Some cool things I have seen.

With all that is going on, I have seen  bunch of things that I thought were super cool. Check this out.

A few weeks ago I taught a class - yes I had to use a powerpoint, I hate them but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do - with an iPad mini. that is right an iPad mini can drive a projector. Who knew? All I had to do was spend $50 on an adapter. You can even charge your iPad while driving the projector. To make this even better you can then control your powerpoint (actually it was a keynote) with your phone. I think that is super cool, and it really appeals to my minimalist side. 

Check out this Casey Neistat footage from the new DJI Phantom 4 jump to 6 minutes and 14 seconds!

I really think this footage is incredible, and not just because Casey didn't crash into the ocean - which he has a habit of doing - but this just looks sensational. I have been waiting patiently for the GoPro Karma drone, particularly because I don't like the idea of buying a drone with a  camera - I already have a camera - but this really has me intrigued.

Last night I watched the big short. Which opened with a  great quote:



This quote should be burned in the brains of everyone who is active in the outdoors. the number of times that I have been told "of course it is safe, I have done it this way hundreds of times!"

Finally I am reading the new NOLS book Lightning. It is sensational, and finally brings some real science to this topic. Check it out, it is worth the read.
