Achill Island off season video – One Shot Adventures

2010s, Achill, Ireland, Travel, Video

Loved this video and saw it come up again on my YouTube feed. Posted it before on Twitter but wanted to put it here on my blog. Really nice shots of some parts of Achill even if other parts of the island were missed.

Venice, Italy in the summer. Loved this photo from last year when I was walking towards the Rialto Bridge.

Tech in a Madrid Café in 2003

Madrid Café 2003

Madrid Café 2003

This is what I used for on-the-go tech in 2003 sitting in a café in Madrid. A Psion 5mx and a brick Nokia mobile phone  The Psion had a great form factor that had a keyboard that was just big enough for touch-typing and small enough to fit into a jacket pocket. It also had the wonderful benefit of being distraction-free. 

Not forgetting the camera, a Canon Powershot S30. A remarkably pocketable device for the time.
