YouTube Introduction

Here are my thoughts concerning the YouTube introduction we were asked to do.  First, my drawl gets worse and worse every year.  People used to think I was from the North because I didn't have an accent, but now there's no mistaking that I'm an NC native.

Secondly, uploading to YouTube was simple.  Google has spent the last few weeks streamlining a lot of their services and YouTube is obviously one of them.  After signing in I was just a few click away from an uploaded video.  They also do a good job with their privacy settings.  I don't know that I want my students to see every family movie I may put online.

I used a Aiptek HD Flip cam ripoff because they were so much cheaper a few years ago.  I was happy with both the sound and video quality, especially because the camera was only $50.

Oh, and I also need to shave.

I have an aiptek somewhere- was HD with an audio jack in- very nice. Great job on this, esp. for a first go.
