I met you (and discovered scooting) during my in-between time when I was trying to create joy amidst all my fear and sadness. Life is VERY happy now - I'm engaged to an amazing woman (! LOL!) and am best friends with my ex-husband. I could hardly ask for a better outcome! AND I'm going to start motorcycle lessons this spring!!

I am testing a theory that my primary vlogging platform could be a top of the line iPod. I bought one for specifically that purpose: ~120 gigabytes of storage, and the only apps I use are the Apple Camera app, and the Røderec professional recording app. The standard camera app allows for time-lapse and slow motion, in addition to regular photos and videos. I use the Røde Smarlav+ lavalier microphone that, so far, is working really well for me.<br /><br />I can't wait to get home to post some additional episodes. I have harvested some really great video sequences.<br /><br />It's early days in my vlogging and I can raise the bar, I think, consistently in these early days. Being in the company of legends like Ken Wilson, Bill Leuthold, and Jim Mandle makes the task a breeze.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-80638880940876263872017-02-12T08:17:50.594-05:002017-02-12T08:17:50.594-05:00Final Cut Pro X --- man you are a glutton for puni...Final Cut Pro X --- man you are a glutton for punishment. I used to use that for my personal projects and at work but found the newer versions of iMovie could do almost everything I needed. Final Cut is robust but oh the learning curve...<br /><br />You refer to the iPod. Do you mean iPad? <br /><br />Vlogging is a challenge and there are lots of details to attend to. They've largely kept is at bay for me. That and I don't have anything to say yet. <br /><br />Loved your intro and spinning around as you speak. The mirror adds insight as well.

It looks like you are talking to someone behind me.
