Today the clouds are sending warning signs. Didn’t get to summit because of the unexpected snow. Life is still good.

Minister to your work.

Your artful contribution…

Only preach what you practice.

Glacier Day 401, work

Upper left “Pro Res HDR” is on. Accidentally. Had no idea the photo’s file size. Astronomical.

During a hike i figured it out. Or at least it was my opinion that i solved the challenge. But it would require a MacBook to confirm. The laptop is 40 miles away at the hotel.
iPhoto video data screen
Back in the hotel. Confirmed the challenge. Laptop gave me this view of each individual video. Look at that 315 MB size.

While deep in on a hike, I took the same video-length with Pro-Res HDR off. Went from 315 MB to 19 MB for the exact same clip. Astronomical difference.
wordpress media settings screen
WordPress allows a 100 MB file size upload. Obviously 315 MB is insanely over. And 19 MB is super chill.

Bottom right are the WP media file settings. Before discovering the solution on the trail, i upped the WP settings to…

Moved it from 1024 x 1024 to 1080 x 1920. It didn’t make a difference. Now i know why.

Simple art is operational genius.

Glacier Day 400, work

The ‘every visit’ tradition continues. i do recall breaking the tradition in 2022. Logistical reasons. That’s the Summer we didn’t see Eddie’s remodel and expand.

Boat docks pulled from Lake McDonald. L-R: Mt Brown, Little Matterhorn, Edwards Mountain.

Cloud-covered Gunsight Mountain, center. Smallish Lincoln Peak, right.

i exist to help others .think .differently

Simple.

Helpful?

Annoying?

Antagonistic?

Transformative?

Probably all five.

Glacier Day 399, work

Grizzly Bear
Saw this Grizzy in May. Otherwise, 2024 has been a shut out.

Keep your vision clear, concise, and compelling.

To be at peace with who i am and content with what i have.

Personal vibrancy is the path.

Glacier Day 398, work

Much better than a tent when you’re in Grizzly Bear country.

Why do people like you read my blogs (plural)?

Or anyone’s blog (singular) for that matter?

Maybe it’s because i share ideas, concepts, insights i didn’t know for a long time.

Or share critical things i knew but forgot about.

Or share something i never considered before.

Or that i take the time and effort to reframe an idea and share it in a different, creative, maybe compelling, perhaps even antagonistic way.

In middle school i started thinking bigger (as an adolescent) after finding unexpected success as a 400-meter (yes, it was 440 yards in 1972) “sprinter”.

Or, because i rethink or re-state a theme, or a timeless message, or an irrefutable truth, with one of three simple tools of my trade: questions, paradox, and common sense.

My self-coaching to become a wiser person – is a really wise thing to do.

It’s respectful.

It’s generous.

And i am grateful for my consistent desire to do it. (Could that be an invisible superpower?)

All of the above are definitely the main reasons i read my blogs.

Note: An obvious risk is this body of my life’s work since April Fools Day 2009 may go unread. Blogging began as book-writing practice. It later morphed into leaving a trail for our young son, who’s now in his 20’s.
