First vlog!

[Valiant]

Nothing too exciting, as half of it will be me bitching about my scooter shop, and the other half will be the wind:


On the other hand, I haven't spotted a lot of motovlogs from Hawaii, so I figured one might be appreciated so long as I catch some good sights on my GoPro footage, and this should have me going through the lovelier parts of Waikiki.

I know the wind noise is bad, but I just put in an order for a microphone and skeleton housing, so that should be better in the future, and I might redo this one as well.

I didn't have 37 minutes to watch, so I "skimmed" some of it. Nice palm trees. We don't have those where I live.

[Valiant]

The nice scenery, plus the motovlogging makes it very therapeutic in a way, at least for me .

[ScooteringAbout]

Agreed, done my fair share although I've not yet hooked up a mike.

Civil partnership becons....?

Civil partnership becons....?

The grammer police in me wants to ask if you meant to say "beckons" or "beacons"? Neither one of which makes much sense to me .

Where did it go?

Grammer?

[Valiant]

Where did it go?

I've since removed it as I will be redoing with a microphone, plus I plan to remove any specific references to the shop and owner.

My brother seems quite convinced that I ought to be worried about being assassinated for calling the police, and that's not a joke .

Second one(aka The Sound of My Breathing):


I've ordered a different microphone, which will hopefully address the space and breathing noise issues.

The v2 of my first vlog will be uploaded later in the week(still long).


I'm deciding on whether or not to purchase Adobe Premier Pro for my Mac in order to make editing quicker and easier. It's $240 for a yearly subscription, and $800 for a permanent license.

[Valiant]

Scooter shop redo:


Got a microphone, didn't quite work out. Will need to see how my other one does.

Yes, it's an hour long. I ranted quite a bit, plus I don't have proper editing software. I've been looking at Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac, just not sure I want to commit that much money for a temporary license, or $800 for a permanent one.

Fake Interview Part 1:

I was offered a job opportunity by a coworker. Didn't tell me the company name, didn't tell me what position it was for, when I asked what the job entails, she said it was mostly office work. When I went down there, it had all the signs of a pyramid scheme.

When I did my research at home at the usual places(BBB, Glassdoor, Indeed, Consumer Affairs, Sequence Inc), I found out it was indeed a pyramid scheme. A pity. I reported her ass to HR, consulted HPD(who naturally couldn't do anything), am looking into Lifelock, and I bought pepper spray in case this coworker or her friends decide to "convince" me at home. I was smart enough not to sign any documents or leave any referrals, but dumb enough to put my actual address down.

Company's name(which I only found out at the little "group therapy" session) is called Primerica. I'd look that one up.

[Valiant]

The resemblance to my coworker is uncanny, though I believe our girl is older.


Almost bumped into a car that ignored all the stop signs on the way out.
