It's likely my fault for my viewing habits here, but in my brief forays back to Twitter/X it's gotten remarkably negative. I'm not saying I'll keep with the microblogging habit, but if you want to see my VERY occasional thoughts. @every-daydad.bsky.social

Another great morning trail run.

The two best cameras I've purchased "recently". DJI Osmo Pocket 3 - Holy crap this thing can do almost anything and is shockingly good. Sony FX30 - It's like the spiritual successor to the Lumix GH5 in that for its price, weight, and features, nothing else comes close.

What blows my mind is that this is a full video kit. Great image quality, great audio, even ND filters inside the case. This isn't sponsored, I've just been shocked at how much I've enjoyed this little setup. Probably deserves a video.

Got my first drone in like 6 years, this little thing is pretty neat.

Decided to get some miles in today and see how the budget backpacking gear world is going. Side note. Seriously the Osmo pocket 3 is so good, I wish it had come out back in my camera reviewing days.

I've been going back through the Casey vlogs circa 2016. I bet it was brutal to keep up with but dang they are still so watchable today.

I'm looking at getting into a more all terrain vehicle for some winter backpacking trips. Anyone out there have experience with the Subaru Wilderness trims? I'm really looking at either the Crosstrek or the Outback but am pretty torn.

Something I haven't seen mentioned is, it looks like the M4 chips writ large all have either thunderbolt 4 or 5, meaning the next MacBook Air should finally be free of the single external display limitation. Not a big deal, but this has been driving me crazy for years.

Beard Progress 6 weeks in.

Meh, I still think the Mac mini is the coolest release.

My first reaction when seeing the new Mac mini.

I don't care about the release, but I love this graphic.

I feel so bad when YTers don't realize their microphone isn't connected. If you're new to video you don't even know that it's not right. In this video (2017) I thought the lav mic was working properly and that it just sucked. I understand your pain random backpacking channel.
