    Flying a Toy Plane 22 Miles

    Reading Time: 2 minutes James May is interesting. People like me know him from Top Gear and Grand Tour with Clarkson and Hammond but his side projects are interesting. Instead of farming like Clarkson, or driving cars with his daughter Clarkson plays with grown up toys. When I say toys I don’t mean adult cars,…

    AI, Film, and Social Media

    Reading Time: 4 minutes I like to experiment with Bard and chatGPT. I like to see what their limits are, but with time and effort I like to get beyond their limits and get them to do what I want, without failing too often. DJI and other brands have had self-editing options for years now,…

  • Netflix – Browse By Language

    Netflix – Browse By Language

    Reading Time: 2 minutes Recently Netflix added a Browse by Language option which means that you can browse for content by original language. Yesterday I saw that I can browse for content in French, Italian, Polish,, Korean, German and many more languages. I could list more but that’s dull. Instead I want to focus on…

    Reading Time: < 1 minute I like that I can watch days of television series and that I can’t spend 90 minutes watching films. Television series are about people, places and situations and the characters are realistic. In contrast films are superficial, shallow and too full of special effects for a story to be told.…

Growth was driven by another strong quarter for digital terrestrial television (DTT), with total sales of DTT…

  • An impressive personality

    Reading Time: < 1 minute How many people have the ability to walk out in front of a crowd of hundreds and a televisual audience of several thousand? I don’t think that many, especially not with the confidence of this young girl. If I understood her correctly her name is Johanna and she is from…

  • Television Series

    Reading Time: 2 minutes I love watching television series on DVD and straight from the hard disk. You never understand the complexity of the storyline until you spend 12 hours or more watching entire seasons of series like Scrubs or House. If you look at the series scrubs you’ll get to know the characters very…
