A.I. apocalypse... unless you speek greek :D

It seems AIs still get confused when listening to greek.
It would have been awesome to give the reply "its all greek to me" :D
(Yeah i know Greek is not in Siri's specs.)

Just being picky...

I'm being picky now, i know. But font and typeface is not the same thing. Lots of people get it wrong, many applications use the word "font" when referring to the typeface, but the two are not the same.

A typeface a family of fonts that share similar traits. The Times New Roman typeface for example houses a variety of fonts, in italics, bold...

Here are some typefaces


















And here's a font that is in one of them.

Yeah i know i'm being picky. But if you want the general family, you are a looking for a typeface. But you'll use a font when you click on "normal", "italics" or "bold" and set your size.

Obligatory full-moon report.

So last night's full-moon was supposedly the brightest. Well it did look like a spotlight around 2-3 am with it being directly visible from where my head was.

I managed not to transform into anything.

Landscape VS portrait. (a.k.a.Rant about phones and their sensors)

Lots of people are holding the phone in portrait orientation (standing upright) when taking a video or a photo, and lots more are telling them to hold it "the right way" so that the photo or video will come out in landscape.
But what is the right way for holding it? I mean, it is a phone. It was made to be comfortably held in portrait in the first place. Whenever i turn mine in landscape my pinky will either hang infront of the sensor, or the moment i press the button to take the picture i'll shake the phone a bit.
But if i hold in as its shape dictates and commit a sin against photography, it's more comfortable.

So I either end up taking the picture in portrait thinking ahead of time to leave enough space to crop it later into landscape mode, or just take it into a square.

My question though is to the manufacturers. Why not mount the damn sensor 90 degrees tilted so that the phone will take landscape photos and videos while i'm holding it like its shape dictates?
Actual cameras are easy to hold in landscape or portrait because they take that into account in their shape. (Most of the time...)

Saturday and people in their moments.

I waited for a bit, but he didn't start playing
while I was there :(

Slow motion rain.

Was messing around with the slow motion video function on the phone today.
