Merry Christmas 2016!

Beignets for Santa!

Cafe Du Monde, New Orleans — *The Cafe Du Monde Photo Credit: Wally Gobetz*

It has been a completely crazy and busy end of the year at work and I have had little time for blogging or photography. For my vacation this month I had planned a simple staycation with my family, but as with most things, the best laid plans …

Jen and I have decided to go back to New Orleans for the week between Christmas and New Years, and gorge ourselves on Beignets and Cafe au Lait at Cafe Du Monde. Oh, there will probably be a Sazerac or two (or three) involved as well 🙂

I’ve been in a bit of a photo-funk lately, hitting the wall and not extremely interested in taking photos – hopefully this trip will help to alleviate that as New Orleans is a city just begging to be photographed, in and out of the French Quarter!

Here are a few photos from past trips to the Crescent City 🙂

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...
