Amsterdam
We recently spent a long weekend in Amsterdam. This was our first visit to the city and I am not sure it could have lived up to my expectations.
Another Adventure
It seems once one giant insurmountable self-imposed ordeal is finished, another quickly follows.
Ask Different
My contributions on Ask Different occasionally leads to people reaching out to me.
Plastic Defects in Joby GorrilaPods
Megan took out her Joby GorrilaPod flexible tripod for the first time in a few months. When she picked it up and moved one of the flexible legs, it pulled away in her hand.
Splitting More Movie Formats
I wrote Movie Splitter for us, my wife and I. We both have point and shoot Canon cameras that capture video in MPEG-4 format. The cameras have a nice feature called Auto-Hybrid. This feature captures a little video before each photograph we take and combines those little bits into a longer video. Over the course of a day or two taking photos, the compilation of little bits grows into a few minutes of treasured memories.
Blossom
Our long established cherry trees have burst into flower this week. The warmer weather has arrived and the garden is returning to life.
