Analog charm in digital times: With the new M-Series camera, Leica omits the display. Through this reduction, the user of the Leica M-D should only focus on their subject
Source: Ohne Display: Leica M-D ist eine analoge Digitalkamera - Golem.de - the joke is, I would actually like that. I ignore the screen on my M8 anyway and if my camera offers it (like the GH1), then I fold away the display. But for 6000 Euros? Nope.
Here are some articles I found worth reading this week, collected and uncommented:
USS Macon (ZRS-5) was an airship (yes, a zeppelin) used for reconnaissance and offered space for 4 converted biplanes as a "flying aircraft carrier". The Macon and her sister ship Akron are featured in Plan Orange, a game by Mark Herman about a potential conflict between the US and Japan in the 1930s. Cool.
Wielders of the Three is an interesting deck for LOTR:LCG that brings together some of the most powerful heroes in the card game. I might even go for a pure Noldor variant with Cirdan instead of Gandalf, because Gandalf with his zoo of attachments often takes up too much space in a deck that is not dedicated to him. I'm actually pondering the future of my Noldor deck at the moment, so this would be a direction I should look into.
Here's what I found worth reading over the course of the week and didn't want to link separately, collected and uncommented.
