YouTube’s algorithm gives me a nostalgia injection with this. The song is almost 41 years old (jeez!), but the message is as fresh as ever:

And do you feel scared? I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better

Apple reports ‘a record-breaking quarter’.

I guess people don’t care about how shitty the user interface of all Apple platforms has become, or about the mediocre quality of most Apple software. Or that Apple is just another un-special big tech company.

→The real AI problem no one is talking about
This is actually something I’ve been pondering myself ever since this ‘AI’ craze began to propagate.

I’ve watched a few camera-related videos on YouTube today, and now my homepage is full of stuff related to the Nikon D700. “The Nikon D700 is so good!”, “The LEGENDARY D700”, “The D700. Nikon’s best DSLR?” and so on and so forth.

Briefly, on Morrick.​me — [EMS-002] The digicams return: morrick.me/archives/10236
The digicams return
After an uninspired year, I'm experiencing a renewed yearning for getting back to photography as a whole, and for dusting off my digicams again.

eBay seller: “The camera is untested, the battery door is missing (though the battery remains in place inside the compartment), the camera comes without battery, memory card, charger or other accessories.”

€45.99 + 24.99 shipping.

Me: “You should pay ME to buy this crap.”

I love reading pieces extolling the virtues of ‘AI’ written by people who directly profit from it. So bias-free and disinterested!

Tons of useless emoji, and we don’t have an emoji for airquotes!?

Saw an ad on YouTube for a product “with military-grade AI”.

Military-grade AI.

I laughed so hard I instantly forgot what product it even is.

David Bowie was a visionary in many respects. So much so that he clearly identified the “American first” mentality as a real problem.

New, on Morrick.​me — My 2025 in review: morrick.me/archives/10219
My 2025 in review
Mostly unfocused and chaotic, mostly thanks to my disconnection and fracture in tech I already talked about at length.

Writing a “2025 in review” kind of post for my blog, where it all started with a clear idea of what I was to talk about, and now, after 1,300 words, I’m realising I’ve been writing quite the chaotic summary. But hey, 2025 *was* chaotic for me, and the post shall reflect that, I guess!

This project is going to become one hell of an indie game. The art style is *chef’s kiss* and the developer is putting so much attention and passion into it. I really hope it’ll be a hit!

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica — “33”.

What can I say about this series that hasn’t been already said?

But really, the first words coming out of my head are, “Where the hell are series like this today?”

Allow me to connect some dots for you:

Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.

Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

Nothing like cooking a good meal for the family, than spending a couple of hours looking at slides from my childhood, 'introducing' my parents and other relatives appearing through the documented fog of these memories, unearthed from the late 1970s.

Happy 2026!

Just 12 years before this happens, by the way:
