Hello all, I am about to attempt the hardest, most challenging and most complex written piece in my existence. Yes, it's going to be even harder than composing that intricate essay about the complexities of authoritarian versus facilitating approaches in the context of 21st century educational leadership. It's even going to be harder than writing that poem for my wedding speech. But I must do it. It has to be done. It will be done. Quite a while ago I started riding motorcycles. I was in my mid 20s and up until that point in my life, I had never ridden. My mum, as beautiful and wonderful that she is, would never let me ride a bike while I was little (you know, seventeen-ish little) and if she had her way today, she'd stop me in a second. But she doesn't, because that's how awesome she is. Against the wishes of everyone around me, it would have appeared that one day I just decided to ride and that was that. But this is not so. As I was growing up, sneakily and ...
It was a beautiful Sunday morning when I woke up for my first Brissie to Bay 100km ride. In fact it wasn't beautiful at all as at 4am it was still pitch black outside, it was hard to see and I couldn't tell what sort of a day it was going to be. It felt good anyway. I had been a good boy. I went to bed early. 'It will help' I said to myself; a rested body is a fit body. And being the positive peppy person that I am, I filled my brain with a lot of positive get-me-through-the-day thoughts. Like "It's going to be eeeeasy" and "It's going to be awesome fun" and "The weather forecast was for a very nice day". At least that last one turned out to be absolutely spot on, as the 2015 edition of the race was held in near perfect conditions, the sort of day Brisbane is famous for. Preparations were good, except for the training. Anyway, the alarm bell had gone off and I was up and going. Kissed my wife goodbye, she said some semi-reas...
So I've recently decided to continue my reviewing things again on YouTube, as well as some other random videos that takes my fancy. I'm aiming for one video per day, but I doubt I will be able to keep it up. Anyway, I'm giving it a go. So my second video back is about my Samsung Galaxy Tab A, the 9.7 inch one with the S Pen. Here it is: I uploaded it last night, put it on Facebook. Woke up this morning and KAPOOW! No views. Yep, not one single view. So I'm going to just track what happens, change a few things perhaps, play with tags etc. and see if I can learn a thing or two. So a few points: - It's just a basic video, no editing, second take. Decided not to 'waste time' editing out the gaps, waffle and"uuum's" but I think it turned out OK. - The thumbnail is basically what you see on the video, totally relevant but not 'eye-grabbingly delicious'. - I's a bit lengthy. - The focus was off for quite a bit of th...
