In April 2023, on the drive from Nashville TN to Asheville NC, I saw seemingly countless advertisements for Rock City in Lookout Mountain GA near Chattanooga TN. A detour was in order...to SEE ROCK CITY.
Notebook / Blog
Rather than a blog, I like to think of this space as a personal notebook that is open and available for all to see. If I'm already keeping notes for my own various uses, why not share them publicly and hopefully provide value to others as well?
I forget how I first overheard something about “Beale Street” in Memphis — I believe it was in 2022 while hanging out in Nashville. It drew comparisons to Nashville’s strip of live music spots on Broadway and I had to know more. There are few things I adore more than live music, especially in unique venues.
And admittedly, the thought of Memphis-style BBQ, Graceland, Tennessee's beautiful nature, and a good old-fashioned road trip also caught my attention.
I had an idea to try in-the-waves photography using the waterproof GoPro 11 I picked up earlier this year. The results have surprised me!
Scotland is a lovely place.
Incredible architecture, dramatic and beautiful nature, pubs full of character, live music and amazingly friendly locals made this country an absolute delight to visit.
This was a work trip, so while the calendar was very busy with filming, there were opportunities to see many different spots in Glasgow and Edinburgh over the ten days we were there. Here are some highlights of what I was lucky enough to experience.
We were all set with a new Pharos Print Release Station EXCEPT we still needed to order and program a USB card reader for swiping cards and unlocking the release station. This is what was necessary to program it for Pharos use.
Have you recorded an audio track in Garageband, only to find you can't hear anything when you play the recording back? Even though the track shows a recorded waveform, suggesting there should be audio present?
A number of Apple computers were stuck "Checking for updates" in Software Update in System Preferences. Updating via the Terminal didn't work either. I finally found a fix.
Take five minutes every Wednesday morning to think outside the box about the things that could be. Use this as an exercise to get out of the head space that you're in....out of the day-to-day routine and to step back and think.
If I was offered the opportunity to revisit any U.S. cities, these are the top 8 I would select + an explanation of why.
If I only ever post a handful of blog posts in my life, I want this to be one of them because it's one of the most important lessons I've ever learned. Most people don't bother to ask for things they want or even need in life because they assume they are going to be told no. They fear that feeling of rejection or failure. Asking for things will change your life for the better. I have witnessed it firsthand.
