Stunning Drone Video of New Zealand Lakes and Mountains
Today is another travel day. I used to get excited to say that, but now I wish I could stay put for just a little longer. But the show must go on!

The video was shot via my DJI Phantom 3 Drone (recently repaired) and the camera was controlled by my … [Read more...] about Stunning Drone Video of New Zealand Lakes and Mountains

An Ode to the Best Lyft Driver Ever
Usually my "on demand" car service of choice is Uber, but lately they have been grinding my gears. It seems like every time I call up the app, they arbitrarily assign surge pricing to the fare. Yes, I would like a ride. No, I would not like to pay 1.5x the going rate. The first time this happened on Oahu, I called up Lyft for an alternative.

These were all taken using the DJI Phantom 3 Pro quadcopter in raw mode, then enhanced in … [Read more...] about Amazing Aerial Photos of Hawaii from Above
Tour of Zenith Vineyard in Willamette Valley, Oregon Wine Country
Earlier this year I was in Hungary for a marketing conference. Sitting at dinner and wanting something other than beer, my friend Caleb offered me a glass of wine. I gladly accepted. Looking at the label for Zenith Vineyard, I noticed it was from the Willamette valley in Oregon. … [Read more...] about Tour of Zenith Vineyard in Willamette Valley, Oregon Wine Country
