This is another unanswerable question. There are too many favorites to narrow it down to one. I think it is time for a list, and it is probably going to be on the long side…

  • Current shows
    • Rick and Morty (though last week’s episode was the worst they’ve ever made)
    • Star Wars: The Bad Batch
    • Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi
    • South Park
    • Family Guy
    • Bob’s Burgers
  • Shows that aren’t running anymore
    • Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    • Star Wars: Rebels
    • Bugs Bunny, especially Loony Toons
    • The Super Friends
    • Scooby Doo
    • Star Blazers
    • The old Spiderman show, the one with the famous theme song
    • The Flintstones
    • The Jetsons
  • Shows my step kids watched when they were little that were good enough (ie adult enough) that I started loving them too
    • Gravity Falls
    • Phineas and Ferb
    • The Mighty B!
    • Wander Over Yonder

There are at least 100 more, but this will do for now. Here’s hoping this Sunday’s episode of Rick and Morty is better than last week’s suck burger.

ADDENDUM: How did I leave Futurama and Archer off the list? What is wrong with me?

Lights

We went for a drive tonight to look at houses with Xmas lights. We went back to the best neighborhood in the city. The one that actually stretches across the street.

Our city Xmas tree is in front of the library. It’s epic, but people are bitching about it this year? What the hell?

Finally, the obligatory clock picture.

Camera Workflow

I have a new workspace for telecommuting. I had a desk in the cellar that had a work computer section and a personal computer section. When I took my photo a day pic at lunch time or whatever, I could plug my Nikon Z5 into my personal computer, a MacBook Pro, and pull the RAW file into Apple Photos, convert it to a PNG, and then upload it to Flickr.

On the new desk, I don’t have the Mac next to me. It’s just Windows. That means I don’t have a way to convert from RAW to something else. I suppose I could find an app to do it, but I don’t want to install anything on my work laptop. Instead, I changed my camera workflow a little. Instead of saving RAW files, I am not saving a RAW file and a JPEG. I’m also saving the two formats to separate memory cards. RAW goes to the card in slot one, and JPEG goes to the card in slot two. That means I can put the JPEG card into my USB card reader, and upload to Flickr directly from the card. That way I am not saving anything to my work computer, and I can still take care of my photo a day thing during the work day.

Here is proof that it works:

Success, babie!
