In general, I think creative endeavors should be left to Humans, while the tedious and menial is the right place for machines.

But that disco dancing Gorn!

I thought I was over sleeping and I was OK with it. I turned my head and saw 9:30am on the alarm clock. I figured I should get up. I take my phone to check the weather before getting outta bed, and realize it's only 8:30am. I stayed in bed...

Back after microSD card woes with salvaged footage! Join me on my NIU NQi GTS for a 13-minute ride on Notre-Dame East, Montreal. First half features chill music with road sounds; second half is pure sound. Soak in fall colours and wind therapy!

Still trying to repair my microSD cards and salvage footage, and because it's pouring rain today, I figure I'd share last year's Halloween ride, where I tried giving candy to strangers.

Thanks. I should be able to chkdsk the cards once I get access to a microSD reader. What I really regret is being unable to share the fall colours in the residential streets' trees that cover the entire roads. Photogenic stuff!
*bit = both (damn phone keyboards)
I've been having a lot of trouble with bit microSD cards, and I end up with no footage for a new video. 😟 I'll try to fix things so I can at least have a last video out before the 2025 riding season ends, which is pretty darn soon! 🤞

Cruise along Montreal’s northern shore on Gouin East with this 23-minute pure sound #bikelife vlog! No music, no talking—just the hum of my NIU NQi GTS and stunning autumn colors in nature.

Testing the Insta360 X4’s microphone! Enjoy a 30-minute pure sound ride through Montreal, followed by thoughts on improving my camera mount setup (those hinges need work!).

(I’m also honing my dual-camera editing skills.)

I might as well share links to things I post on the Rider's Forum. Gotta make sure those that registered come back, and maybe enough "spamming" will get others to sign up! LOL!

Here's my hatred of NIU's tailbox, vs the sturdier one I got off Amazon.

Trying out the Insta360 X4 for the first time on my NIU NQi GTS in this #bikelife vlog! I play with multiple camera angles, share unboxing mishaps. Ends with multi-angle editing to HiLau’s “Rolling.” Enjoy the ride!

Editing two video layers simultaneously to produce a final cut with multiple viewing angles is NOT an easy task! But I did it! It'll be public on my channel tomorrow!

Well, there will be no Insta360 X4 unboxing video. Everything was filmed at a bad angle, all you see is my crotch... 🤦‍♂️

A Discord member posted this, and it just had to be shared.. LoL!! It's funny because it's true. 😂
