I have been thinking a lot about what I would like to write before I leave Earth. I don’t plan to leave anytime soon but I sometimes think it would be a shame not to sound as clear as I am capable of sounding before I go. I have written a great deal of text that may not be very clear to anyone that would read it. This was done on my travels in a journal mostly between 2002 and 2008. I wrote a bit before 2002 and not so much after 2008 but it all goes together. It all has a place. When I wasn’t writing I was definitely photographing damn near everything. People think it is always best to spend time taking photos of people you know. Well, I found it hard to not have video run 24 x 7 in my life. I never used video because of the resource limitations of my time but I would have if I could have gotten away with it. A lot of people are starting to look at continually on cameras or wearable still image shooters. This interest will continue to grow. I am pretty excited about all of it and it would have been a delight to train my favorite AI as it processed this content related to my life.
I looked at open source animation software tonight for the fun of it. I also looked at voice generator websites where you could paste in a paragraph and it would generate a spoken transcription. I am pretty sure my operating system could do this using “Accessibility” but I just wanted to see what the net could offer. I doubt I will use any of that stuff. I want to narrate videos but I don’t think I will use computer generated voice or corny little characters.
I watched the Wintergatan video about the unboxing of their old marble machine in France. ( https://youtu.be/vIrX81SVwnQ ) I have a few things to say about their endeavor but I will have to get into that another time.
