Another way in which Marty has made me out to be a liar happened within the last couple of weeks. He recently asked me about reports that I may be doing more video editing projects at work. I was pretty excited a few months ago to learn that this would be happening, but the opportunities dwindled of late. The regular video work that we were supposed to be doing has been backburnered.

Until late last week, that is. I was asked to go all Ken Burns on some photos from a recent event and I've been teaching myself how to do that in Adobe Premiere. Given the short turnaround window, I haven't had much chance to learn it well but I'm trying. And it's done! I wish I could share the finished result but it's very work oriented and I cannot do that. Lots of permissions involved and whatnot. But I like how it turned out.

Audible
You remember my Audible poll a few weeks ago? It has now closed and I did use the results to guide my purchasing. The audiobook with the most votes was Joe Schreiber's Star Wars: Maul so I nabbed it with one of my credits. However, Kevin Spencer suggested an unlisted title that, the more I read the synopsis and listener reviews, the more I liked the sound of it, so I used my final free credit on it. That was Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind. After I finish A Dance With Dragons, I will tackle Maul and then Wind.

App-able
Yesterday, three of my photos on Flickr were liked (Loved? It is a heart, after all.) by a user called "Project Weather." Interesting. So I looked into it and discovered that it was a Yahoo property. As a big fan of the Yahoo Weather app, I looked into the account and discovered they had been making an album of photos of Chicagoland at various seasons. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the Yahoo Weather app, but the welcome screen tries to pick a photo taken by Flickr users that is local to you based on GPS location. Here's a sample screen...

I decided to friend them. They, in turn, invited me to join the Project Weather group and submit the three photos they liked. So it's entirely possible that we might see some of my photos in the app or on their desktop weather site. If you're in the Naperville area, keep an eye out this winter. Send me a screen cap if you see one of them. My username is kapgar.

BTW, here are the three photos they zeroed in on...

Watchable
For anyone wondering, I have still not seen Guardians of the Galaxy. But I've also not seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier and it took many months for me to see The Dark Knight Rises and a little more than a year to see Star Trek Into Darkness.

I'm a bad geek.

I did see Godzilla in theaters, though. Does that earn me back some geek cred points?

I bid thee a fond farewell from this non-non-Snippet Wednesday.
