A light morning read in an effort to put a 404 on the extreme scrolling of social media.
A small step onto getting some sanity back and reconnecting with the reality.
Highly recommended! 🙂↕️

Photography isn’t always about what’s inside the frame.
Sometimes the most compelling composition is the one the morning sun creates around it.
The gallery changes every hour.

Sydney is quite delightful today.
A bit of leisurely stroll for haiku and Orwell essays fits the overall scene.

The sunrise at the natural pool in #Kiama is a thing of beauty
I have been craving for a #photography walk across the city and a weekend trip to Kiama presented a perfect opportunity.
A small coastal town with lot of personality and lazy vibes.
Eager to be back and enjoy some good vibes

Rise & Shine in the coastal town of Kiama, south of Sydney, NSW.
A well known stereotype about small towns is that - Everyone knows everybody here.
While it might be true for the locals here, it is quite heartening to walk towards the sunrise to a chaos of Good Mornings aimed towards me.

I am wondering if any of these platforms deal with any kind of ethics and moral policies or it is all left to the audience with no sense of accountability ?
#substack continues to walk tightest of the ropes, I guess.

The world’s a bit worse to wear without a decent branding.
This new world demands a brutalist, minimalist architecture where personality is a hidden and individualistic trait.
In the world that I grew up, aesthetic meant patterns and colors that would make anyone nauseous with over stimulation.

Agentic AI and automation are not rivals.
But they're not the same thing either.
The difference is subtle. The consequences of getting it wrong in your data workflows are not.

My first visit to the city of #Melbourne
Unassuming the pull of a major city,
I was wrapped in the laid back and creative energy of the city from my first stroll along the Yarra river towards the flinders street.
A new entry in the #TravelDiaries
Melbourne feels very homely.

I ventured into the old internet, and there seems to be a reason to think it might make a comeback, but how?

#Omarchy update on @frame.work almost done, if not for the 150mb #arch #linux update that is taking forever.
It is absolutely wonderful to witness the sheer scale at which this little opinionated distro has been adopted by the #devcommunity
Who knew that all devs wanted was dot files to mess!

The famous city in Catalunya

Barcelona is a treat for a photographer and traveller.
Walk the streets for some amazing coffee, click photos that instantly look lovely and write about the inspiration ideas that pop up.
Beware! Don't get swept away with the charm.
