My first full week back at work after my honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands has been a busy one. Here are some of the more worthwhile web reads I’ve picked up along the way.

Outdoors and photography

15 Steps to Help with Depression – Number 1 – Be Aware – An extract from Keith Foskett’s new book, High and Low, which covers the important subject of depression and the outdoors.

Camplife on the High Sierra – I love David Lintern’s photo diaries. He has a knack for selecting images that really tell the story of a journey.

Vandalism and rubbish at Corrour Bothy – flabbergasting.

A Year In The Making… – Louis Murphy’s 12-month photographic project is rather lovely.

Entanglement and social media reform

It’s been a hell of a week for news stories about big tech companies doing nefarious things:

Why I’m done with Chrome – ‘Google has spent millions of dollars adding additional tracking features to both Chrome and Android. They aren’t doing this for fun; they’re doing this because it clearly produces data they want.’

Facebook is giving advertisers access to your shadow contact information – Gruber now considers Facebook a ‘criminal enterprise’. Even before this week’s revelations it would be hard to disagree.

A mixture of topics this time, from recent controversies in the outdoors world to the impact of AI on the creative fields (oh, and the crappification of consumer goods).

Attitudes and Altitude: a new Sidetracked project, and a journey across the Alps

I'll be spending much of the rest of the summer in the Alps, trekking and a bit of running from Ventimiglia to Zermatt. It's going to be an incredible adventure. I can't wait to begin.
