Seriously trivial thoughts
Did the new Nikon mirrorless Z7/Z6 cameras leapfrog the competition? Do they crush the competition feature for feature? Did they hit it out of the ballpark? Nope. And they didn’t have to. The thing that all the major reviewers miss is that this stops the ship from sinking. Many former Nikon shooters have already jumped …
We took at late-starting day trip to Salida, CO. I was pretty sure we would not make the full 2-1/2 hour drive, but figured we’d see some pretty scenery before turning back. Well, an hour out from the city, there was no way I was going to turn back! Happy we toughed it out. Cute …
Whenever I ran the Ring Doorbell Windows app, it would always lower the volume on any other application (music, video, etc.) that was running. As soon as I closed the Live View, the volume on the other apps would return to normal. I contacted their support and was told that it could be a driver …
Floor and wall space is at a premium in my office and I was looking for a way to hang my guitars so I could free up the space the cases took up. I was just about to order the typical hangers–where the guitar hangs parallel to the wall–until I stumbled onto String Swing’s Slatwall …

Rampart Reservoir is about an hour and 15 minutes from my new home in Colorado Springs. Kimberly and I had a picnic on some of the large rocks on the shore. It’s been a while since I’ve taken some landscapes, so I brought my trusty Nikon D750. I really prefer it’s colors for landscapes over …
I’ve been intrigued by the idea of remoting into a cloud-based computer for years. Historically, it’s been expensive and the machines were limited in CPU power, RAM and storage. A french company called Blade is changing this with their Shadow service. For $35 a month, you get remote access to an Intel Xeon processor with …
I just love unexplainable car videos. I always wish there was a camera inside the car so I could understand what was going through the driver’s mind, but sadly this is never the case. Horrible driver crashes into several cars trying to exit parking lot A driver in Russia has apparently never reversed out of …
A thought-provoking article on how technology has negatively impacted humanity in a profound manner. I have often surmised that the effect is much worse on children raised on technology as their minds physically grow and mature with such harmful artificial stimuli. “…our constant engagement with technology interferes with the pursuit of other behaviors critical for …
