Nikon D3200 DSLR Auto-Focus Mode Is Impressive!

Shoulda mastered the full Auto-Focus Mode for my Nikon D3200 DSLR. Didn’t know I could get such good results. These were captured with a heavy ass telephoto lens, hand-held, and the stupid robins were moving all over the place! You gotta set those damn camera settings right and be ready to shoot. Shot from inside my dimly lit living room through the grimy glass backdoor. Impressive results!

(BTW, I realize the cooked little bird might be misconstrued as one of the robins, but it ain’t. It’s just a baked hen, I happen to be cooking and eating around the same time the critters come out to eat in my backyard today)

WordPress 5.8 Adds WEBP Image Format Support

Testing it out. Not a fan of it. It works, but only because I’m previewing it in Chrome. However, it’s slow to load maybe because it’s doing some additional Javascripting to make it work. So unless there is native support, I wouldn’t recommend using WEBP images just yet.

Pokeberries. DANGEROUSLY TOXIC TO EAT AND TOUCH.

UPDATE June 20, 2022 – It seems there’s some mixed messages about pokeberries, might be some kind of fearmongering. People do eat these and make pies out of them, although they say it’s not sweet at all, and that bad taste might be where the fear of death and poison comes from. So do your own research.

Here are some random pics I took today straight out the Nikon D3200 DSLR. Them berries look too pretty. Warning though, these delicious-looking berries are actually incredibly toxic to humans and other animals like dogs and cows! Song birds can eat them though. They’re called pokeberries. So DO NOT EAT THEM! Also the sap is toxic too, so don’t let the sap touch your skin, since it can absorb in. DO NOT TOUCH IT! Should probably get rid of this thing before it gets too big. Apparently it gets more deadly as it matures. (more…)

Using Now Patent-Free MP3 Audio Format For Your Indie Games

Originally published on December 12, 2020

I’m super late posting this, as the news happened THREE YEARS AGO and the media didn’t spread the word. Anyway, as of 2017, the MP3 audio format is now patent-free. It doesn’t mean that you can now pirate all the commercial songs you want. What it actually means is now that the audio format is patent-free, you can implement an MP3 encoder/decoder into your game engine! That’s sweet! (more…)
