A single moment changed my life. It happened two years ago and is still fresh in my memory. I wrote about my accident and recovery here: https://www.cake.co/conversations/pBKgshM/what-tragic-event-has-changed-your-life-for-the-better After two …

As I'm going through and editing photos from the shoot I have a few good ones. This Sand Dunes photo of @Chris is my favorite. Too bad I almost clipped the front tire, but this is one of the sequence shots so there are a few shots to choose from …

There are some amazing photographs from the dry lake bed in your gallery like this one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/vegasphotog/49004525301/in/photostream/

> the highest failure rate Looks like the newly updated 2019 Hard Drive failure rates have Seagate drives performing a lot better. I'm seeing some good deals on Seagate drives, but HGST are also tempting. Any recommendations for a new NAS system?

This is an awesome hack! I've played with Google Maps some more to get a better understanding of how this works. In the United States you can use Google's server: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/ Then add your first and second location: …

I like this shot. Is there more from the series? The composition works well if one plans to overlay text on the left side. The negative space gives it a lot of room. For social media, I would go with a square crop and just focus on the trainer and …

Here is a pano of the entire campsite and the rock formations that somewhat shielded us from the brutal wind.

Behind the scenic shot of the sunrise was a whole lot of being cold and miserable to get it. Here is a different angle of the same spot with the camp site behind.

One of the highlights of the trip was waking up after a super cold night (17 degrees) to see the sunset. It was rising over the Alabama Hills where we set up camp the night before. With the Sierras in the background and the big boulders in the …

Right before the Death Valley we spotted a grove of Joshua Trees and took a dirt detour to see them up close. Chris was having a hard time riding through some sand patches on slick tires. So we made him ride back and forth on that sandy road to …

Recharging the batteries, downloading the footage and getting some warmth after a full day out. We spent most of the day shooting around Mount Whitney and it got really cold, fast!

I’ll be posting a few “behind the scenes photos” over the last couple of days. Kevin and Chris are still filming at Pahrump, but I’m heading back. Here is a shot from Lone Pike of Kevin coordinating the angles with Chris:

Amazing photos of Fall Colors! I miss Acadia National Park for exactly these kind of scenic views of the foliage.

We are back on the road to Yosemite!

It took a while for @kevin and I to find the right spot to mount a GoPro 8, but I think this angle works.

Marques Brownlee already posted a video of his first impressions of the AirPods Pro and he seems to like them, but the price. Can’t wait to see his full review hopefully soon. https://youtu.be/MrUhzYdcX6w

I subscribe to Spotify Premium in order to stream and download (for offline) songs at 320kbps quality. Streaming quality and selection was the biggest draw for me to Spotify. I’ve been a customer for over 5 years now. I use Spotify recommendations …

Apple has unveiled the new AirPods Pro with a totally new design and active noise cancellation. Key features: All-New Design. Smaller size and 3 different silicon tips for each earphone. Sweat and Water Resistant IPX4. 4 hours of battery life …

4,000 of WeWork staff are about to lose their jobs according to LA Times. That is almost 30% of their entire 14,000 workforce. It comes as a condition of a bailout package by …

I've actually discovered a hidden "dark-mode" on an e-ink Kindle. In the accessibility settings one can flip a switch and invert colors. This way the background is dark and the text is light. It is a hack as it applies to all elements on screen …

Those are great suggestions! One of the reasons I actually prefer reading ebooks is because of the even lighting on each page. When I used to read physical books I found myself tweaking my overhead light way too much just so that each page is …

I used to read books with passion and regularly. Non-fiction and biographies drew me in with mountains of knowledge and history. I couldn't wait to finish one book and grab another. Over the last few years, that passion slowly shifted to a …

At Best Buy Zeiss VR One Plus headset is on liquidation from $59 down to $9.

Google found fundamental problems that prevent wider adoption of VR on phones. So they are dropping support for it in the latest Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. Google already stopped selling the headset on its website and stores. According to Google …
