Vine of yarn

Captured along Kensington Rd. N.W. in Calgary, last month … and at last check, it’s still there!

(UPDATE: Oct. 11, 2013 — It looks as if it’s been removed, sadly.)
(UPDATE: Oct. 19, 2013 — Don’t know what I was looking at before, but it’s clearly still there. Sorry about that!)

Berserk

Just because “berserk” is a cool-sounding, cool-looking word. There is no other reason for the photo or this blog posting. 🙂

Well, you’ve probably seen a few of these online already … but I thought I’d throw in my two cents anyway with this non-scientific comparison between the cameras on Apple’s iPhone 5S and 4S.
In each row, the 5S photo is on the left and the 4S photo is on the right.
To see a larger version of the picture, click on the image for a link.
None of these images was retouched or cropped. They are as the cameras captured them.
Enjoy!

“Repeat Album” found … unusual limitation in iOS 7

So in iOS 7, it appears you can only repeat an album if you choose to listen to an album whilst browsing from the Album category. If you choose an album whilst browsing the Artist category, you can only choose to repeat the artist.
That’s a pretty weird limitation, especially for people like me, whose mind is set to sorting music by artist name rather than by album name.
Here’s hoping this is a temporary change.

The other side of Paris

Paris moderne

Towers of glass, steel and concrete are not the first things that come to mind when you say the word Paris.
And yet, tucked away in La Défense, is a pocket of futurism surrounded by a sea of history.

What happened to “Repeat Album” in iOS 7?

There does not appear to be a “Repeat album” option in the iOS 7 music player. A bit annoying.
Additionally, I’ve noticed some volume issues in playlists, where songs will suddenly get louder or quieter within the first few seconds. Perhaps something amiss with “Sound Check”?
In any case, there is apparently an update to iOS 7.0.2 that mainly corrects a security problem … perhaps these will be addressed, too?

UPDATE: Answered my own question, sort of. Please see this newer post.
