Last night I found these:
I, my friends, am the original Vlogger. Ok, maybe not really, considering a crazy guy in the 80's started video taping himself doing random things. But YouTube was launched in 2005, and these videos started in 2004 - so, technically, I am the shiz-nit.
I am absolutely dying to see what is on these. However, the VHS adapter we have is broken, and a new one costs $40 - the absolute cheapest I have found. So that's just super exciting. On the flip side, I can use the original camcorder to watch them. Super old school, but if that what it takes, it is what it is. Now the only challenge is getting a hold of it. It is currently in my parents possession, and to be quite honest my chances of finding a leprechaun under my bed are much better. Maybe I'm not giving my mom enough credit. We shall see.
I started filming today. I have two pretty solid ideas for videos, now it's just getting the footage I need. My equipment consists of my Windows Vista HP laptop I bought when I was 18, my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone which has been dropped more times than hot in a Snoop Dogg song, and a little hand held camcorder. Nothing wrong with any of that, if you are living in 1990. But justifying spending money on equipment that I will use a few times before this hobby of mine fizzles and dies, just isn't happening. Let's just face it, I follow thru with pretty much nothing in my life. I start, but then something else grabs my interest and OH!!.....SQUIRREL!!
Speaking of squirrels, I got some pretty awesome footage of a squirrel attempting to dig to China today. It was shot thru a window with a screen tho, so it's certainly not HD like all the cool kids today are saying. I'm tempted to remove the screens from every window in this house, just in case something cool happens outside. But the last time I did this I was scolded by my mother because 'those are expensive!' So maybe I won't.
