I’m not talking about Lee Press-On Nails and an Ogilvie Home Perm… I’m talking an X-Code workout regimen, a healthy diet of Cocoa, and a Quartz mineral bath. This is Camino, the web browser an application I remember using back when it was called “Chimera” in the early OS X days.Ĭamino is like Firefox with a beautiful makeover. Camino you say? Wasn’t that a truck that late 70s porn stars drove around in? Nope, that’s the “ El Camino“. I want a single point of entry into whatever I’m doing.Īnd so it was with great interest that I started playing around with the latest Camino betas a couple of months ago. I, on the other hand, have never liked using multiple apps for any chore, whether it be browsing, e-mail, design, code, or whatever else. Jon likes multiple browsers, and he’s not ashamed to admit it. ![]() Jon Hicks could be considered the king of the Browser Polygamy movement, hopping from application to application with the recklessness of a late 70s porn star. Many people who can’t stand to be without both types of relationships have evolved into “browser polygamists”… or, people who use multiple browsers during their normal daily routine. Safari, on the other hand, has been the opposite: Hot as hell and lives right down the street, but offers little more than instant gratification of primal needs. I’ve thought long and hard about tasteful analogies for my relationship with it, but I keep coming back to a somewhat shallow one: Firefox is like the girl in school who you knew you should probably date because she’s intelligent, multilingual, and funny, but she just wasn’t very attractive to you. There are also many birds and butterflies plus small insects like bees, beetles and flies.Being a Mac user, I’ve always had a problem with Firefox. Here, I explore the rich wildlife on Aspö, presenting images of mammals such as moose as well as reptiles and amphibians. The many more photos taken there, I have assembled in another site, viz. The reason is that I only cover those taken outside my home base, the island of Aspö in the archipelago of Karlskrona. There are few photos of Swedish animals on this site. Another page is devoted to comparing the vultures of the world, all of which I have seen and photographed (except one). The various plumages of old and young Eurasian Buzzards are compared on separate pages based on photos taken during the all time high record of the 16665 Eurasian buzzards migrating over the Falsterbo peninsula in one day in 2017. In a last page, I have compiled photos taken in various parts of the world into field guides on for example the ages of the Steppe Eagle and the White-tailed Eagle. More recent additions include the butterflies and bumblebees photographed in Romania in 2018. It is a kind of anthology in pictures, where I have assembled short stories under certain themes, for example of the family life of Jabiru storks in the Pantanal, Brazil, or of the skrimishes between neighbours on my Swedish island Aspö, in this case Eurasian Buzzards attacking White-tailed Eagles. The geographic perspective is complemented by a part called Themes. Peru), which are broken down into the different winged and wingless animals (e.g. the Americas) are further subdivided into countries (e.g. I have a geographic perspective to the global animal kingdom by dividing it into its European, Asian, African, American, and Australian parts. This website is organized according to where in the world the pictures are taken. In one particular case, I have even included photos of flowers, namely for the Artic nature of Spitsbergen. I also take pictures of wingless animals, especially of mammals such as in Africa and India as well as of reptiles. I photograph any animal with wings, especially if its name begins with a B, primarily Birds, Butterflies, Bumblebees, and Bees, not only looking up but also down at the animal kingdom. ![]()
