With the straight-to-the-point title Digital Color, Gibson in his new exhibition declares that, rather than vainly try to get digital to behave like analog film, we should embrace and become fluent in digital photography's — and especially digital color photography's — new and unique visual language.
This is something coming from Gibson, whose celebrated career in art and books has often employed elevated, mysterious and sensual black-and-white film in his taste-making bodies of work.
My friend Jeff Nolan has written about how he and his wife use technology to take care of their elderly neighbor. It’s worth a complete read and share with others.
'My wife and I care for our 90-year-old neighbor who has no family and simply wants to live in the same home he enjoyed with his wife of 58 years, now deceased. We understand that desire and now work with him on a daily basis to ensure that he has a healthy home environment, is safe, and has a regular schedule of prepared meals that meet his dietary requirements while also giving him variety and enjoyment.
This is not to say that he is spry and young for his age. He is 90-years-old and has limited mobility, poor eyesight, and diminishing mental capacity that is primarily manifested as a limited ability to stay focused on a task. His awareness and memory are excellent, but a load of laundry can span an entire day of start and stop labor. We have increasingly relied on technology to manage the complexity of caring for someone in their own home'
He describes the use of Arlo security cameras, Nest thermostat, Phillips Hue lighting, Dyson Pure, Google Home, Apple HomePod, and Amazon Alexa, Ring doorbell, Euro Mesh Network, Roost Smoke Detector.
Knowing him he has tried out a bunch of other Smart Home devices. I am really proud of this use case.
I am particularly fascinated by the new Apple Pencil, so enjoyed this tear down of the new tablet and the accessory
The new iPad Pro 11” sports narrower bezels, curvy LCD corners, and cutting edge silicon. This is apparently the iPad Apple dreamed about building from the very beginning, but what we dream about is a device that is easy to repair. Will this iPad fulfill both dreams, or will ours be left in the pipe? There’s only one way to tell—with a teardown!
On Sept. 5, Pennsylvania became the first state in the U.S. to eliminate personal mail in its prison system. The policy means that its prisoners can no longer receive birthday cards, handwritten notes from Grandma, or drawings from their children. Instead, their families send mail to the offices of Smart Communications U.S. Inc. in St. Petersburg, Fla., where, says Chief Executive Officer Jon Logan, employees inspect each piece of correspondence before converting it into a searchable electronic document. The company sends the digital files to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, where prison officials can review the contents before delivering them as black-and-white printouts to their intended recipients. Each piece of correspondence becomes part of a searchable database, guaranteeing prison officials perpetual access, even years after the recipients have been released.
