I came up with my silly U2 “The Fly” insect photo post for today, thinking that I wouldn’t have time to track down insect shots today because I was with a video crew on campus all day.
Our first stop, though, was a public health lab studying ticks, mosquitos and parasites.

Amazon is shutting down camera review website DP Review. I always thought it was weird that they were owned by Amazon, and I guess that eventually, the cost to run the site was more than DP Review generated in sales.

As someone who once drove a VW Rabbit, I have to say that I’m interested in the VW ID.2all concept. I want a small electric car, and this would be perfect. Sadly, I doubt it will ever make it to the United States.
This laser printer “review” from Nilay Patel at The Verge made me laugh. I wanted to buy one of these during the early days of the pandemic, but they were sold out. After years of flaky inkjets, I eventually bought a Canon Laserjet M15w and love having a black-and-white laser printer at home.

My iPhone case is starting to fall apart, so I’m going to go case-less for a little while and see if I can get used to it. (Or more precisely, see if I can get over the feeling that I’m going to shatter the glass.)
One nice side effect of the Micro.Blog March Photoblogging Challenge… I’m taking more pictures… not just for the challenge. I’d gotten out of the rhythm of shooting for fun and posting a photo every day has sparked that habit again.
