I bought a new camera today and I’m super excited to go take some photos with it. It’s a Sony a6400.

Watching the US Open—and really all tennis—is fun but I can’t get over the odd behaviors they direct the cameras to take. They’ll have shots shaming fans who move during a point to ultra zooms into a player’s arms or legs. I’m just imagining the director saying “now zoom into the clock and slowly rack focus”.

I shared some photos earlier, but we released our first video for One Charge Trips this week. Check it out and subscribe!

I did some updates to my hugo theme, “Internet Weblog” to update support for newer version of Hugo. I realized I never gave it a meaningful version log so I hope I didn’t break anything for anyone using it. If you use it and see problems please let me know!

A friend said they were going to do Advent of Code this year and I thought, hey I should too! I’ve wanted to do it for the last couple years but always forget. Anyway, it started today and I just completed day 1. I decided to only use my iPad Pro with Swift Playgrounds. 😬

📚 I’ve been listening to the Hamilton book by Ron Chernow since we saw Hamilton the Musical last week. First, I hear the music from the show in my head while listening to the book and omg this book is long. Still 29 hours to go.

🎥 I saw “Bohemian Rhapsody” with my daughter tonight, it was good and Rami Malek knocked it out of the park. I’m pretty sure the entirer 3rd act was the Live Aid concert and I’m ok with that. 😀

Tonight I tried to design an app prototype on the iPad Pro using Marvel and Affinity Designer. I’m slow with the tools because they are new to me but it was really fun to think through a product without just jumping into Xcode or sketching ugly rectangles.

Thanks to the new iPad Pro and my iPhone X, I just spent a minute trying to swipe up on my test iPhone. I've already forgotten about the home button. 🙃

Like clockwork, I’m back to feeling like blogging again. First up to see if my microblog setup still works!
