I bought the GoPro camera without ever having used it before. Then on my trip I used it without knowing what sort of video the images it was taking would make. I could view the images, but until I got to Denver, I did not have the ability to put them together as a video. Now that I have completed the trip and completed making the daily videos, what did I learn? Continue reading GoPro Camera and making time lapse videos

 Foggy morning in Chanute, KS When I woke up at 06:30, the fog was thick. I couldn’t see more than 100 feet. I could hear the cars and trucks on the highway a hundred yards away but couldn’t see anything not even headlights. I was going to have to wait for it to clear. I won’t ride if cars can’t see me and I can’t see them. Eating breakfast and packing up, the fog was not clearing. I managed to cut my iphone charger cord with the cover for the RV hookup electrical box. Luckily, across the street was a Walmart.

(The radio function doesn’t work without the headphone connected — the headphones are the antenna.)

Luckily, the Chinese, being very good at this sort of thing, have found a way around it. I bought a new SIM card tray for 150 RMB ($22) from some guy working out of his apartment. Like many apartment buildings in Beijing, the paint was falling off the walls, not too clean, the lights in the halls were broken, and half the elevators didn’t work. Other parts of the world that would be somewhat sketchy and I might be hesitant venturing in, but in China, that is par for the course. Our office secretary had bought one of the same things from these guys so if she could get out of there alive, I thought I could as well. Continue reading All Around Electronic Device |
