Year 50

Year 50 Day 274

by

Me in front of a wall of large glass bricks.

Day 274: Noticed this wall of glass bricks on my way out from having lunch with my wife in her office. A pseudo-sequel to last week’s shot from the optometrist’s office, I guess?

Year 50 Day 273

by

Me in the parking lot outside my work building, with the sun setting behind trees in the background.

Day 273: We knew a couple later days were coming, so we escaped from work a little early while the sun was still up! Then sat through an unusually long slog home that took almost twice as long as usual. Ah, well.

Year 50 Day 272

by

Me walking on a treadmill in our basement.

Day 272: When I’m at work (and the weather isn’t crap), it’s pretty easy to go wandering around the campus occasionally. On my work from home days, I have a tendency to get a little sedentary, so today I reminded myself that we have a treadmill in the basement. Something else I need to get back in the habit of doing!

Year 50 Day 271

by

Me at my desk at home. Two monitors are mounted one above the other; the top monitor has DJ software, the bottom monitor has video broadcasting software. Below the monitors is a DJ controller.

Day 271: I keep telling myself I need to start devoting a little time on the weekends to practice mixing before the Thursday Night dance at Norwescon so I don’t spend the entire time trainwrecking. Today I actually managed to do it!

The setup is a Pioneer DDJ-400 mixer, the OBS video streaming software on the bottom monitor, and Algoriddim’s djay Pro on the top monitor (plus Rogue Amoeba’s Loopback and Audio Hijack running in the background to capture the audio stream so I can later upload it to my Mixcloud account).

Year 50 Day 268

by

Me holding a small pizza cutter.

Day 268: We needed a new pizza cutter, so we decided to see if our preferred knife company (Henckles) made one. Turns out they do, so we ordered one, but somehow got one shipped from Japan that’s about 2/3 the size of the pizza cutters we’re used to. It should work just fine; we’re just amused at how tiny and cute it is!

Year 50 Day 267

by

Me wearing an I heart NY shirt.

Day 267: Yes, it’s a cheesy touristy t-shirt. But it’s a cheesy tourist-y t-shirt that I got in New York, and we really enjoyed our time there on our vacation, so it’s legit.
