Ok kids almost in bed. Will probably fall asleep listening to something new.

[Daniel Baker @daniebker]

Dreams of getting the kids in bed early to listen to new Russian Circles, Mastodon and Kulk albums dashed. Flight was delayed and we're still on the train home.

I've got a big helping of the festival blues after #ArcTanGent. What do i do with my self now???

[Daniel Baker @daniebker]

Few highlights for me in no particular order

Psychonaut
Pupil Slicer
Believe in Nothing
Ronker
Oathbreaker

And so many others that were just top draw stuff.

[Daniel Baker @daniebker]

Sad to be going home after #ArcTanGent but had such a good time. So many great bands to see and came away a fan of some new ones. Can't wait for next year!

To companies like Google you're nothing more than a source to tap data from. Data that's later used to target and manipulate you. Be careful where you're generating data. #DeGoogleYourLife

Fell off my skateboard yesterday and sliced up my hand and landed right on my ass. Getting older sucks cause the ache in my tailbone is only getting worse. Better not be broken.

We’ll have to pay the price at some point. So let’s start making the payments.

New Amazon Data Center Stokes Worry It Would Be the Most Polluting Power Plant in the U.S.

When we're going through the fifth heatwave of the year you have to ask is AI really going to be worth the cost in the long run? Its absurd.

Google doesn't provide an easy way to turn off AI overview in its search results. You can use '-ai' but my mother-in-law isn't going to do that. Instead switch your search provider to DuckDuckGo which at least allows you to turn AI off. #DeGoogleYourLife

So apparently I'm using over 9GB of storage in Google Drive but my Drive is empty and there's nothing in the trash. How does that work?

My Favourite way to get to #InboxZero in #Slack is to just smash 'Shift + ESC'. (It marks all unread messages as read). Seriously, Slack is way worse than email ever was in the workplace. There's just too much going on to be able to read everything!

I picked this shot because I like the dystopian feel, almost of an abandoned world. Love the effect of the light burning through the pole. Will try to use the same technique for some future wildlife shots.

[Daniel Baker @daniebker]

Went for a walk along a new route in my village to find some new birding spots and found some lovely views instead. Only had a super telephoto with me so grabbed this one of the sun setting behind a telegraph pole.

Shot at 1/5000 f/7,1 ISO 125. Handheld with a Tamron 150-600 on Nikon D7200. Used the LCD view to not have to focus through the viewfinder.
