Illuminer notre esprit

Notre-Dame-de-Paris Cathedral. Never made it to the observation level of the church. Perhaps, if I ever go back to Paris …

Power post

Another follow-up message relating to a favourite topic of mine: The battery life of my Apple iPhone 4S.
Lately, I’ve been able to go three to four work days between charges.
• Minimal phone calls, light web browsing using Opera with data compression, moderate texting and manual e-mail fetching.
• Not too much photography, some use of social media apps, no web-streaming audio.
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only when necessary.
• Mobile Internet operating on EDGE/2G.
• Screen brightness on manual, set to about 20%.
• Most app notifications deactivated.
I know that’s not the ideal setup for everyone … but I thought it would be interesting to share this information anyway, in case this happens to fit your own mobile phone usage habits.
(Heck, this isn’t always my usage pattern … just what’s been “normal” of late.)

Happy tooth

Chalk up another esoteric Flickr group requesting to have an image added to their pool. This one is called “Neon Teeth of the World Unite”.

Neon Winky Tooth

This tooth was spotted in Toronto a few months ago.
