Tech scratch

Getting the hang of tech isn’t always the easiest thing, many heads have been scratched while trying to get the hang of those infernal machines…



Top image December 2020

Not many images were shot and posted during December 2020 due to the lousy weather (it was grey, grey, grey and grey with a couple of shades of grey thrown in the mix as well) and also due to the constant pain in my back and joints which gets worse with cold and damp weather. To finish my little tour of the images of the year I instead give you my personal favorite image of the year 2020.

2020 was the year when I ventured into the field of street photography, this was more fun to do than I had anticipated and will do alot more of in the future to come.

In July Scandinavian Photo held a competition with four legs and the last leg had the theme Water. This was one of my contributions for that leg. I didn’t win anything in any of the legs although an image from the first leg was chosen to be shared by them as an inspirational piece. However it was a lot of fun participating posting pictures with a specific theme.

Top image February 2020

The quest of summarizing the top images, that is the ones with the most likes, reactions and comments in all social medias combined, by month continues. Here’s the image of February 2020.



Top image January 2020

Every year in December/January I give you the top images for each month of the year instead of a tedious chronicle which noone will read anyway, this year is no different and I begin today. Here’s the image of January 2020 with the most likes, reactions and comments combined in all social medias I use.

First of the year

The very first image of the new year, shot at the stroke of Midnight on New Years Eve…



Shades of grey

It’s been a little quiet here lately, the weather has been wreaking havoc on my back and joints making it virtually impossible to work with images on the computer. Not too many new shots either, with this weather we’ve been having there haven’t been many photo opportunities around. Instead I have been as busy as it has been possible working with the crypto side of things.

The end of the year is fast approaching, hopefully there will at least be clear skies during the last night of December so I can get som decent shots of the fireworks. Otherwise December has been mainly grey, grey, grey and grey with a couple of shades of grey thrown in the mix as well. Coming next week I’ll be doing my own version of an annual chronicle and give you a dozen posts with the most liked and reacted to images month by month. I will also do a long overdue overhaul of the company website, loads of new stuff will be arriving there in 2021.



Tech Messiah

People are becoming scared of the tech companies. Really scared. And they should be. AI is gonna create 60 percent unemployment. They use you and they need you, but they don’t like you anymore. Instagram makes people feel like shit about their lives. Twitter makes them feel reviled. Facebook destroyed democracy.

The problem with the people who run tech companies is that they have too much power and become fanatics, they think they’re Messiahs. The problem with these Messiahs though is that they’re false profets.

Their followers are equally bad. They’re young, arrogant and ignorant while claiming those who actually have life experience are of “the era that doesn’t know”. In fact it is they who are of that era, their era doesn’t know shit. All so f-ing political, all so woke. But they don’t know anything about history, they don’t know anything about art, they don’t know shit about music, they don’t know shit about biology, they don’t know shit about psychology, they don’t know shit about morality. Actually they don’t know shit about politics either and are not woke. They’re not even asleep, they’re comatose.

You can either be a woke sheep or think for yourself, the choice is yours…

Two of the most intelligent people to ever walk this Earth both warned us. Stephen Hawking warned us of trusting AI, it will be the downfall of us, and Isaac Asimov warned us of over confidence in technology, tech is dumbing us all down.
