeseburgers on Mars.

Moving through the meal have all our…

This episode has us quaking in our wellies. We’ve got the US president advising Russia that they need to fix their ransomware use, while he advises that you should be able to fix your own phone … and…

This week we start in El Salvador and end in mid-air.

In between those fence posts, we find: Breaches for …

This week we start with the Danish spying on the Germans. The Germans hacking .PDFs. The Cook keeping things private. The Tag"ee" smashing things with hammers.

We start with trac…

On the first anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, we’d like to take a moment to pause and reflect. Changing social bias is an evolution, just as realizing and changing our own. But with continu…
