Switched to @bevel_health for health / fitness and cancelled my Strava subscription. Wasn't getting enough value from the paid features anymore. Still keeping the free Strava account for the community though.
After 3 weeks of traveling, @bot handled 80% of the expenses and the backlog of invoices from service providers. It attaches each expense to the corresponding bank transaction, fills in the required details for tax and accounting, and archives the emails for compliance. Administration of expenses usually takes me 1 hour per week, and much more after traveling. Only printed receipts remain a manual pain point, but taking a photo directly with my phone helps a bit. The remaining 20% are either printed receipts or from companies that cannot email an invoice and are cumbersome for @bot to get (password protected dashboards).
Name your company and your product that AI understands in one go. I'm seeing more Vesus, Veezus, Jesus, and Vee Jesus these days.
Why can @bot schedule a calendar invite based on whatever input from anywhere and @MSFTCopilot cannot do it when I'm manually prompting it into Copilot in Outlook itself?
The eclipse from Zurich, Switzerland. Trees from the Lägern. Didn’t expect the photo would turn out this well with the trees. Also kind of lucky or I’d have missed the complete show.
This is exactly the kind of discussion we have with companies working with photos. AI can definitely help enhance a photo and make it look better. But once it starts hallucinating (sponsor names changed?), or pushing everything toward a beauty bias, you’re freezing a great sporting moment and turning it into a fake reality.
That should not be accepted. People, and especially kids. look up to athletes and start thinking it’s normal to present yourself digitally enhanced toward some beauty standard. Years from now you’ll look back at these photos thinking they’re authentic, when they’re just a fake reality. What a shame.
And it’s not only happening in sports photography. We’re seeing the same thing in school photography. That’s especially worrying when it involves young people. Youth are already becoming more insecure when the digital version of life looks so different from real life. This has real consequences and, in my opinion, needs to stop.

Google fue muy listo; usan los acelerómetros de miles de teléfonos Android cómo una red global de sismos, toda esa data se envía y Google logró una forma de detectar esas ondas a tiempo y enviar las alertas.
Recharged in the Alps the last couple of days

Making a great image enhancement algorithm is one of the hardest problems in mobile photography. It needs to:
- Look natural and pleasant to most people
- Improve the photo without obvious “AI look”
- Avoid weird artifacts and over-enhancing
- Work reliably across thousands of real-world scenes and lighting conditions.
We’ve been deep in this challenge for years. Really happy (and proud) to share that Viesus just won the TIPA World Award 2026 for Best AI B2B Software 🏆If you’re working on imaging pipelines, whether phone, camera, or print, you should always try us out.

Jan and I were front row at the Fogra Colour Management Symposium 2026 in Munich last week. Here's why it mattered.
You take a photo on your iPhone, Pixel, or any modern smartphone. It looks vivid, sharp, high contrast. You send it to print. It comes back flat. Most people blame the printer. The real issue starts much earlier.
The same problem hits the small bakery designing their own flyers — uncalibrated screen, low-res image, PDF sent straight to press. A genuine step forward in print-on-demand. A genuine disappointment when the result arrives. The printer isn't to blame either time.
This is the daily reality for printing companies receiving files not made by experts. Not a niche problem — millions of prints, every day.
At Viesus AG, our world is image enhancement. We work on the image or PDF before it reaches the press — recovering tonal range, enhancing detail, giving the output device the best possible input. Not a substitute for colour management. The step that makes colour management's job more impactful and the final result better.
We're also working on something new in this space. Not ready to share yet — but soon.
The symposium confirmed what we already believed: image quality and colour management aren't separate topics. The printing companies treating them as one integrated challenge are the ones whose output truly matches intent.
