    Trying to explain the importance of deodorant to a child who says “there’s no smell on the webcam.”

    I got nothing.

    I’m crying. “Very unhealthy” is trending in portland because we’re so excited the air is upgraded from hazardous 😂 we have set the bar so low

    I used to take more pictures of not-gear related stuff.

    but also, I built my own photo storage because flickr sucked.. does anyone else even want a cheap online photo platform? A few things are pretty broken on pixelbanks, only turned it on for a demo.
    Aaron Parecki
    ugh I'm so sad about Flickr. I keep thinking about building my own but then the scope creep gets out of hand and I haven't settled on what I actually want out of my own replacement for it.

    What a great presentation. Fantastic production again. I give it a 9/10. I liked the last one more, but this one was really good.

    I also don't think people realize how hard it is to direct execs and employees so that they present in a natural and confident way. 👍

    Would you rather:
    Your startup is like a family
    OR
    Your family is like a startup

    You can order room purifiers on Amazon. Many are out of stock but there are some. Or order direct from @BISSELLclean — I ordered a big one for the studio today, should be here Friday. Also, be sure to install @honey — serious saved $80.
    Aaron Parecki
    I actually ordered one on Friday and it is theoretically arriving tomorrow. I hope it actually does something! Also the price of the one I ordered already jumped 30% since I ordered it so I guess I was ahead of the curve there

    OMG that’s exactly what my kiddo has been saying. (He uses the “pointless” point to argue the irrelevance of homework) Except he’s not expecting it to blow over, because there’s the next few decades to get through.

    This is his favorite GIF for this time.

    I think I'm mostly echoing the sentiments of my cat here, who clearly doesn't understand what's happening and why she feels extra tired all the time

    Fair enough. Maybe I should add some mint essence to this pot of water
    Aaron Parecki
    Update: peppermint is dangerous for cats, don't do that

    Crap. Facts take away even this one small relief. Have you found anything that does work?
    Aaron Parecki
    Nothing. Nothing helps, everything is pointless. Eventually it will all blow over but until then we'll all just be miserable. 🙃

    I just don’t understand how people who drive cars, own refrigerators, take medicine to help heal their bodies, and have supercomputers in their pockets choose not to believe in science.

    I know that this year has been difficult but it’s also been the year that Sony gave us 3 cameras with fully articulating screens so that has to count for something right?

    Boiling with electric or gas?
    Aaron Parecki
    Electric 😕 but as much as I like cooking with gas I don't like the idea of highly flammable substances piped into my house, especially right now

    Not sure it works but mentally it helps and makes the house smell better.

    many of the laser-based pm sensor packages, such as novapm, treat high humidity as pm material. I don't know if steam works or not, but you'd need to steam the place up and then dehumidify for an accurate reading. Steam might also humidify the place which helps sinuses. idk
    Aaron Parecki
    It's the opposite, the sensor reads a room full of fried oil as a huge spike but isn't reacting to this steam at all

    So I heard a rumor that boiling a bunch of water to create steam helps improve the air quality but after over an hour my sensor has proven otherwise.

    quick gif showing how i made my latest thumbnail in keynote using a shot taken with the #pixel4a.

    keynote is so good for thumbnails. i keep a running document for them all so i can see how i'm flowing from one thumbnail to the next.

    vid: https://youtu.be/jvuaT_zlWFI
    Aaron Parecki
    okay I'm sold. gonna use keynote for my thumbnails from now on.
