I’m really enjoying shooting with Project Indigo from Adobe. It really taxes my iPhone 16 Pro but shows what the limit of computational photography can be.
Rough journey home. 7PM flight JAX to BOS was delayed then cancelled so instead of getting home at 12AM, I got home at 6:15AM after waiting, flying through ATL and then driving the 2 hours north back home. 24 hours of no sleep was tough.
Final day in Florida. Hanging out on the sand bars.
Florida has been fun. One more day of boating and seafood before flying back north.
In Florida for a few days.
In a meeting and 6 people are here and there are 4-notetaking agents in the call as well from 4 different services. MG Siegler’s “Bots talking to Bots” blog post from 5+ years ago is almost the reality. None of us have to join, just let our bots hash it out and send us notes.
Microsoft CoPilot is integrated into PowerPoint (great). Response to me asking for a style update, “Unfortunately, I cannot make changes to your presentation directly.” Then WTF are you doing hogging up RAM and screen real estate if you can’t perform tasks?
Good progress on the dirt bike!
Working for 4 days, dirt bike restoration at night, flight to Florida on Thursday and back on Monday for work again. Going to be a very fast week.
Dirt Bike is nearly torn down to basics. Time to build it back up.
Nice evening last night
Big day. Camped last night, this morning I installed the new Weber grill frame, changed the Tiguan oil, cleaned the grill, installed a car seat, groceries and washed truck. Now, lakeside.
Long week. Low of 50 tonight will be nice. First time camping with the baby, too.
Just finished teaching my first virtual PMP Coaching boot camp. Previous ones were all in person (next 2 are in person as well). That was fun. eight days at 4.5 hours per day instead of four 9-hour days. So it is 8 evenings but I enjoyed the pace a lot. Great class of students.
Finally legal after waiting 4 weeks for a license plate.
Still so thrilled iPhone Pro models now support USB-3 speeds when you connect the proper cable. It took about 30 seconds to import a 6 gigabyte video I shot.
Final night of teaching classes for a few weeks. Money is good but I’m looking forward to a few weeks off from 17 hour days. Big weekend to do list ahead. VW Tiguan oil change, start working on the dirt bike, repair the Weber grill, lawn care and cleaning.
In addition, my battery capacity is down about 25% from new which I feel when I’m in meetings all day. I blame electron apps as well. Slack, Teams and other apps really drain the battery.
The last few months, I’m noticing more and more the M1 Max’s single-core speed being a bottleneck. I’m not at all utilizing M1 Max’s total-core speeds or the GPU cores other than a few hours a week of media creation / editing. I’m ready for an upgrade.
I think the BMW comes back tomorrow and I’ll be done with the car until I have it fully detailed and ceramic coated in August which will take 3-4 days then it’s done-done.
Before and after having the Style 135 18” Wheels remanufactured at a shop down south. $275 per wheel versus $600 each new. I’m happy with the results. Straightening, bead-blasting, powdercoat, clearcoat, new badges & center caps.
Another week of classes though so work 8-5 then classes 6-10:30 for the next 4 days. Tiring work.
Pretty darn good weekend. I didn’t get much family time last week with the day & evening work so it was just a big family weekend. Hiking, swimming, bicycling, etc. Matilda and I went around the entire lake on the bicycle (20+ miles) and rode to town to get coffee.
Hiked Franconia Notch today, My 3rd 4,000 footer. In and back in 4 hours.
This isn’t Friday. This is Tuesday!
