Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

Saturday Nights are for Blogging

And doing your nails.

Love doing my nails.

That tool is key, learned that from @It’sBrownBarbie. My nails are even on Casie’s blog right now. Are you following Casie’s blog? You should be.

I’ve been trying stickering my nails, I get it.  Don’t bother buying cheap ones though, they don’t fit (see above), a total waste.  I’d like to try having a professional put them on.

Back to blogging.

You can tell it’s Saturday night when you see the bubbly water by my monitor. No joke, check my Twitpics.

Thursday nights though, I say it every week…

Tonight I finally got to some back-end-blog maintenance, caught up on having reliable internet again.

Made Sidebar Art.  

Which is so beautiful it’s in it’s own post here.

I was going to talk on the phone while I did that, but never picked it up. Enjoyed the silence.

I’m a fan of silence. How you can fully concentrate with music on, I don’t know.

Have a great long weekend!!

Enjoy family and friends, enjoy IRL, put your phone down.

 

 

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!

 

 

Swooning Over a Codec, I Can Edit Again

I AM ELATED.

My camera wouldn’t talk to my computer. How can I edit?

1 – the problem
2 – my computer couldn’t read the files on my video camera, they were trapped inside the camera
3 – the solution

** When buying a Sony video camera: Sony is proprietary. They try to make you use their software to get pics/videos off the camera.  Be prepared to use a work-around.

Do you even know HOW hard it is to find a video camera with a wireless lavalier microphone?

Nay impossible.

That’s why mine is so special.

Holy crap I love video editing.

I celebrated with ice cream.

 

 

I Miss My Rotating Header

Remember the old KeriBlog with a constantly rotating header, this one?

I miss it.  I miss making them.  Took a photo today and was all, oh I’ll make this into a… no, I don’t have that anymore.  That’s how this post came to be.

Replace the wood grain up there with these?  Hmmm.

Inside a Masonic Lodge come ON.

I’ve been making a ton of Sidebar Art lately. Go to BloggingAboutFood.com to see.

I’ll post them all together when I’m done. You can learn a lot about me from my sidebars.
