Summertime's Here

Well at least in the view of School students. School here finished at noon today, my eldest nephew is now officially finished with Primary School as he begins High School in August when School reconvenes.

My brother heads off to France with his family to his holiday home on Saturday (30th June) and doesn't return until August 9th. All right for some I guess!!

Muck up

Well after a big f**k up with Yodel my parcel was delivered around 5pm. So I now have a Samsung E10 which I am looking forward to putting through it's paces.

The Samsung E10, or memory cam as they call it, is a HD pocket camcorder (2010 release) which has a swivel lens on the same idea as the Sony Webbie and first gen. Bloggie had. Only instead of the whole top bar swivelling to swivel the lens the Samsung one looks less novelty/clunky, it's like a small ball bearing that the lens swivels around on. Looks more svelte and classy than the Sony swivel lens. More adult than teenager type I guess I'm trying to say. Like the adult swivel lens pocket camcorder instead of the teenager/young adult that the Bloggie/Webbie swivel cams seemed aimed at.

The Beginning

This post is about the beginning of my journey towards making vlogs. Which in and of itself was unintentional.

Last year my health and consequently my disability degenerated and I became unable to keep typing/writing up blog posts as I had previously. I also began to have serious memory/cognitive problems as well so I began to rely on technology I already owned to help me remember and do day to day tasks.

The main parts were using my iPod to set off alarms during the day to remind me to check I had taken my medications and the other was use the voice memos application to make lists/remind of what I needed to do. This grew into making audio diaries for myself.

Also ...

To add to my original (first) post said this is the blog for cataloguing my vlogs (videos) which I choose to share online via YouTube.

Also I will be adding posts - could be text as well as video depending on my mood/health at the time of posting - about the gadgets and/or software I use to create my videos and how I find them.
