Honest – I didn’t do it!

Star, My Golden Retriever

A quick edit of an older picture of our Golden Retriever Star, “Trifecta‘s Morning Star”, also known at home as The Destroyer of Worlds and Small Furry Things. I was going through old photos looking for something I am working on and ran across this image from about a year ago. This was right after this 70 pound Golden Retriever, who thinks she is a 7 pound lap dog, used my shoulder as a spring-board doing some damage to my shoulder and T6 nerve and laying me up for a couple of days… all while I am on vacation – thanks Star! You are so lucky I love you …

Star: I didnt do it - honest — Star having a guilty look (as usual)

This was edited in On1 photo, cleaning up the background, adding some dynamic contrast and fixing some of the color that was captured wrong … who wouldn’t love that face!

Also posted over at 500px (reached Popular!) and ViewBug – please like and share … Star is an attention whore 😉

Round Robin… Eggs?

Outside of my dining room window, a robin made her nest and laid four eggs. While doing some cleanup in the yard yesterday, we found

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

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...
