Fruits of idleness

Went on another long bikeride yesterday and decided to try to make a video a la MTV. After all, the cell phone has VIDEO DJ technology. What this means is that you will spend a lot of time converting files to a format that the cell phone uses. Plus bad quality video and sound! Yay!

The video is a smattering of the places I traveled and a song from the CD I was listening to.

After the bikeride, I needed to assemble and add a soundtrack to the videos.

For this minute and twenty seconds, I frittered away THREE hours. I hope you're impressed. (yes, I was off yesterday)




PS: It's the last day that I have to get up at the ugly buttcrack of dawn. Woo hoo!

    Very nice video. where is our favorite comedy team? Serge could have...oh I don't know...ate some of the sandwich out of your mouth. Now that's exciting video. I see you have really nice bike paths in Montreal. If only more cities could have a way to make bikes a safe alternative to autos.

  5. Phone in one hand, sandwich in the other, how were you steering the damn bike?

    Helmet hair is unattractive but better than a cracked noggin! Glad to see you are expanding your range of video skills!

    I was wondering the same thing, Rox.

    You look so relaxed and happy!

    Thanks for your (3 hour) efforts.

  7. I wasn't on the bike when I ate the sandwich, (which was PBJ)I was in the Nature park where I took a walk and saw a Cardinal, my first here.

  8. The video was worth the 3 hours to make !

    I just viewed one of your others where you are by a bush, have to have sound off where I am so they're like silent movies :>)

  11. Thanks for sharing that sandwich! I think my cell phone does all this stuff too but I'd never have the patience to figure any of it out. I still don't know how to send a photo off it to my email and probably never will.

  12. I think you already said you were walking when you were eating the sandwich, but I did start to get worried when I saw it in the video originally. And I just don't think our human bodies are designed to get up that early in the morning (just like we're probably not designed to be eating much other than meat, fruit and nuts). I seem to remember some study where they kept teenagers from knowing what time it was and they naturally went to bed around 2am and woke up around 9am. Sounds great to me. Something about the jumping in the video always made me afraid that any second could have been your last. True Suspense.

  16. Good video! My ass would have been cracked all over the place on the ground trying to do those two things at once!

  17. You have bike paths!!! How awesome is that?!! Here, we share the road with cars... well, not really share. We engage a little game of bumping each other, see who gets pushed off the road with only room enough for one. Guess who usually wins!

    Thanks for taking us along with you! Very enjoyable... even if you didn't offer any of your sandwich to us!
