The RS800 is to "sailing" like F1 is to your daily commute.
Probably the best sailing in the world: RS800 Euros

I've switched to a pair with a smaller FOV but that is much lighter and that's my go-to way of using a laptop or phone in the car or in bed. I can use them for hours now. It is a little awkward with reading glasses but very doable and saves the neck completely.

A brand new website to celebrate 10 YEARS (!) of beautiful markdown documents with Markdeep:

casual-effects.com/markdeep/

Same efficiency, 100% data privacy, and client-side processing.

New agentic AI support, fancy CSS styles, and compatibility for a seamless document experience.

Note that Markdeep doesn't *use* AI at runtime or capture user data.

The new AI support is features for the kind of markdown that Claude, GPT, and Gemini LLMs and agents produce and supports Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code IDEs.

Markdeep + LLMs is a great match that just got even better.

This launches a month of new features to ring in the new year and the next decade of Markdeep. Today's 1.18 release is only the beginning.

Someone from a nearby boat just shared these photos of us racing in the RS800 skiff this summer!

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo.

In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨

With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

This and lightweight XR glasses have been an OK partial solution for me. Neither is perfect--if you don't wear corrective lenses (or at least if you have contacts) they might be much better. I'm still looking for a good solution. Projector was my first attempt and it had different drawbacks.

A key catch is that these slightly minify objects (or maybe you hold them further away). They're good for large crafts and OK for reading and laptop but I needed a larger font. Weight on the nose after about 30 min is an issue if upright. I wasn't brave enough to try it for cooking or other cutting.

Because of my spinal injury, I was thinking that I wish I could have upside down belaying glasses so that I can hold a book or phone comfortably again and...this product exists, and is really inexpensive! They're called "lazy glasses" or "crochet glasses".

Now to find out how well it works for me.

My lab will be recruiting at all levels. PhD students, postdocs, and a research engineering position (worldwide for PhD/postdoc, EU candidates only for the engineering position). If you're at SIGGRAPH, I'd love to talk to you if you are interested in any of these.

I put a massive number of changes in today's release of the new version of the #quadplay retro fantasy video game console. Available now at:

morgan3d.github.io/quadplay/

The main focus of these changes was mobile: new aspect ratios, new battery saving optimizations, new exported game UI options.

20kts of wind makes for a lot of miles put away!

I just marvel at the free energy of wind and current--I'm moving my *home* around with minimal effort, cost, and environmental impact, while sitting here making a sandwich and coffee enjoying the ride.
