This week it feels like I saw tons of great things but when I checked my list in Simplenote for this post it wasn't as full as I thought it would be. So I need to do a better job next week of keeping track of all the great things I've seen. One Letter Removed – Take a movie…
Brooklyn New York – August 2014
If you're reading this you likely do something every single day that you haven't put a name to. You publish. And, it is very likely, that you publish different things in several different places with just a little overlap. You might publish: quippy remarks about a live event on Twitter filtered photos, that presumably look a bit better than…
Fall on Bullhead Bay – October 2016
Moth – June 2010
_This post is part of a series of posts in my goal to hike every trail of Lackawanna State Park. Also see park map._ Hiked in October 2016 – Approx. 3.2 miles – I ended up jogging most of these trails rather than my normal casual hike. Because of this I ended up not taking near as many photos…
Each morning, at around 9am Eastern, a new image is published to my blog. I schedule these posts each weekend (I even built a WordPress plugin to help me) and they publish automatically without any other interference from me. I've just hit 30 consecutive days of this schedule and I'd like to keep it up in perpetuity. The image…

RC Plane, Greenfield Township, PA – September 2016
Lots of things funneled in from Twitter this week. And yet, at the same time, Twitter may slowly be losing grip on its ability to stay in business. Pity. Virtual Forest – VR is coming. Just watch Mark Zuckerberg's demo recently and you'll immediately see why a catalog like Virtual Forest is going to come in handy. Flexbox…

Foggy sunset, Greenfield Township, PA – September 2016
Since updating to macOS Sierra my Photos library will show some bad thumbnails that are either completely black or have black "bars" on them. Here is just one example that I managed to screenshot (see: top left photo). If you come across this issue it is pretty easy to fix. Right-click (or, control+click, or two-finger tap) on the…
Prompton Lake, Prompton, PA – June 2016
_This post is part of a series of posts in my goal to hike every trail of Lackawanna State Park. Also see park map._ Hiked in early October 2016 – Approx. 5.2 miles – If you're looking at the map, the trails I hiked on this particular day rest just southeast of Bullhead Bay on Lee Hill. Lee Hill…
I often wonder what it would be like to be a first-time attendee at a conference like NEPA BlogCon. Even with the speakers attempting to keep things easy-to-understand I'm sure the flood of information can be overwhelming. I think that is why the mix of presentations at these sorts of events is so important. It can't be all…
A cloud from Top of the World, Dunmore, PA – September 2016 (zoom)
I was happy this week to see that the topic of how far behind Siri is came up on many tech blogs. It is a topic I've thought, but not wrote, a lot about. In 2012 Siri was ahead on ability, but behind on speed. Earlier in 2016, prior to WWDC, I wrote a WWDC wish list and…
Grimaldi's, Brooklyn, NY – March 2014
UAV, Lackawanna State Park, PA – October 2016
Danny and I enjoyed listening to ourselves talk so much that we did it again this week. Our conversation is mainly about blog comments and personal blogging. Riveting stuff. Listen to all of it. https://cdevroe.com/media/audio/e9.mp3 Download MP3
