About 9 months late...

When I was in New Zealand last summer (did I mention that I had been???), I took some short film clips using the rudimentary video function of my digital camera. I tried to upload them to the NZ Blog at the time but the technology was having none of it, so no-one got to see them.

Well, now there is You Tube! There may have even been You Tube then, too, but I hadn't got around to how it worked... Well, now I have, so here are two short clips from New Zealand last year. The Maori Experience and the The Bloody Hell That's A Long Way Down Skipper's Canyon Experience...



A much more interesting use of You Tube, as Andy pointed out to me in email, is the ability to scavenge other people's videos and forcibly remind others of them. Most particularly, very bad 80s pop music, such as this...



Oh yes, it's the slow motion doves, the billowing curtains at the open window of the moonlit country mansion, the inexplicable martial arts dancers, the back-combed, backlit hair, the strange alien people with light up eyes. Enjoy....

  1. Entertained by lots of the new Taylor techniques for blogging will be making various poor attempts to reproduce them in future Chappell blogs. A bit distressed when I started Bonnie Tyler going, navigated away and then had trouble going back to turn her off.
    I will however not be attempting to replace power packs in the back of my computer. Anything with more wires than a tardis should be left to time lords and electricians
