Tidal — a review after two months of use

I signed up for a 30-day trial account on Tidal a couple of months ago. I wanted to see if I got along with it better than I did with Spotify. I was unhappy with how music recommendations worked on Spotify. I’d put a playlist on before I got to…

Air purifier filters, before and after

I just changed the filters on the Philips AC3829/60 series air purifiers in the bedrooms. This is what the old filter looks like after 5000 hours of operation, which is almost a year considering that the air purifiers are not permanently on.

Goodbye wood smoker, hello electric grill

About four years ago, I purchased a meat smoker, lured by the prospect of preparing my own smoked meats and experimenting with new recipes. I had chosen a medium-sized, high-quality wood-fired model with a thick, sturdy casing built to last. Since then, pellet smokers have emerged, automating much of the…

Gear: how I ended up shooting with Olympus

It’s raining outside and cold, like in January, not that it’s a few days before the Orthodox Easter. So I’m cleaning my office and my folder with photo equipment invoices. I’m recycling all the invoices from the gear recently sold, as they were no longer needed. On this occasion, it…
