Now the real struggle begins. Hitting one whole month. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I’ve made it 30 days without buying a camera 🤣

Days since last camera purchase: 11

but the RX100 VII comes out next week! How are you not gonna buy it!

@aaronpk I'm guessing you use that Live thing and then select the frame you want. Not something I generally do when I'm snapping, but I might try and remember in future.

Even simpler, I just recorded a video until I saw a flash, then stop the video and find the frame! Then I use a video editing app to export the single frame from the video.

@aaronpk Wow. You actually caught a flash of lightning.

There's a trick to it! 😉

+1 I also decided to not show replies on my home page. I feel like they're not as relevant to the broader audience that follows my content. If people want to find them they can.

Out of curiosity, what airline had them? I've never seen one in the wild!

Delta this morning, pretty sure I've seen them on Alaska as well! They're only in first/business or the bulkhead seats.

Ikea Dimpa...perfect size, $4.99. Getting one tonight and taking a chance. Worst that happens my bike gets squashed, falls off the plane, destroys a small town.

Nice let me know how it goes!

Dang. I think I may try the ikea bag method and bring it as a carry-on. It's supposed to fit in the overhead bins.

Like in a giant blue bag? That's a thought! My only worry is some planes have the super small overhead and it won't fit, and then they'll want to gate check it.

@aaronpk Tomorrow I fly to San Francisco via Alaska Air. Any tips on taking a Brompton?

I haven't actually done that myself yet, but I was thinking about bringing it to Redlands next week!

Curious, what do my YouTube friends use to organize and plan their videos? I use @trello but wanted to see what else is out there...

I've been using @Airtable for keeping track of video status and dependencies, and writing the scripts in @NotionHQ

That reminds me that I still need to clean up and publish my little PoI provider tool. Weird edits on Foursquare can really mess up local data that relies on their database.

Yeah thankfully each of my checkins stores a snapshot of the venue at the time so at least changes like this don't affect the old checkins. Also I apparently have enough Foursquare superuser privileges that I was able to rename the venue back immediately! :)

well that was an experience.

also fun fact: my first electric piano had this as the demo song, and I never actually knew what it was, but that song has been burned into my head from a very young age.

That was an amazing video! Cheers for buying all of these so we don't have to.

I tried it myself using two wireless lav mics, you might get a kick out of it: https://youtu.be/iO1aF8-cuD0

Up late editing. Tell me a joke.

You can identify when you are done editing the video when you are perfectly happy with it and can't find any mistakes.

That would be awesome! They did just release the LX100II. I'd totally be down for a LX10II.

Maybe they can fix the stabilization while they're at it 😉 And also give it a mic jack.
