Fallout 76 Beta Review on PC: Day 1 Thoughts
As a super nerd of the Fallout series, anytime there is a new version coming out - I’m very excited. After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, the day is finally here to test the B.E.T.A. and get a handle on the new Fallout 76 mechanics.

A cold and icy morning in Lakewood - the sky was clear with low winds when I woke up so I decided to seize the opportunity and take the Phantom 4 Pro out by the frozen Lake Erie.
A new side project: Aerial Guide
Starting a new side project is always a fun yet overwhelming process. I plan on making a website, YouTube & Instagram - but first I have to start with a logo. I wanted something bold and simple, but most importantly - no cameras, aperture/lenses or drones in the logo.

Working on the year-end video for Second of the Day 2017
Ever since I cracked and added music to Second of the Day, discovering the perfect song has become the major choke point. It's a pain that is all too familiar from editing skate videos.
Adding a Time Hop-like today page to Second of the Day
Whilst being disappointed by my lack of social media posting when I opened my time hop app, I had a realization.
Choosing the proper online resource: Lynda vs Treehouse vs Code School

Why is audible charging me $10.28 per month when I cancelled my membership? Audible fee?
Finally found out why Audible was charging me $10.28 USD and getting no credits to my account. But a membership is $14.99 a month? Whats going on here?

Blend Guide on Let’s Encrypt
