Social media has became attention media. The feeds are built to take your attention, and their builders have said so.

New piece on why I left those platforms, and what took their place.

I have rebuilt my website from the ground up, around framing and attention to detail.

That way of seeing has been leaking from photography into the rest of my life, which I did not expect, but I do not mind.

If public (government) organizations fail to deliver, private solutions will inevitably fill the gap (and they will likely do a better job). This is amazing news! 👏👏

Ambulance in 10 minutes.

We are taking our first step towards solving the problem of providing quick and reliable ambulance service in our cities. The first five ambulances will be on the road in Gurugram starting today. As we expand the service to more areas, you will start seeing an option to book a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance through the @letsblinkit app.

Some more info-

• Our ambulances are equipped with essential life-saving equipment, including oxygen cylinders, AED (Automated External Defibrillator), stretcher, monitor, suction machine, and essential emergency medicines and injections.

• Each ambulance has a paramedic, an assistant and a trained driver to make sure we are able to deliver the highest quality of service in time of need.

• Profit is not a goal here. We will operate this service at an affordable cost for customers and invest in really solving this critical problem for the long term.

• We are carefully scaling this service up, as it is both important and new to us. Our aim is to expand to all major cities over the next two years.

Let's do our bit and make way for an ambulance always. You never know when you may save a life.

In a world of instant images, photography taught me something unexpected—not about cameras, but about seeing.

Excited to share my thoughts on how to see life differently through photography and choosing where to point your lens.

By making vegetarian meals the default, airlines could improve passenger satisfaction, optimize operations, and show real commitment to sustainability. It's time for the industry to revolutionize in-flight dining, moving beyond token gestures to changes with significant positive impact. #AviationInnovation #PlantBasedTravel

@Delta's recent flight diversion due to spoiled meals prompted a switch to safer vegetarian options on thousands of their flights. This incident highlights an important question: why aren't vegetarian meals the default on flights? Here's why airlines should seriously consider changing food in the air: 🧵

5. Health considerations: Long flights are taxing enough without heavy, hard-to-digest meals. Lighter, vegetarian options could help passengers feel better during and after flights. It's disappointing that passenger well-being hasn't been a higher priority. #TravelHealth @ACI_World

6/6 These examples demonstrate how Apple's patient, methodical approach often leads to more polished and successful products compared to competitors rushing to market.

[Kartik Chaturvedi @ikartikcom]

Apple's "take its time" approach has proven successful once again. By carefully developing products and entering markets strategically, Apple often produces superior offerings compared to competitors who rush to be first.

Hey Josh, I hadn’t gotten any trouble with the latest version on M1 Macs yet. There’s a chance that app permissions are blocking Sentrycam from exporting. One thing to definitely try is changing the export destination (even setting it to the downloads folder should trigger a dialog for you to approve). If that doesn’t work, let me know and I will look into it!
