I look ridiculous exiting a Navigator; this’d be awesomely over-the-top.
Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
11 days in Vegas is a long time woah.
Returned to Toronto Sunday night to a good friend in the emergency room, so Monday morning I drove to them. Which landed me here.
Ahhh. That accidentally worked out well. And my pal pulled through xo
I’ll do a dedicated Vegas post, which will probably be the most un-Vegas post ever ugh; I do not like that place.
The conferences were fantastic though. I learned a lot, and have some great stuff to share. Tons of videos, too.
I wasn’t able to get online though, it was the most hostile network in the world. I’ll do a post why.
mmm what else… been polishing my Ford Mustang review, it prints next week; today’s column was clinical and so-so; my news on Monday was one of my better headlines in a while, “Drive the Porsche the Internet Built” ha. Remember that job offer I had to decide on? Said no. Oh, and the auto-body franchise CARSTAR kicked off a national campaign today, and I was hired to do the internet part; video and blog post coming tomorrow.
I’m driving my Jetta this week, and have a hankering to test the new Kia Optima; maybe a mini-van; and a Jaguar.
Been a big week already, and it’s only Wednesday. Couple big projects look like they’re going to happen; last Thursday I got an 99%-confirmation email; and this afternoon there was a handshake at the end of a meeting. I’ll tell you soon as I can. Not trying to be mysterious, it’s that I’ve learned the hard way around here:
Doing laundry for the first time in 2 weeks, have two more paper deadlines due, and then I’ll update massively here. I should go eat today, eh. McDonalds, yes, nodding at screen, off I go TTYS
PS – new moon tonight.
Woke up here on Saturday, here all week. Interent is sub-par, especially because I’m attending a security conference where like, my phone stays in Airplane mode.
Will catch you up here soon, I had news to write today, and a video that’s priority to be edited, look for it online early August.
It’s gonna be a really fun week, so far it is. There’s even, at each conference, talks on auto security; attacking a car’s computer network.
kk back to Final Cut.
TTYS
The Galaxy 3 takes better video than the iPhone 5.
I’m cutting in old ‘Canadian Explorer’ footage; things were so grainy 5 years ago, eh.
But I don’t have the hard-drive with me, so I had to download them from YouTube.
If you’re on a Mac, best way I found was use MacX YouTube Downloader.
1 – enter the URL, then download an .MP4 (don’t bother with .FLV)
2 – use the full YouTube URL, not the one beneath the video
3 – download Streamclip to convert the files into whatever (love this program)
