I am shocked to look at the calendar, and realize that February is almost over.

Where to begin?  Well, the <a href="https://www.duckland.org/2018/01/a-month-in-using-chromeos-only/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">test with ChromeOS</a> is going well.  I have found that I need the access to my <a href="https://www.duckland.org/category/hardware/r810/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">R810</a> less and less as I move things over to the <a href="https://www.duckland.org/category/os/chromeos/pixelbook/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pixelbook</a>.  I have even found myself doing some light python coding on it.  The flexibility and the speed is very nice.  I have also been enjoying one of the major benefits of the Chromebook life style: major battery life.  I can take my Pixel out of the bag when I get to the office and not plug it in all day, and still have a couple of hours of juice left over when I get home.

On of the things that I am still not totally sure about is doing my photo workflow.  I have been doing some reading, and finding a few tools to play with.  To that end, I am going to set myself a challenge of taking, processing, and posting a photo at least once a week.  As I get more comfortable, I might even move that up to many a week.  It will be good to get back into that as I have done <a href="https://p365.donaldharper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that in the past</a>, but I did [fail the last time I tried daily](https://p365.donaldharper.com/posts/061-end-of-the-road/).

The photo above is from my playing around with &#8216;Augmented Reality&#8217; which is all the fade now days with &#8216;virtual stickers&#8217; you can insert into photos.
