Why I Abandoned Business Modeling – Codemanship’s Blog

Don’t start with features. Start with a problem. Design the simplest solution you can think of that might solve that problem, and make it available for real-world testing as soon as you can. Observe (and experience) the solution being used in the real world. Feed back lessons learned and go round again with an evolution of your solution. Rinse and repeat until the problem’s solved (my definition of “done”). Then move on to the next problem.

These three, which I took in Viðey two years ago, have a little bit of a ‘stockphoto’ feel to them but I like them

A man is taking a picture in the harbourA gull flies against a very summery landscapeOn a hill in the distance, a woman looks out to the horizon.

These two were taken in Hvalfjörður, Iceland. This is what remains of the WW2 US military base that the Americans built there.

A ruined, rusted harbour with a fjord and mountains in the backgroundWhat's left of a house. Two ruined walls.

A mountain wreathed in clouds and rainbows. Taken two years ago in Kaldidalur in Iceland. My dad would scold me for not remembering the mountain’s name.

Icelandic tourism in a nutshell. Taken about two years ago at Snorralaug. A bunch of tourists huddle around a puddle while listening to a tour guide talk about why it’s a historically important puddle.

This photo, of three kids running around at my friends’ outdoor commitment ceremony in Bristol, is a contender for my favorite photo I’ve ever taken.

Kids run around in fancy clothes with flowers in their hair

If you’ve spent any time whatsoever in Clifton, then you know exactly where in Bristol this photo was taken. Also around fifteen years ago.

A pavement runs through a tunnel of thorny trees.

I took this picture, of a couple of golfers playing golf in Bristol, about fifteen years ago, or so. Back when doing things outside with other people was a little bit less threatening.
