pro tips if you have to take a 'profile' photo for work.

1. set up your phone on a tripod or prop it up, higher than your eye line (nobody likes being photographed from low angles)
2. use the timelapse function of your camera to capture a series of frames
3. stand and mug for a while. to get a natural smile, consider how absurd all of this is
4. replay the video frame x frame until you can find one that you might tolerate
5. (optional) give up, throw your phone & computer into the nearest river

so i had tooted another complaint about Apple TV+ content being egregiously dark, but i deleted it. i found settings in my TV (Sony X800H 65” yeah it’s mid, w/e) to compensate for low contrast and black levels, and i can actually SEE what’s happening now.

my best guess is that Apple assumes you have an OLED and you’re watching in a completely dark theatre or something.

writing a blog post for the first time in a year. i finally figured out how to synthesize a lot of things i’ve been thinking about. maybe because i just got done with an assignment at work? my brain is free to do ‘other stuff’ than panic about meeting unrealistic deadlines.
