I've been working from home for almost five years now. Daily interactions with co-workers are something that I deeply miss. That face-to-face, problem-solving, and brainstorming sessions are hard to replicate with a webcam. COVID-19 or not …

National Geographic reports that Congress agreed to spend almost a billion dollars a year for the next 5 years on National Parks: https://apple.news/ASpbJYX07TiWEcbtQLVjxXQ This will be the largest investment of capital into National Parks in the …

Unknown wildflower found at the meadow at Devil’s Post Piles National Monument (California).

I would just drive to Los Angeles. The time it takes to get to the airport, screening and waiting will be almost the same as driving. Also you’ll be more flexible with time requirements. Maybe even take HWY 1 there or back to enjoy the scenery. In …

If you live within driving distance to a beach or state park, this would be worth a road trip. Walking on the sand and having a beach towel while listening to waves crashing calms the mind. There are so many state parks all of the US worth …

Welcome to Cake! I hope you like our small, yet passionate community. 😀

Cake.co was launched by invite only in May 2018 and open to all in September 2018.

Thank you so much for mentioning us in the USA Today, Jeff!

It is so great to see us mentioned as an alternative to the giants! We are still the "little guys," but we hope that this sets us apart.

Yeah, it is pretty sporadic. It was slow for me earlier as well, but now it is back up and running fast.

I apologize for not responding earlier to the 503 error. @kevin is the one to ask about the specific details on what caused it, however, the site is now up and running normally. Kevin and I are leaving tomorrow to backpack the John Muir Trail …

I did see that video a while back. Super entertaining and a major endeavor to build!

Looking over the footage and the time stamps, it looks like the driver was following the Amazon Delivery truck. He was staying a couple of minutes behind the truck. The Amazon driver made a few stops along around street then turned around and …

New Development: I went over the security footage again and spotted a suspicious car. It drove much slower than others and stopped right after passing my house. 45 seconds later the man in the video walked up from that same direction to steal the …

I have been thinking about installing a camera pointing at a backyard door for a while. Now it seems like a good idea and not a “maybe one day I’ll need it” kind of a thing. The interesting thing about the footage is that the package thief …

Great suggestion on delivery instructions! After some online digging and a few frustrating minutes of chatting with an Amazon chat or, I got through to a representative. I shared a link above of the Nest Camera footage with him in the chat and he …

After five years of peaceful package delivery, I've just had my first porch piracy incident. Here is a link to a 10-second clip of the guy stealing my Amazon package: https://video.nest.com/clip/29c5e6aff9c14289a1e7d87e32693e3b.mp4 A few minutes …

A few days ago explored Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz, California. So many different wildflowers were still in bloom. These were my favorites but I only had an iPhone to shoot.

The wrist strap that I've been using on my Sony RX100 is super comfy and secure. I've taken it on epic hikes and bike rides. The camera slipped from my sweaty grip countless times, only to be caught by the hand strap. I love it so much that I'm …

Here is a quick iPhone shot of the “flat lay“ of the food.

We are officially in the equipment and product testing phase. So far the remote flash trigger is misbehaving. We are also missing a few key products that will be in the final photo. They have to be bought fresh and ready to shoot within a couple …

16 lbs of cherries at $3.50 per pound. A good price to pay for fun in the sun and to feed three families!

At around 11:30 am the orchard started to fill up with people.

After picking a bucket full of cherries, we headed back to the farm stand.

Don't forget to look up from under the tree. Some of the best cherries are hiding in plain sight.
