facebook, censorship, art history 

"Curator and art historian Ruben Cordova thought that Facebook was the perfect platform to archive the photographic materials equivalent to almost a decade’s worth of his research. [...] [On] November 16..., [Facebook] permanently disabled his account due to an alleged violation of community standards banning sexually explicit content. And with that, Cordova lost access to 9 years’ worth of aggregated resources and materials."

60F weather in December doesn't happen very often. And so out come the bikes.

Last evening in Vegas. It's grown on me, I will admit.

I went out at first light hoping for some pink sky, but it rained. Still got some half decent pics.

All edited in Darktable. A superb FOSS editor once you get the hang of it.

A few photos from my time in Las Vegas so far. A Canon EOS 6D with A 50mm 1.8 and a 24-135mm (the basic one).

Once the people went into the giant Alexa, reunion commenced and they happily became one with the cloud. A slight burning smell was the only hint of the ceremony.

First full day in Las Vegas for AWS:Reinvent. It feels a bit overwhelming, honestly.

Not sure why Andstatus CW'd that picture.

Denver, CO from 30,000ft, on the way to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is like some Donald Trump fever dream

American Airlines overbooked both my flights today. That's some good machine learning for you.

I've taken the DSLR with me to Vegas, and will probably stick with the 50mm 1.8. I also have my trusty 28-135 if I want something longer but honestly the 50mm gets much nicer colour and contrast. .
