T0: Family and Friends ~ Using It Till We Be Losing It

 Aug 26, 2024

Aug 26, 2024   Back in the day    Hi, Using it till we lose it, this includes my blog which I am currently recycling.   Long ago, this all started as a way to annoy those who needed annoying and helping those who needed help.   Over the years things have changed. For almost a decade, I tried to use my images as the focal point. I did post some award-winning shots, but my blog never really took off.   Then, horror f horrors, my camera started to fall apart. Alright, the obvious workaround was to use the image creator newly bundled with Edge. I found that I could  create some powerful images. I also found that with less time spent editing my images, I had more time for writing and my blog began to fly.  This soaring lasted until the powers that be cracked down on free thought. First in Hong Kong and then in Singapore.   Of late, (fitting in with the use and reuse theory) I have started to use my cellphone as a video recorder.  The quality has seriously surprised me. I’m not sure, but my blog just might be transforming into a vlog?  M’Lady is strongly suggesting that if I do become a vlogger, that selfies do not become a thing. She’s probably right.   One unforeseen benefit to vlogging more, and photo editing less, is that I use Sway as a way to package my videos into my vlog. For those familiar with Sway, it is a Microsoft platform intended for interoffice sharing of material. Apparently Sway is also good for putting out a vlog. With Blogger.com, I’m averaging 8 hits per post. With Sway, it is over 100 per post.   It just might be a fluke. Then again… Still and all, this be long enough.   Enjoy the video and stay safe,   B
Back in the day

Hi, Using it till we lose it, this includes my blog which I am currently recycling.

Long ago, this all started as a way to annoy those who needed annoying and helping those who needed help. 

Over the years things have changed. For almost a decade, I tried to use my images as the focal point. I did post some award-winning shots, but my blog never really took off. 

Then, horror f horrors, my camera started to fall apart. Alright, the obvious workaround was to use the image creator newly bundled with Edge. I found that I could  create some powerful images. I also found that with less time spent editing my images, I had more time for writing and my blog began to fly.

This soaring lasted until the powers that be cracked down on free thought. First in Hong Kong and then in Singapore. 

Of late, (fitting in with the use and reuse theory) I have started to use my cellphone as a video recorder.  The quality has seriously surprised me. I’m not sure, but my blog just might be transforming into a vlog?  M’Lady is strongly suggesting that if I do become a vlogger, that selfies do not become a thing. She’s probably right. 

One unforeseen benefit to vlogging more, and photo editing less, is that I use Sway as a way to package my videos into my vlog. For those unfamiliar with Sway, it is a Microsoft platform intended for interoffice sharing of material. Apparently Sway is also good for putting out a vlog.

It just might be a fluke. Then again… Still and all, this be long enough. 

Enjoy the video and stay safe,
