Don’t you love the accessibility (a11y) awareness of people that put tables as images on their web-pages? The last link above did (see the image on the right below), I don’t: I love plain HTML with plain old rules and left-alignment content when it makes things more readable, so I converted it into a plain HTML table (: Read the rest of this entry »

Ik weet de exacte afstand niet maar op zo’n grote afstand heb je zelfs op 160mm 2.8 nog een flinke scherpte diepte. Ik gebruik vaak de app photobuddy om dit soort dingen inzichtelijk te krijgen.”

Jeffrey’s Exif viewer: a great non-regex thing on regex.info (:
