This post was pulled from my TLog project, but it felt relevant enough to make it to this blog as well. Some interesting stuff about reading and writing code. I’m trying the Nitro Cold Brew coffee from Stumptown that they just started carrying at Planet Granite. It is tasty, but I like the regular cold brew better and will be sticking to that in the future. Still, I do love coffee. ...
T_Logging It Casey Neistat Is a videographer in NYC. I started watching his youtube channel this week. Apparently he has decided that it would be good to V_Log every day. I can’t imagine the amount of work he puts into each of his daily videos. They are so well produced, and often quite interesting.

I’ve switched to using Safari as my primary browser. It works pretty well because I use it on all my devices so passwords and bookmarks are available on all devices. The one downside, the developer community isn’t as big. We use Github at work for all of our repositories. Github code diffs are constrained by the width of their center column.

He story really connected with me and I wanted to share it with you. ...
The D600 is a great camera and my first full frame camera. I’ve had it for several years now but to be honest, I haven’t taken the time to become an expert in the use of the camera. As a traditionalist I’ve used the different modes on the camera but only recently have I ventured into some of the other modes and advanced metering modes. Over the past couple of months I’ve shot several cheerleading events. When I shoot these events I normally take the pictures and convert them quickly to JPEG for the coaches to review. I started shooting directly in JPEG fine. I could fit more pictures on the card and it seemed like camera could take them quicker. The problem was that at NCA nationals I wanted higher quality images so I wanted to shoot raw. ...
