DXG

Posted on Tuesday, October 20th, 2015 at 11:23 am

I pulled the DXG vidcam out of the suitcase and am charging the neglected batteries.  I checked on flash disks, and I’m amazed at how cheap they’ve gotten.

Shot a short vid of Myka watching a squirrel outside the window.  The only action was her tail.

Viral

Posted on Monday, August 11th, 2014 at 5:48 pm

I am sometimes awed at viral  waves across the internet.  Then again, sometimes they demonstrate just how few of us are truly educated or anywhere near it.

.

Case in point, on August 5th, a GIF was released by @cjzero (CJ Fogler), his handle layered on the print frames.  The sequence showed a young woman at an Arizona Diamondbacks game, talking to her boyfriend and showing a marked reaction.  CJ claimed that he had no idea what was going on with her.  If you can’t find it, then you don’t understand viral and meme.  If you find it once, photo search it on Google images to see how it’s spread.  I don’t blame anyone for not trying.

.

For anyone who has witnessed a seizure in progress, the symptoms are unmistakable, face, neck, left arm.  About six or seven out of some four hundred replies that I saw  recognized it and made note.  But they were largely ignored, with most of the comments relating to vibrating panties, flatulence, diarrhea (usually misspelled), turn on/turn off instant switch, cleavage in the background, and all sorts of argument and sexist innuendos, few displaying even the slightest level of intelligence.

.

Sometimes, I do worry.  Then again, it keeps them out of trouble, hopefully, for a short while.

Stoned again

Third session of kidney stones started Saturday, before the show.  Monday was the big dump, some 25-30 grains in a single flush.  And I still feel it.  I suppose the big ones will follow as the kidney dilates.  I am tired of this.

.

But the show was fun.  Recorded audio for all three sets.  Recorded video for Nani Wahine, but it turned out dark in the shadows, as I forgot that there is a night mode setting.  First camera use, and I’m not as impressed with it as I first was, but I’m sure I’ll warm to it as I learn how to use it in the barn at night.  But the Nikon was easier, even if it didn’t record as long.  I still have the audio and video to edit.  Not exactly spry, so it may be a few days.

.

That’s okay, I have new movies to watch as I recover.

.

Started a new iPhoto library at the first of the month.  The old library was taking forever to update and close.

Nursoda has a new character, Aina.  I’ll have to deposit a few of the dollars that I made doing sound and posters in the bank to cover it.

Vidcam

Well, looks like as soon as I get the Nikon, a DXG video camera is being donated to the Bottomland cause.  Floods of digital work during spring.  No no, it’s supposed to happen in the summer.  But the vidcam will have its use.  Having the mixer soundtrack available for edits makes for a pretty good music video.

.

One good news is that I get to work on the barn, so I’ll be outside.  Light over the door, ceiling fans, roof sprinklers, and other summerizing chores.  So I won’t be tied to the desk all the time.

.

But there is the party audio tracks to edit.  I listened last night, pretty good raw material.

.

Still dragging from the 11 day ordeal.  Today is Ω+3.  Need a few more days, but I think I returned to the living today.  Grocery/hardware run today.

Napping a lot…….
