The internet is big enough I can nearly always find any answer when my software does not do what I want it to do. I know video guru Andy Rush my snicker but I use Apple’s iMovie for all my video editing. It’s been years, maybe a decade since I used Final Cut Pro (so […]
Each week I buy a package of cheap storebrand sugar cookies, I call them my “Horrible Cheap Cookies.” I eat 2 or 3 when my blood sugar dips. My wife laughs at me, but I kind of like those no-name maple cookies. I have no idea what’s in them. I can guess, but do I […]
It’s back. It’s dark, reflective, you are looking into it. It looks “off”. But it’s not. It’s looking at you. Is it?
