A quick road trip to Colorado with my drone proved to give great results on capturing video unlike I’ve been able to back home. Stunning treetops and river runs give a new experience to Colorado that I haven’t enjoyed until now. Some more techniques to learn but this was a good first effort.
Another trip West to Australia and New Zealand.
The earth, the universe, and the stars seem never-ending to a species that lives for about 71 years, incapable of perceiving long term change while stuck to a planet and kept busy
2016 is one of those years that seemed to defy common sense and logic. On a societal level, we devolved. A populist wave of “Go F#@& yourself” swept the country like never before thanks to an unchecked political agenda and a growing apathy towards others.
Rogue One is the first attempt at spotlighting a side story to the normal Skywalker storyline in a major release. The teasers allowed us to see that it took place around the time of the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, and that it would involve something to do with the rebellion and the construction of the first Death Star.
I purchased an adjustable height desk from Autonomous and it arrived this week. Very please with the solid structure of the components and how easy it was to put together. I’ve only had it for two days and I love it.
I was always told that Corpus Christi, Texas was much nicer and cleaner than Galveston. That proved to be false. It wasn’t bad, but Galveston felt about the same and with a better ocean view.
Some work on the house this weekend with a great deal of help.
There’s a photo I took of my son as a young kid, red sweater, red backdrop, laughing, framed on my living room console table. Last week I noticed a small sliver of yellow paper sticking out of where you put the photo in, so I opened it. Behind the photo was $50 and a post-it note from my mom that simply read “I love you son”.
Playing with cinemagraphs. Rachel as a test subject.
I bought a 4k Video drone a few weeks ago and have been trying to get the hang of flying it. Today we took it to the lake and let it take off over the water.
My friend Jimmy flew to Oklahoma to join Nathan and I on the summer road trip to Colorado this year. It was kind of Amazing. Nathan was less of a son and more like “one of the guys” on this trip, despite his tempered pain of a kidney stone.
We took the claw off-road to the mountains north of Crested Butte on the road to Gothic. Beautiful scenery and a beautiful day with friends.
The new job is asking me to make quarterly trips to Washington DC, and New York City. I have no objection as I love coming back to NYC and seeing friends, even more so with the vibe to be working here again. I finally got the meet the people I work with and talk to on phone and online meetings almost daily. I think this job is going to go well.
