Rifle range

As with a lot of the entrances to natural harbours and bays around Australia, Point Nepean used to be fortified. Here’s a disused rifle range from the air, taken just over the hill from the photos in my last post.

London Bridge

Rock arch known locally as London Bridge, just off the coast of the Mornington Peninsula National Park. Not to be confused with the formation with the same name further west along the coast of Victoria.

And a bonus shot looking south-east from above the arch:

Overcast

Marco Arment, in his blog post announcing Overcast version 4.2:

In Overcast 4.2, the login screen now prominently encourages anonymous accounts by default.

And:

And the first time you launch 4.2, people with email-based accounts will be encouraged to migrate them to anonymous accounts

I’ve been using Overcast pretty much since day one, and I love listening to Marco talk about his work on ATP and Under the Radar, so while not a huge surprise I was still bowled over when I read this post. In an industry which does everything it can to squeeze every little bit of data out of users, whether legal, moral, justified, or otherwise, this guy is running in exactly the opposite direction.
