As we head in to the long winter here in Chicago, I revisited a photo I took last spring. Shot on a Sony a7iv with the Sony FE 35mm f/1.8
I've gone through a lot of travel mugs, but I also have been most impressed with Zojirushi to the point that it's the only one I've used for the last 10 years and also recommend to everyone
GMMK Pro with Gateron black ink V2s for my home desktop, Keychron Q5 Pro with Gateron milky yellow pros for work
P7Pro has a larger screen at a higher resolution which will consume significantly more power. I'm sure some part of it is also due to inefficiency of the Tensor processor
Cute and sweet and all, and I'm glad she's okay. Really. But I'm not sure that "we couldn't find our child for a few hours" is news-worthy.
Glad to hear he's recovering well. People underestimate the degree of deconditioning that happens after just a few weeks of immobilization and hospitalization. Looking forward to more great music from him.
But also... Tumblr?
If you're interested and able to donate, check out a few organizations that are providing aid. I donated to the International Medical Corps because a Libyan friend of mine has worked with them in the past and vouches for them.
Does anybody know of a credible organization to donate to that is providing aid for the victims?
Authorities in eastern Libya said at least 2,000 people were killed and thousands more were missing after a massive flood ripped through the city of Derna following a heavy storm and rain.
BENGHAZI, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Authorities in eastern Libya said at least 2,000 people were killed and thousands more were missing after a massive flood ripped through the city of Derna following a heavy storm and rain.
The head of the Red Crescent aid group in the region had earlier on Monday said Derna's death toll was at 150 and expected to hit 250. Reuters could not independently verify either figure.
Note: my experience is limited to the US medical system, so things may be different where you are. However, I definitely agree with getting wrist braces first while waiting for your appointment. Schedule an appointment with a primary care provider who can evaluate you and recommend either medications or refer you to a specialist. Often times carpal tunnel can be managed with over the counter medications, wrist braces, and avoiding the repetitive movements that exacerbate it (usually typing in today's world). If not, then the specialist of choice is often an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in wrist and hand surgery, though there are also plastic surgeons that specialize in hand surgery as well.

Oh, and for anyone interested, this was shot with my Sony a7iv, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, aperture f/7.1, 3.2 second exposure on a tripod. The relatively long exposure is what gives the water jets that soft, smooth look
Took a little stroll through Chicago's downtown on Thursday night. Glad I brought my camera and tripod
Not knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson's disease. But it's been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.

Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO) are legitimate doctors (at least from my experience in the US healthcare system). They function identically to doctors of allopathic medicine (MD) with the rare addition of osteopathic manipulation. But their standards of training and credentialing are essentially the same. You'll find crackpot DOs and MDs if you look for them.

Florida is the darkest timeline.
Yeah the big draw of custom keyboards for me was trying different switches, so hot swap was a must. I already have more switches than I need. If I could do it over again, I would have first invested in a switch tester
I have no plans to buy any more boards anytime soon. I'm not a huge fan of the taller keycap profile of the Keychron, but I'll give it some time before considering different keycaps
It's the 1st generation Google Pixel Stand, a wireless phone charger. Overpriced and not worth the money since I prefer wired charging to maximize battery longevity
Oh no, I'm not ready for that yet. I'd never be able to use a random qwerty keyboard again
Still deciding. I'm relatively new to the hobby so still getting a feel for different switches. I've only recently become a fan of linears after discovering heavy linears, and now going back to tactiles feels so crunchy. The bananas have a very light bump at the top, so once you pop through that, they just feel like smooth linears. The bump for me basically serves to prevent accidental key presses when resting my fingers on the keys.
This is very quickly becoming a very expensive hobby...
Bottom is my first, a GMMK Pro with Gateron ink black V2 switches. And just yesterday I received the Keychron Q5 Pro with Keychron's own banana switches that I'll be using at work
In 2020, Chicago raised its bridges leading downtown during the BLM protests to try to limit crime and destruction in the area. As cool as this shot was to capture, it's bittersweet to know the context of why the bridges were all raised.
I took this photo a few years ago in Chicago. There were still visitor restrictions related to Covid, hence the barriers around the iconic "Bean." Shot on my Sony a7iii on a tripod. If you're interested, I've got more photos on my Insta @bluu.ig
