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…

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
Cancún, Mexico – January 2015
I'm noticing that a fair portion of the items I've made note to include in this post are videos. That isn't all bad. If you have time this weekend perhaps you'll watch a few of them. PowerPress Podcast – In this episode of this podcast MacKenzie Bennett and Jane Ellen talk about Anchor (which I mentioned earlier) and how…

Yesterday afternoon Sarah Pressler retweeted Jono Young's request for a plugin that would add a submenu to the WordPress' Admin with the current pages for the site under the Pages menu. This would reduce the number of clicks to get to the page editor. I was waiting for an upload to finish and I thought, given the code I have laying…

Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse, Oahu, Hawaii – October 2008
This morning I took a few minutes to add microformats to the HTML of my blog. I had done so in the past when my site was using a completely different theme and hadn't taken the time to add them back in. Shame on me. I should have done it much sooner since it took less than 20 minutes…

Nice blend of things things this week. An interview with Aaron Hicklin – I enjoyed this interview and the idea behind the bookstore that is curated into collections by creatives people like actors and directors. Neat idea. Photos from Rosetta – Rosetta smashed into its host comet this week and Flickr holds the photos it took. The wasabi…
