I forgot how much I enjoy
working with video. For the past couple of weeks I've noted with some
consternation that something is happening to my power chair. I
suspect, but have very little evidence to validate, that what is
happening is my spasticity had become gotten so significant that my tone has
gotten so great that it's actually twisting my tilt mechanism on my
power chair. I have not really pursued a remedy for this problem till
today actually. If I don't take positive steps the the chair is going
to go down on me and I'm going to be in major problems. The issue is
do I go into the wheelchair shop which is a major hassle just because
the shop is not located on a bus route. I have gone there before, in
good weather, and is taking forever to get there and I really have to
travel quite a distance. The other alternative is a said the truck
over to collect the chair to do the evaluation that they either send
the chair back to me or they do the work if they have the product
they need to fix the chair. Traditionally they do not touch the chair
until they have insurance verification. So, I thought and thought and
figured I'd make a video and send it to the facility see what they
thought. I've kind of done this before but when I want to send the
video, regardless of how short I make the video, it's just way too
much data to send over normal channels. However, I remembered a
project that I was doing at one time and checked out my YouTube
account and was delighted to see that the YouTube account was still
active. I of course immediately wandered down memory lane watching
some of these that produced for five years ago. So much as happened.
So anyway I figured I could make a small video posted to my YouTube
account and then have the wheelchair technicians check out the
YouTube account and video is not to send the link.
After some finagling and
trying to find equipment that would do the work I needed to have done
I knocked off a fast video. I now have to try to find the old sales
guy who also acts as my portal to wheelchair repair and see what we
can get going. Chances are I'm still going to have to split with my
chair for a while and live in my backup chair but I suppose that is
what I would have to do.
I have about 40 videos on
YouTube may be a little bit more because I have another account on
YouTube that I cannot quite remember the name of. There was another
program I worked with at one time when I was doing a couple broadcast
a month for a couple years. Sadly I've lost almost 100 of those
podcasts. Hundred seems to match but there is a lot of them. I really
have some cute videos that I made a number of years ago. It's a shame
that these videos seem to degrade over time which means at some point
they will lose their integrity altogether but until that time there
are still available and you can go there. Go to YouTube.com and in
the search sectionn “meadowlarkmark” and this should bring my
video account. Check it out you be glad that you did ...
