You Are Going To Take A Trip To The Seaside

You Are Going To Take A Trip To The Seaside

I look at this one and think, well, duh, we go to the Cape every summer and actually will probably start going soon to get the house ready. But I’ve been thinking about going to get my kayak soon so that I can go out on the weekends with my friend Keith from Ten Mile River Watershed Council. I want to help do some river clean ups and film some Wired Kayaker videos.

Wired Kayaker?

For a while I had a blog called The Wired Kayaker. I would go on my kayak and make videos and post them, you can see all 6 of them by clicking on them on the sidebar. I decided to get rid of that blog and incorporate those posts into this blog. You can see all of those posts by looking through the Wired Kayaker category. I noticed that I hadn’t been updating that blog and that kayaking was pretty seasonal so in the winter I lost interest because I wasn’t on the water. I also figure that I shouldn’t separate that part of me to a different blog. This is the blog that people read to see what is going on with me and my kayak adventures certainly are things that go on with me.

This Fortune Made Me Think of My Xacti

I made my 1st Wired Kayaker video (podcast) using my Sanyo Xacti C4. This was not a waterproof camera like my Sanyo Xacti EC1. You’ll be hearing more about Sanyo Xacti these days because Sanyo/Fisher contracted some pretty big name YouTube personalities and gave them some of the new cameras. These are HD still/video cameras that are waterproof. These would be perfect cameras for my Wired Kayaker videos (podcasts). I wonder if Sanyo would like to sponsor the podcast?

Here are the new Sanyo Models.

Blogging, Photo-A-Day

Photo-A-Day #1369

The title may refer to the photo but it doesn’t, it refers to me. I’ve been back in the office after a rather disjointed, lengthy and relaxing time at home. I have one time consuming project that I am working on right now, I am enjoying it but it takes time and concentration. It is a bit of graphic work that I really like to do. I will have to do a blog post about the technique I am using to create these images. The problem is that I have over 180 more to do and each takes about 10 minutes to get it right. That wouldn’t be so bad except that on top of that I have meetings to get up to speed in the new group and I have a large project that was assigned to me that is rather high profile. All of my time management and creative juices better be topped off to make this project a success.

I’m also not complaining, I’m feeling challenged and I’m excited, I just want to make sure I can balance everything and a good job. I do have some great online mentors though like Ted Murphy, Chris Brogan (By the way yesterday my online world and work world collided when I was referred to a site to see a Chris Brogan presentation on how to create an effective presentation, crazy) and Ed Gerety.

On the blogging front I have been trying to juggle family time with a decrease of blogging time but an increase in trying to maintain each blog. I am trying to update at least once a week on all the blogs. Three of them are updated daily. This one of course, Google is Not God because it gets all my utterli mobile posts automatically and 15 Minutes A Day because of my experiment in trying to learn Chinese. The two that are suffering are Read To Me, Dad and The Wired Kayaker. Those I have to make sure to post to each week, something to keep it interesting. Also I am verbose, I can’t just write something short and sweet. My own fault.
