L’artiste returns with its latest and purest implementation of anti-anti-anti-art. An NFT which encompasses the idea of nothingness in a more profound way than ever “seen” before.

lecarrénoir
lecarrénoir – an exclusive NFT representing the logical reductive endpoint of art as a concept. The first piece of commercially-released anti-anti-anti-art, and a unique opportunity to own and treasure the beginnings of a brand new artistic movement. Is it just a black square, or something profoundly more?

Last night’s edition of the BBC’s Question Time was interesting. One of the questions brought up the topic of Midget Gems. These sweets (candy), basically firmer Wine Gums, were popular in the 1950s and are apparently still sold by Maynards and various supermarkets. The question was whether they should be renamed, as the word “midget” is rather offensive to those of reduced stature.
Jess Phillips argued that the word is offensive, so they should be renamed:
“You wouldn’t eat a chocolate bar that had racist slurs written on them. You just wouldn’t, and you wouldn’t have, like y’know, sort of… BITCH SMARTIES!”
Jess Phillips MP
This point was hotly contested by a number of people who suggested that they absolutely would buy Bitch Smarties. I felt my creative juices stir, moved to envisage the marketing of such a brand. Behold the end result of my efforts:
Chargie Review
Chargie is a USB dongle that fits between your charger and phone and allows you to fully control when and how much to charge. I bought one to prolong the life of my original Google Pixel phone. Let’s see if it really does what it claims.

Google offers some great services for kids, but over the last year some have been phased out in favour of non-kid-friendly replacements. I take a look at the move from Google Play Music to YouTube Music and from Hangouts to Google Chat.

As a “power user” who uses the Web more than most, I find a vertical tab layout more productive and a better use of the space afforded by widescreen monitors. So why don’t more browsers support it, or better still use it as the default?

I’ve been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4.0 in 1996, and professionally since version 6.0 in 2001. Each release has brought benefits and improvements, and many have introduced the occasional bug. Never in the last 25 years have I had to deal with a version as broken as 22.3. How on earth did this unstable update get released?

The camera has always been one of the standout features of Google’s Pixel phones. Every few months, the app is updated with new features. As the basics of everyday photo taking were already covered, some of these additions are rather niche. Portrait mode was nice to have, giving a soft bokeh blur to the background, but it still struggles with curly hair. Time Lapse mode is neat, but not something I’ve really found a use for. Night Sight mode was a recent example of a feature with more widespread appeal, providing a huge leap in quality for low-light photos. I can’t however imagine a lot of people would ever consider using their phone to take pictures of the night sky…
