Teacher in a Strange Land: Who ARE These People? Teacher in a Strange Land: Who ARE These People? For most of my adult life (other than a brief but wonderful stint in the People’s Republic of Ann Arbor), I’ve been the proverbial blue dot on a red background. Although I am out there as a Democrat (on the executive board of the county party, and Democratic candidate for office), I …

Is this strange v-shape in the viewfinder cause for concern?

Ok this is strange… So I just acquired a Fuji X-H2 and I ended up buying a Delkin Devices Power 128GB CFexpress type b card and it’s all good. So when I went to import the images into LRC I find out that Finder is reporting that this is actually a 256GB card!!! What? I plugged it into my Windows PC and it too says it’s 256GB.
