Hamlet: Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio. Wendy’s Employee: [points at nametag] Scott. Hamlet: … Wendy’s Employee: My name’s Scott, and you’ll have to leave the skull outside, sir. Store policy. Hamlet: Yorick will have a Baconator. Wendy’s Employee: I’ll have to get the manager.

In this morning’s job listings, I see a marketing gig I think I’d enjoy with my experience being put to excellent use, and… it’s an internship. I assume the intern will report to the owner’s nephew/marketing director, Asher.

I ate leftovers for breakfast so I could eat something different for lunch. Breakfast may be the most important meal blah blah blah, but I’m more awake to enjoy things at lunchtime.

Reynard: “What’s all this then?” Rice, green beans, peas, chili garlic sauce, pressure cooker, Kikkoman, and Romano/Asiago/Parm. Reynard: “And…?” Oh dang. Just a second. Reynard: “Much better. Don’t let it happen again.” #food #greenbeans #peas #cans #dinner

With Axe Body Spray’s new one-liter size, your teenage son might actually make it to Friday without using it all up. Maybe. Ok, probably not, but it’s still theoretically possible.

My scheme to see if the three beasts would be ok with Friskies wet food was met with horror, disbelief and distain. Luckily, TJ Maxx had two boxes of the fancy Fancy Feast to help me make amends. I also picked up a 12-pack of a new-to-me brand, viva la kitty, at PetSmart. We’ll see. #cats #pets

Whenever Alvin ended up back in rehab, Simon and Theodore would keep touring with guest musicians filling in. It was during these times that Simon and Theodore’s reputation as serious and versatile musicians truly grew.

Jinx has realized there are two open baskets of cat toys in the living room and has been busy redistributing them. His favorite by far so far is the Yeowww! catnip… cigar. Not a doobie or dookie. Cigar. #jinx #jinxthelynx #cats #kittens #cattoys #lynxpoint

It was a rare privilege to interview Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press that led to the information revolution. He was amused by social media but thought it paled next to a good broadsheet. #tv #news #broadcasting #reporting #print

Alas, I didn’t get the gig, but I did make this video (with help from the iMovie and YT Studio iPhone apps) and it was good practice, so I’m sharing it because I think it has a good and easy-to-digest message. Now then, where do I send the bill? *not really

The hardest part was doing the voiceover while I was driving. I had to speak much lower/slower than usual so when I later sped up the continuous shot, I would sound normal.* 12x speed was the magic number and it made the video just over 2.5 min. long, easily fitting in the required 2-4 min. window.

Then off I went! While my precariously perched iPhone camera recorded at normal speed — and in focus most of the time — I drove around Bismarck for a little over a half hour. It was still road construction season, so those sites added to the safe driving message.

I have a phone holder on the dash of my old Nissan Xterra, but not positioned so it could normally act as a dash cam. I was able to MacGyver it by balancing my iPhone on top of a phone charger (one that normally goes in the cigarette lighter socket) placed sideways on the bottom of the holder.

I chose the concept I liked best on Sunday, did some research and developed the script. I was going to do a timelapse, which is an Apple iPhone camera option, but it doesn’t offer human control over the shutter speed and just automatically compresses what you shoot down to between 20-40 seconds.

The email was sent on Wednesday afternoon, I read it on Thursday and it was due Monday by noon. Ok then! I didn’t have access to Adobe Creative Cloud (Audition and Premiere Pro) at the time, so I needed an idea that could circumvent that limitation.

Back in September, I had applied for a Regional Outreach Coordinator position with Vision Zero ND. I made it to the finalist stage and was given an assignment to make a social video that had to be 2-4 minutes long — a bit long for social, but I’m guessing that was part of the challenge.
