"Wrinkles The Clown" trailer
I read the synopsis and thought it was just the premise of the film's story but having read it again I noticed the genre is listed as 'Documentary' and there really is a
In late 2014, a low-res video of a person in a clown mask emerging from underneath a sleeping child's bed appears on YouTube. The description below the video claims that the clown is named "Wrinkles," that he lives in southwest Florida, and that he's been hired by the child's parents to frighten her for misbehaving. The video goes viral. Soon, more mysterious videos of Wrinkles scaring children appear online, along with a phone number to hire him for "behavioral services." Wrinkles becomes internet lore - a whole genre of YouTube videos of kids filming themselves calling him appears online, and over a million messages are left at the number. Voicemails range from disturbing to hilarious to terrifying: parents use the number to terrify their children, kids who are obsessive fans of creepy clowns reach out to make a new friend, children threaten to inflict wildly creative violence if he comes anywhere near them. But who is Wrinkles, and why is he doing this? With incredible access to the mastermind behind the mask, Wrinkles the Clown is a cryptic and playful exploration of these questions, as well as an inside look at myth-building and the unpredictable spread of imagination in the Internet age.

I find this whole folding phone concept to be very odd. There seems to be some enthusiasm behind it from the tech community, but the implementations are so poor. They're thick and look to be fragile too.
Foldable phones had their place in history, even I had one, but the formfactor just doesn't work when you're talking about smartphones. There is one application for them thought that I haven't seen looked at yet and I'll look at covering that use case in a week or two.

The 50 most beautiful places in the world
There's not a single one I don't want to visit and it's pretty sad that I've only been to two of these places. I've visited the Grand Canyon a few times now and got to see Reynisfjara as part of a tour of Iceland back in 2012.

The impact of smartphones on the camera industry
I linked to a piece on the sharp decline of camera sales last week but just came across this graph on the subject that makes the rise of smartphones and the fall of cameras look even more dramatic.
