Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

Failed Footage from Thursday

I’d set out to film the welcome video for my security show, at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

Too much went wrong to use any of the footage.  Hello I’m headless.

So many shots like that. I had to use my Flip Camera (RIP Flip), which doesn’t have a screen to see.

I also came out covered in shadows.

This shot’s audio is full of strangers walking by loudly.

This shot accidentally worked out.

What a waste of good curls.

I did though, take some of the footage used it to learn the new FinalCut Pro, which is a big enough deal I decided to give it it’s own post.

Have a great Sunday and long weekend!

 

 

New Destination Reached Hi from WV

Drove and drove and 500 miles 9 hours and dull.

So many easy jokes about this town’s name.

Unpacked and plugged back in.

Always use a surge-protected power bar.

Don’t plug $000s into the wall without protection.

Then I cleaned out my fannypack. Even lint rollered the inside.

I’ll let you peek inside.

I have internet again oh thank you oh man the last two weeks were tough.

Have much to catch you up on, my security show is slowly kicking off – Smarten Up, Internet, my food blog will launch later this week, and how did Easter arrive so fast this year??

TTYT

 

 

Laundry Takes You Places

Spent the morning at the laundromat. Living on the road, you end up in places you’d otherwise not.

When I pulled in, see those guys standing there?

They all waved and yelled at me, real motivated. I smiled back. Always smile, even if you are unsure what’s happening. Keep your face pleasant. That’s your security tip of today.

I put my clothes in, then went back outside to watch. Ahhhhh got it, they’re day labourers.

Basically I could drive up, say “Get in let’s go!” and in they get. Now I have a car full of willing workers.

I should return tomorrow, “hey, any of you know how to video edit? Final Cut?”

Settled in with my book.

It’s the last in Queen & Country series, ‘The Last Run‘ by my top 3 favourite authors right now, Greg Rucka, and starring spy Tara Chace.

Debated playing pool, because by now the guys outside have moved inside to the tables. I’m watching with my peripheral… there’s a good chance I’ll win, but then I’d have to talk… nah.

Then I made this animated gif, it’s a Flixel.

So cool, eh?! Even cooler – it was made in Toronto, and it’s really taking off. Get it here.

And now I’m home, well, my home for one week.

Gotta run! I have email to catch up on and a city to drive around.
