Ik las gisterenavond het vierde boek in de Rönning & Stilton-reeks: Wiegelied. 📚
Ik heb nog vijf boeken te lezen in deze crime-serie. Koudvuur, deel 5 staat al klaar op mijn e-reader.
Similar to last Sunday, I completed another 7K run today. I ran the same route as last week, just in the opposite direction, in 40:56. I maintained an average pace of 5:51 per kilometer, which is slow for me. I find it hard not to focus on pace at all.

I have 25 folders (filled with many subfolders) filled with photos from 2001 to 2026. All the folders are stored on my NAS. When I import new photos from my DSLR into Lightroom, I automatically back up the photos to my NAS drive. For pictures taken on the four iPhones in our household, I back up the images from iCloud to my NAS, usually once a year. The result of this process? There are thousands of JPEG files in these folders, and since 2023 (the year my youngest turned 12), the number of pictures we take has increased exponentially.
I’ve long wanted to clean up this digital mess by removing duplicate photos and selecting one photo from a series of photos (often from the children). The purpose of all this isn’t to save disk space; it’s to create physical photo albums for the years since we have children and are a family.
Yesterday morning, I said to myself, “At least figure out how you are going to approach this as a first step.” Spoiler: I think I did, and I’m documenting my thoughts here for future reference and for others who may deal with the same challenges.
I’ve made use of the following two MacOS apps: PhotoSweeper and ExifRenamer, and tried out this workflow on two annual folders with a combined total of a little over 3000 photos. This is my approach:
Ik las zojuist het derde boek in de Rönning & Stilton-reeks: Zwarte dageraad. 📚
Ik heb nog zes boeken in deze serie te gaan.
After weeks of dealing with an injury in my right leg and right butt cheek, I finally managed to get outside and complete a run again. I’m still being very careful, making sure I don’t overstretch anything and risk getting injured again. This was my second run of the week, following a treadmill session on Tuesday. I covered 5.35 kilometers in 32:59, with an average pace of 6:10 per kilometer.
Following up on this post from Andrea Contino, which appeared in my RSS feed last week, here is my list of 10 “first-world problems” I don’t appreciate.
As you might have seen yesterday, my flight to the USA was canceled due to heavy snowfall in the Netherlands. Since I am unexpectedly at home today and have adjusted my work hours to EST, I took a walk near my house this morning. I brought my camera to capture a few photos, since I don’t know when I’ll see this much snow again at home.
I visited Museum Fenix today in Rotterdam. At Fenix, you find stories about love and farewell, home and feeling at home, navigating identity, or seeking happiness. Stories from both the past and present, from here and elsewhere.
The Tornado, designed by architect Ma Yansong, is the striking centrepiece of the Fenix Meseum.
This is the third year I’ve been doing a Default Apps list. The categories here are based on the app categories discussed in Hemispheric Views 097 – Duel of the Defaults! podcast. I placed a 🆕 icon in every category where I changed the app compared to last year. There is also a /Defaults page available on this domain.
