Independence Day Fireworks on the Beach – 2021 Version – Filming Tonight

For the fifth year consecutively, I will be filming tonight’s Independence Day Fireworks from the front lawn of my church viewing the beach.  Hopefully, there will be no natural fireworks in the form of rain and thunderstorms.  I had to bring my rain jacket and use it last year.  Hopefully, I will be watching them in a t-shirt.  This morning, the skies are overcast and dry.  There is a stationary front just south of the Gulf Coast region.

Happy Independence Day, U.S.A.! 

Replacements & Improvements Are Happening – Website Exclusive Update – January 26

Yesterday, my new block calendars and my bookcase packages arrived.  One of the block calendars is already up.  The bookcase will be set up later this week, perhaps tomorrow.  These changes will be part of a near future video, which is tentatively scheduled for early February.  In terms of the TV stand and new extension cords, those items may not be purchased until at least mid-February.    

New Videos from New Cell Phone Coming Soon

One month ago in mid-May, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.  I can capture 4K and 8K video.  Hopefully in the next week, I will share you my first 4K video for this YouTube channel I created eleven years ago.  A lot has changed from SD video to HD video to UHD (4K) video.  These videos will be recorded and uploaded straight to my YouTube channel.  Hence, there will be no logos or text edited within the video until I have 4K video editing software. 

That is the latest news made exclusive for this website. 

Cell Phone Screen is Cracked

One month ago, I accidentally dropped my phone onto a concrete surface.  Despite having a rigid case protector, the screen was cracked in the upper right and lower left corners.  My selfie camera is located in the upper right portion of my phone, and there is a crack through the lens.  My next video will be featuring the scope of the damages that happened last month.  This will include usage of my selfie camera that may be too damaged to take selfie pictures and video. 

Luckily, this year is a new cell phone year.  It has been 4 years since I brought my last new phone.  Later this spring, I hope to have a 5G cell phone with a 4K video camera.  If the technology changes too quickly after buying the next phone, 2022 will be here pretty quickly.

Videos For The Rest of Summer 2019 – Ponstralia Day

My recent videos have been the catalyst of ideas to film for the remainder of the season.  I did a video on silent A/Cs while the weather was still cool.  Plus, I did a time-lapse video until a train has passed by my apartment complex from both indoors and outdoors.  Finally, I showed you the longest pair of socks I have thus far that are toe sleeved and rainbow patterned. 

The rest of the summer will have a video showing the A/Cs hard at work in 40 degree Celsius (104 F) heat.  There will also be more series of time lapse videos from both inside and outside the apartment waiting on the trains to pass by.  The rainbow over-the-knee toe socks will make a re-appearance with the reactions to each of the sixteen colors plus my black light later this year.  There could be future installments with a special pair of shoes that would look great with these socks with a combination of my colored lights.  The guess of which type of shoes maybe a shocker considering this pair would be on a man’s feet.  In addition, I need to film on the beach near my apartment.  My recent version was in May 2017.  This could be the first video I might film after my birthday (Ponstralia Day – the day of this post). 

Then, I may re-introduce videos that I viewed every day for my “Quality Control on Steroids” project that I completed when I was finishing college.  However, don’t expect to see videos in a rapid fire fashion.  I will still normally post a new video about every 2-3 weeks, particularly after the 1st and 19th days of the month or in rough channel situations.  I hope these plans are executed well.

Happy Ponstralia Day!

State of the Channel, Winter 2019

This time of the year, our leaders give their “state of” address speeches.  It has been a while since I watched of “state of” address speech on TV, but I will give you a short “State of the Channel” message for this season.

You noticed that I have a tripod that goes almost as tall as me (150 cm/60”).  Now, I do not generally need a tall table and maybe a few more boxes to place a camcorder in an appropriate position on a tiny tripod.  This makes me film better time lapse videos of clocks, sun angle positions, and day transitioning into night.  Also, I will be adding royalty free music in some videos.  Hopefully, I won’t have any copyright infringement issues.  On top of that, I need to show you some footage from outside my apartment complex.  I will be filming on the beach or a nearby park later this year.  For better diversity, I will buy a new drone to capture aerial footage of the Gulf Coast and better angles of my living quarters.  Drones are not cheap.  Therefore, it could be after my second “state of the channel” that will be released this summer.  These are the types of videos I will be shooting for the remainder of this decade. 

Stay tuned to thewsnc.com for further updates in regards to CPWN on my YouTube channel.

Have a great day (or evening if it’s nighttime)!

Have To Get Through Independence Day First

I was able to capture some video when I was as young as first grade.  That was 20 years ago!

However, life is busy.  I normally work in an office for 45-50 hours a week.  Plus, the FIFA Men’s World Cup has kept me from videotaping to VHS to SD memory cards.  Now, the United States has a special holiday of their own, and it’s formally called Independence Day.  I will enjoy the rest of the day and evening with my church family.  Later this month, I will share those 20-year-old video memories with you.

Enjoy the rest of your 4th of July!
