Ready for Footage Recorded from VHS Camcorders?

When I was in late elementary through middle school, my dad and I used a VHS camcorder for family video.  That was the best technology at the time.  Plus, there were some memories that I wish could share with you.

Now, you will be able to see my life in my much younger years.  I am re-filming these old videos to my SD card camcorders that I purchased in the last six years.  These videos will be coming soon to CPWN after Ponstralia Day (my birthday).

Enjoy the remaining days of June!

How My “Time to Shine” Title Is Decided 2018

Life is almost always shining because we do things that benefit humanity.  This statement holds true for me since I make weather segments, posts on social media, and sometimes helping others in need.  However, when there is a period of time doing whatever I want to do, even on a day in which I had to be at work, then it is the title of my “Time to Shine”.

This title can be decided by reaching the seasonal meter exceeding 80% anytime, except in personal circumstances.  The seasonal meter is a measure of the quality of my personal schedule.  The higher seasonal meter levels mean fewer major tasks that could prevent me from going to places, hanging out with people on my own time, and choose my entertainment.  By the way, the personal circumstances will not be disclosed unless if necessary.

How is “Time to Shine” title maintained?

To remain “shining”, the seasonal meter needs to stay above 70%.

Once the levels drop under 70%, I would need to spend multiple days (or weeks) doing the tasks that caused the major drop in seasonal meter levels and kill the title of “Time to Shine”.

Then, let’s talk about duration categories of the title.

Event: Under 14 days (sub-fortnight)

Under two weeks is not considered a season at all.  This is a relatively, short period of time to have the title.

Minor Season: 14-34 days (5 weeks >title zone >2 weeks)

In my opinion, it is still too short to be a general season where it is normally about one month, but it is long enough to not treat it as an event.  Also, I am separating the categories on a weekly basis.

Major Season: At least 35 days (>5 weeks)

This category represents titles that can encompass multiple months and multiple seasons.  For instance, the title could start in April (spring) and end in December (the following winter).

These are the rules and regulations of my personal title of “Time to Shine”.

More Light Videos Coming Soon

I normally post videos when I feel like doing so. Thus, there are long gaps between uploads.

I will be posting more videos about the new remote controlled lights in my apartment soon. In fact, I recently received two light bulbs that are made for my ceiling fans. First, I will show you the complete ensemble. Secondly, I will show you the revised ceiling fan in my bedroom. These are the next two videos that I am planning on doing.

Have a great weekend!

Just Like A Webcam 2 Plus Next Weather Segment Update

I said on January 26 that I was going to do a short weather report within the next two weeks. It has been nearly a month later, and there is still no new weather report. I have been very busy with other important tasks, such as getting ready for my broadcasters invite career fair in Carmel, Indiana this weekend. My next weather report is coming soon! Until then, I am uploading a series of new quality control videos, including this one. Here is the video below.

I am doing my next class of quality control videos until I am a broadcaster. This was the scene at 12:30 pm in Monticello, Indiana on February 15, 2017.

Finally, A New Weather Segment?!

It has been over a year since I last executed a three minute weather segment.  These videos take all day to forecast, set-up, record, tear down, edit, upload, and share.  Almost every day since December 2015, I wanted to spend doing tasks that matter more to me, and full weather segments are not the best of options.  That is true, until sometime within the next 2 weeks.  I need to use the green screen to promote my new “Ponstralia”.  However, I want to create a 60-90 second weather update to get used to doing green screen videos properly.  Therefore, I will be doing a short, weather segment soon.  Stay tuned for a brief weather forecast.

Coming Soon, Ponstralia and Independence Day at Indiana Beach

In a few months, Waustralia will change its name to Ponstralia. Details will be discussed later this month.

Today is Independence Day in the United States of America, and I will need to leave for a fireworks show shortly. This is the first time in two years that I will attend a public show, and it will be at the exact place as it was in the last several years. That place is Indiana Beach. Will the video be posted to YouTube and thewsnc.com? The answer will be realized soon.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday, America!

A Preview of What I Will Post Next

I have just posted all video to YouTube from Florida ’16. I will have the pictures from the trip uploaded to Facebook sometime this week, hopefully by the end of tonight.

After that, I will post my first Hoosier video since the trip at some point this week. My schedules have really started to clear up to do video for fun now that my birthday and my vacation is behind me. However, I have the daunting task of posting all pictures and video from my birthday, better known to me as ‘Waustralia Day’, to Facebook, but it is only three days compared to two weeks.

Widespread severe weather is not expected this week in Monticello, Indiana. However, there could be a possible severe storm tomorrow as a cold front passes late Monday into Tuesday as temperatures drop from 93F (33C) on Monday to 86F (30C) with lower dew points on Tuesday. Therefore, my schedule should not be impacted due to weather.

Life Is Becoming Different

My life will soon change.  I have started to apply for a few broadcasting positions.  Therefore, my changes within this site and my YouTube channel will be affected soon because of regulations on the contract.  Here is a recap of the changes when I am hired.  I will at the minimum be unable to post weather related videos.  Furthermore, I may not be allowed to post videos in general unto my private YouTube channel.  On this website, the same thing may happen.  Having a YouTube channel and a website is a warm up to post videos and blog posts professionally.  Though my private channel and website days may be coming to a close, those days will continue into my broadcasting career.  Please, stay tuned.
