It was a fun night for learning and experimenting. Nikon D5600, 3" exposure, F20, ISO400

There is nothing I love more than coming in the house to upload a few hundred photos to find out Xfinity yet again is having issues and my upload speed is 3MBPS. I’m so glad I pay $145/mo for Gigabit Pro.

Being an Apple user: “Yeah, I highlighted text in Safari on my MacBook, clicked copy, pulled my phone out and opened Damus, tapped to create a note, and pasted. And it just worked! And you can do stuff like that with video, audio, etc. Everything is integrated.” Also being an Apple user: “Why won’t Siri turn the lights red?” “Oh, you’ve got to turn them pink first.” “Pink, then red?” “Yep. Works every time.” “Do any other colors work?” “No.”

First time it ever occurred to me to try Nostur on iPad. This was a very nice surprise for a very slow cat. Well done Fabian.

Video editing has been a heck of a learning process. I still hate Premiere. I need a MacBook upgrade before I can fully switch to FCP though.

@Ava We went opposite directions on fur. I’ve never had one with fur this long. Can’t let you do all the cat posting. 😌

The Freedom of Being a Failure One of the most beautiful things left to us by Christianity was the teaching that we are all “fallen.” We are all flawed, imperfect, and prone to problems. We should expect both ourselves and those around us to mess up - and sometimes mess up big. This is beautiful because it was paired simultaneously with the command to do better. To become “perfect.” (Matt. 5:48) Christianity teaches us that we are flawed, and called to grow. The companion command to grow and perfect one’s self disarms the first teaching from being used as an excuse to stagnate and accept imperfection. Truly incorporating this teaching allows us to forgive ourselves and others when they wrong us, or fail at something important to us. It allows us to accept both ourselves and the people around us *as they are,* while also giving us a mission to improve and call our friends and colleagues to do the same. And I think that’s beautiful.

iPhone mirroring is cool.

Amusing how the amount of time it takes to become a true expert at something and how long a generation is are almost the same. It’s the universe telling you that as soon as you figure out how dumb you are, there’ll be an army of kids to call you a boomer for knowing better.

Good day, nostritches. #memes
