Breaking a few Eggs

Hopefully will have an omelet and not a mess. I am reworking the entire site over the next few days – please be patient and Contact Me if there are any major issues …

Update 14-August-2023: So … The update completely corrupted my gallery sections. While that may seem like an “ungood” outcome, in the end it was for the best. Moving to Elementor Pro, it has a fine gallery component built into the solution. I’ve removed all Envira plugins and am rebuilding the galleries in the native tools. I may end up also rearranging everything but don’t worry – links wont break! I’ll be using a TON of 301 Redirects, but it will be fine in the long run.

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...
