Hat Stand

Anyone else use the jug of distilled water for their CPAP machine as a hat rack?

My Spot

No, cat. That’s my spot, not yours. Piss off, feline!

Art

Art… or as we say here in greater Boston, aht.

Grocery Store Sky

I saw a meme the other day that suggested the sky is more interesting to look at over grocery stores than anywhere else.

I’m buying it.

Nikon Wireless Mobile Utility

I mentioned last night that I played around with the Wi-Fi setting on my little Nikon Coolpix camera. I took a picture and then used the Wireless Mobile Utility to transfer it to my iPhone. Brilliant.

There is another function in the app. You can use your phone as the viewfinder and shutter button. I took that for a test drive this morning before work (and also before the frog incident) and it worked.

I stood the camera up on my desk and used my phone to take this artistic masterpiece. It also stored the photo on my phone. Cool.

Just for schnitzengiggles, I also took a picture of Patches…

…and I also took a picture of a flower. I was playing with the macro setting for this one. Not sure it made much difference.

All of this plus the frogger incident equals my Tuesday morning.

That’s Interesting

Turns out my little Nikon point and shoot has a built in Wi-Fi. You can connect it to your phone and use a Nikon app to transfer images from the memory card to the phone’s camera roll.

I just took this and uploaded it to my phone while sitting up in bed watching The Sandman (episode one) on my iPad.

We live in a thoroughly groovy world.

Toast

Multiple toasting options. The big one is also an air fryer, which is the reason we bought it.

Andover

I keep telling myself I am going to take a camera to the little downtown area in Andover, MA and I keep not doing it. One of these days, preferably before anything there opens.

Also, clock.

I like clocks. Wanna make something of it?

The Point and Shoot Adventure

I went to the store this morning and I took the little point and shoot Nikon Coolpix S7000 with me. I think it did okay. I also think I misremembered what was going wrong before. I think the washed out over-exposed pics were the ones that I took outside, not inside. I think it was the time Jen and I were in Disney World together after one of her company trips that I noticed it. I probably set the white balance to daylight to compensate for it in the park. It’s all coming back to me.

So if it happens again, what do I do? Well, now that I know a little more about how exposure works, I will just drop the exposure compensation a stop or two (don’t I sound like I know what I am talking about? No?) and see if that helps.

Until that time, here’s a couple of test drive pics from this morning.
