It’s time to do an update that is strictly Ipod related. Yes Ipod. I have one and people should know that it is, perchance, one of those electronic items that has gone from being a passive companion to being a relatively active companion almost everywhere I go. That is to say, I generally refuse to leave the house without making sure I have my phone in my pocket, or on me somewhere, and now I find that I am beginning to think along the lines of newer headphones that are better fit to ride with me and the Ipod as I head places. I like the pair I am currently using, with non-snare or snag wires and over ear design, but the truth is they don’t seem to fit the idea of the Ipod. With that said, neither do the earbuds that came with the Ipod (disgusting white things that they are). So, I am passively out looking for earphones that will fit what I want and will be portable enough to tote with me.
The cool thing about the whole Ipod revolution is the movement toward video blogs, podcasting, or vloging in general (blog = web log; vlog = video web log). It has caused a stir inside of me, a want to get the equipment so I can start some kind of a podcast/vlog of my own. I think that would be fun. Granted, I am not the first with this idea, nor will I be riding a wave that hasn’t already broken against the shore, but at the same time, I think it is still a cool concept to, probably once a week, add video to the website. We did pictures a week or so ago. Not that I’ve uploaded anything I can use as tags for the kinds of entry’s I am doing, but that will happen in time as I continue to wander, take pictures, get them developed, draw, create, and eventually find what I want to have the look of the site be. Sure, I am not skilled enough at programming and manipulation of code to get exactly what I want, but that too will come in time as things change and I am able to focus on the outlay rather than merely on what is happening around me. When, if, I get to the whole video blogging thing it may also engender some other changes in the way I do things, where data is stored; and on top of that I have no immediate direction for what I want the outlay to be.
StandingWater Creations was meant to be a business portal. It turned into me reviewing everything. And has become more of a personal forum to express ideas and opinions, I think, about a wide variety of things, more or less focusing on my life as I try to go back to school and get a degree. Once some areas of my life solidify, that may change to cover career opportunities and the effect of the changes that are currently taking place. The video blog may be a part of that. As I was laying in bed reading, I was thinking that it is possible to do screen caps of movement and in truth, I could create a partial vlog on doing searches online. I’m actually pretty (read extremely) good at that and think I could add to the blogosphere and vlogosphere in that area. Of course, I could also take on the persona of a petulant and melancholy teenager and vlog about that. Who really knows? Things will happen when and how they will, but as things change I am sure I will keep people abreast of those changes and will have a pretty good time exploring how that should be done.
