Brooklyn Transit Museum

A few weeks ago I visited the New York City Transit Museum to take photos of the old subway cars, machines and so many amazing vintage signs. It was a beautiful day out and one of my favorite human beings and photographers took me for a tour of the museum.

While it may be on the small side, the museum is packed with history of the New York City transit system. The location is in a 1936 subway station and has rotates different vintage subway cars that date back to the early 1900s. When you step back and look at the history from elevated rails to subway tunnels, its truly amazing that this system we take for granted was even able to be built.

There is something extremely beautiful about old machines, technologies and tools – especially when there is also a veneer of decay or rust. If you are in NYC and have a few hours to spend in Brooklyn, you really should go visit and take a walk back in history!

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...
