I am sure you are not aware of this, but we live in a world where more and more prices you see are not set by human beings, but by computer algorithms. The price of petrol (gas) at the pump is more likely than not set by complicated algorithms that evaluate demand, oil price, season, historical events and several other soft factors to determine how much you should be paying.

Many online stores like Amazon relies on computer algorithms too. It is very clear from this ridiculous example:

Photography is about many things. People view the world differently. There are stereotypes in photography - there are the "postcard" photos, the snapshot, the selfie and so on. I do not care much for that. For me, photography is about recording something that made an emotional impact on me.

It can be as complex as my daughter's face when she was about to destroy a small flower in my garden at the tender age of 4, or as simple as chaotic patterns. To see what I mean, I photographed a tree. Just a tree with no leaves. Not even a special tree. But the image I saw when I looked at it, is what you (hopefully) can see for yourself now thanks to the profession of "painting with light".

Just saw this new echo look from Amazon. Sounds cool? I think not. By buying and using this you are inviting cybercriminals and black hat hackers in to your most private moments and potentially share it with the world. Remember, once a photo is on the internet it never goes away. You sure you want to do this?

Remember my main rule to protect your digital self:

Be informed, use your brain and think before you do.

Just listened to a client speaking about a new project which they would like to have developed, and during a scoping meeting this was said - really priceless:

We haven’t worked this out now. Having said that, it does not need to stop the development. The development just has to be open so we can choose to go one way or the other.

This was said of a requirement which is akin to me saying I want to buy a car or a plane, I am not sure yet, but it does not have to stop the manufacturing of it.
