As I’ve been trying to settle in with my new life in new city, I have painfully acknowledged the reality of there’s so much to do but alas so little time. Or in plain english, I’m feeling that I have been too busy to have time for stamps the same way I had in the past. Before you grab ‘this is the end’ signs, then I can say it’s not. When there’s a will there’s also a way. Rebooting collecting will just require just some new approaches and perspectives into how I manage my stamp time and stamp related resources.</p> <p style="line-height:2em;padding:1em; background: #EEEEEE; color:black">To read the full story(788 words, 0 images, 9 Comments) , <a href="/premium" class="internalCampaign">subscribe </a> or <a href="#btn_letMeIn">sign in</a>. <br/>If you are new reader and want to learn more about the great content in here please <a href="/introduction-to-stamp-collecting-blog">watch the presentation</a>. </p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> </footer> </article> <article class="post"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="/topic/generally-speaking" rel="category tag">Generally speaking - Deep thoughts about stamps, philately and life in general</a></span > <span class="cat-links"><a href="/topic/misc" rel="category tag">Updates & support for SCB</a></span > </div> <h1 class="hd_link ">Goodbye 2020, hello 2021</h1> <div class="entry-meta">  <span class="entry-date "> <time class="entry-date" datetime="23:46">January 4th 2021</time></span> <span class="comments-link">4 Comments.</span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img style="float:left; margin:10px;" width="96" height="150" src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/duffy-stamp.jpg" alt="Goodbye 2020, hello 2021" /></p> <p>If looking back at 2020, it is very hard to find words other than ‘bizarre’ to describe all that has happened.

There are dozens of brands selling similar lenses from 10-40€ price range; mine’s pretty much in the middle price range. Some stamp brands, such as Lighthouse/Leuchtturm got their own equivalents, but IMHO they seem lower grade and quality than those aimed for ‘general photographers’. I thought I’d show some photographs of what is possible with stamps using a “cheap” macro lens, as well as talk some of the ups and downs compared to scanner vs. digital microscope vs. traditional magnifier/loupe.</p> <p style="line-height:2em;padding:1em; background: #EEEEEE; color:black">To read the full story(1002 words, 4 images, 4 Comments) , <a href="/premium" class="internalCampaign">subscribe </a> or <a href="#btn_letMeIn">sign in</a>. <br/>If you are new reader and want to learn more about the great content in here please <a href="/introduction-to-stamp-collecting-blog">watch the presentation</a>. </p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> </footer> </article> <article class="post"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="/topic/reviews" rel="category tag">Reviews of stamp catalogues and other philatelic accessories</a></span > </div> <h1 class="hd_link ">A day at Finnish Postal Museum</h1> <div class="entry-meta">  <span class="entry-date "> <time class="entry-date" datetime="11:16">February 28th 2020</time></span> <span class="comments-link">3 Comments.</span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img style="float:left; margin:10px;" width="120" height="120" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/finnish-postal-museum-small.jpg" alt="A day at Finnish Postal Museum" /></p> <p>During my winter holidays I went to three day trip to Tampere, the “Manchester city of Finland”.

But I have a gut feeling that very few of us know very little if nothing about cognitive biases. Before my ongoing crash course with human psychology, I had no clue what the term meant in practice, even though as hindsight I can say it has influenced and shaped my life, stamps included to very large extend. In nutshell cognitive biases are mental shortcuts (aka. heuristics) that our brains use to handle vast amounts of data around us as quickly as possible. It sounds like a perfect match for every worldwide stamp collector.</p> <p style="line-height:2em;padding:1em; background: #EEEEEE; color:black">To read the full story(1843 words, 4 images, 5 Comments) , <a href="/premium" class="internalCampaign">subscribe </a> or <a href="#btn_letMeIn">sign in</a>. <br/>If you are new reader and want to learn more about the great content in here please <a href="/introduction-to-stamp-collecting-blog">watch the presentation</a>. </p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> </footer> </article> <article class="post"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="/topic/generally-speaking" rel="category tag">Generally speaking - Deep thoughts about stamps, philately and life in general</a></span > </div> <h1 class="hd_link ">Getting back to stamps and collecting (and blogging)</h1> <div class="entry-meta">  <span class="entry-date "> <time class="entry-date" datetime="14:00">February 9th 2020</time></span> <span class="comments-link">6 Comments.</span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p><img style="float:left; margin:10px;" width="120" height="80" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/spock-stamp-canada-small.jpg" alt="Getting back to stamps and collecting (and blogging)" /></p> <p>Life can be a bit of mysterious creature, and never did I imagine taking a one year break from stamps and blogging.
