8th Anniversary

My impulse purchase of an Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch) today, 8th anniversary of Steve Jobs' passing, is kinda my small tribute to the man who changed our world. We can only wonder what other ways he would have changed our world if he were still with us.

Since his passing, climate change has become an even more important issue. He probably would have done more than what Apple is currently doing about it. I believe he would have 1) built an iPhone / iPad with user-replaceable batteries to extend their usable life instead of sending them to the dump / recycle so soon as is currently happening 2) built an iPad with phone built into it so that lot of us didn't have to use two devices, and 3) generally increased lifespan of products across the board instead of just tweeting "climate change impacts all of us" or "there is no more urgent mission than saving our planet".

Precision Macro Focusing Rails for Macro Photography

4-way macro focusing rails with two rails (one goes left-right, the other goes forward-back) to assist in macro photography. While it can be used with just one of these, I find having two assembled (as shown in the picture) makes it easier when focusing closely. Precise movements are especially useful for focus-stacking.

The only thing I don't like about these is the red-colored knobs. Since these are used at such close proximity to the subject, these could contribute to unwanted color cast. Would have been nice if they were left black, like the rest of the parts.
