Salida, CO – May 2019
We took a trip to Salida, CO for the weekend. It ended up being a bit cold, but the incoming cold front made for some gorgeous sky and mountain shots.
Stream video files over WiFi to Oculus Go when traveling
Due to the meager storage capacity of the Oculus Go, being able to stream video files over WiFi using a portable device is a real game-changer when traveling away from home. Historically, my portable streaming device of choice was the RAVPower RP-WD04. However, I found streaming the generally larger VR files to be problematic using …
Window-mount a Yi Home 2 Camera
Having owned the original Yi Home Camera, I had high expectations when I ordered the Yi Home 2 Camera. It’s version 2…it HAD to be better, right? I was really looking forward to the wider 130-degree lens. However, once I got it, I was very disappointed that Yi changed the base and the Home 2 …
Mason Reservoir…well, almost
We tried to make it to Mason Reservoir today, but were denied at the very end of a 12-mile journey down a twisting dirt road. The darn gate was closed! We were disappointed for sure. Stopped at Victor on the way back and I snagged some peanut butter cookies from Gold Camp Bakery–hands down the …
Shutdown Windows computer and Synology NAS using WinNut
Previously, my Windows PC happily send a command to my Synology NAS to shutdown when the UPS (connected to my PC) was running low on battery power. (See my post, “Shutdown Windows computer and Synology NAS using CyberPower UPS“) Things came to a grinding halt when DSM 6 was released and eliminated remote access by …
Scary cool Gulper Eel video
Just when I think I’ve seen everything, Nature comes along and says, “nope.” No Title Big gulp! The Nautilus team spotted a gulper eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides) doing just that in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Its pouch-like mouth can inflate in an instant, scooping up much larger prey just like a pelican–and giving it that muppet-like …
Winter Park and North Catamount Reservoir – Aug-Sep 2018
We took a trip to Georgetown and Idaho Springs this weekend and stayed in Winter Park. Only a couple hours away, but traffic was heavy heading out. As luck would have it, the Aspen trees were just starting to turn colors and it was magnificent. I forgot to post photos from our trip to North …
LED Lights tripping my circuit breaker!
I recently moved into a brand new home. After a few weeks, the circuit breaker in my office would trip every week or so, but recently it began to happen every night. I figured all my office equipment was using too much power and I need to have an additional circuit installed. It seemed odd, …
The new Nikon Z7/Z6 stops the ship from sinking and that’s what is really important
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 …
Salida , CO – Aug 2018
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 …
