Summer Business Travel

So it appears that I will be heading back to Europe this summer for work … currently on the itinerary: London area, Paris, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Budapest, Oslo – that’s for starters …

While I am not loving the idea of traveling over the summer – it takes time away from one of my favorite hobbies/mental health tools – motorcycle riding – at least I do get to spend weekends overseas with my wife thanks to tons of American Airlines miles – although after her last hellacious flight home from Budapest through Frankfurt, and being stranded at the airport in Frankfurt, I doubt she will want to go back there any time soon.

I will also get to take more photos in some of the most beautiful cities in the world when there’s some downtime and after-hours.

And from my friend Rodney Orpheus‘ band Cassandra Complex– Let’s go to Europe… 🙂

Spent the morning yesterday walking around SoHo and the East Village grabbing food, photos and flashbacks.

At least the Astor Place Cube is still there, and kids still spin it `round (like a record baby).

I needed a stand for my MacBook Pro to keep it out of the way when using it with my dual monitor setup

Sketched it up in Fusion 360 and printed in carbon fiber PLA on the BambuLab X1C

The STL is available on Printables and also making them for people who can’t print themselves DM for price and info

More fun with the Mavic 3 Pro and @steelstacks_pa. It`s been a while since I actively flew drones and getting out (almost) every day to relearn the muscle memory to manually fly and shoot video at the same time. Yes - I know you can automate the flying but if you cant do it manually when things go wrong it can turn out REALLY badly.

I edited the video for online viewing in Adobe Premier Rush. I will probably end up moving back to Premier Pro unless someone has a better suggestion for editing and manipulating the video streams in post.

MacBook Pro Stand

By John Hoke / August 25, 2023

Scratching an itch (but not the MacBook Pro) I love my MacBook Pro, and with the M2 Max chip using multiple monitors is a godsend. The problem is that with two huge monitors on my desk, having space for the laptop is a challenge. Luckily I have a couple Bambu...
