One of the things with my new job is that I’m getting exposed to a lot of new tech that’s pretty interesting. I’m also finding that not doing a huge amount of new tech stuff for the last 10 years or so has gotten me really behind in terms of what is out there. Some […]
With my new computer, a Mac Studio, comes with a 10G ethernet port instead of the standard 1G (1000MB/s). Since a lot of the work that I do is dealing with tons of photography image files off the NAS, I thought it’d be fun to see if I could get the NAS to also get

The last post here was 8 months ago. Before that it was 2 years. Back in the day I used to love writing a blog. Back then it was me writing for a specific group of people (probably in reality it was much smaller than I imagined). Sharing geeky stuff, writing up complex thoughts that

Today was a relaxing / resetting day. I woke up at 3am and was perfectly awake. My body currently has no idea what day, time, or week it is. I’m hoping to take my boss’s philosophy of simply telling your body that it’s whatever time it is where you are, but I’m not sure. I

Day one of my Vacation to Kenya consisted of nothing but travel. We had some fun with our flights being changed out from under us, but other than that, uneventful. Planes these days even have power and USB chargers, so it was nice to not have to worry about running out of juice for phones,
