Just tried an experiment for a long note. It dawned on me that I could use my DJI Mic 2 as a sort of dictaphone besides its main use with the camera. There are now a number of AI transcription services that can translate audio to text. So on my way to the barbers whilst driving, I “wrote” a post/note/article which I shall later drop into an online service called Riverside as a test; see how well it translates my spoken audio to text.
Quite often sitting in front of a computer to write leads to a mental block and the above idea might lead to something.
Will report back!

My latest episode of Modulations, my podcast is back…
Morning everyone! Today I’m hastily building a prototype for work mainly because deadlines are a bit tight but I’m starting it early.
Good morning Nostrians!
Went in search of a little bear today 😊
I’ve worked remotely since 2021 and only occasionally go into the London office. I still love working this way. Commuting daily would be no fun at all not to mention expensive. £60 return daily’s daily and that doesn’t include the underground part.

Discovered this beautiful canal bridge last weekend over the Grand Union, Foxton, Leicestershire.
Lunchtime walk
Our trip to Mexico is getting closer and over the next 10 days, I’m going to get very fidgety! Any suggestions for places reachable safely from Playa del Carmen? We’ve got some booked already such as Xcaret and planning to visit Tulim and Tzchicjen Itza (I’ve mistyped that for sure)
Is there a #soundstr because I fancy setting it up.
Finding these interesting. Love a bit of data.

DJI are great. I had an issue with my new Osmo battery grip for the Action 5 and had to send the whole lot back on Friday last week. They received it on Monday and sent out a replacement the very same day. So impressed!
DHL customs on the other hand withheld my parcel for a couple of days for no reason other than bureaucracy (thanks Brexit) and I had to make several calls to sort it out.
Anyway have got it now and will start producing video content again, starting with a lunchtime walk today.
Let’s see what I can show you from around here that is easy to reach from my front door.
First of all - food!!
