-
- This really
should've been done yesterday, but I'm waiting on some
video files from the school so just to keep things
moving, I'm breaking up this "day" into two entries
while I await those files. And, well, honestly it's
certainly feels like two separate parts when you break
it all down...
-
-
- Man I hate
posting anything involving anyone else's child that
will then make the OTHER children feel bad that
they were left out. There's just no way to properly
capture every play with this rig and the problem is
even worse in the next video with all the talent show
acts. You'd honestly need multiple cameras and
terabytes among terabytes of space on memory cards -
and I'm already rocking 5 TB! So you get these
snippets that obviously favor MY kids, because,
well, duh. Obviously I wouldn't be documenting our day
if it wasn't... our day. Man I'm neurotic about this,
but I guarantee you there will be people UBER pissed
if they ever see this in a headset and then realize
they DON'T see their kid's act in this
breathtaking new format.
-
- I'm so sorry. I
wish there was a solution. But onto the point of these
entries...
-
- So yeah, we're in
the thick of it now. I mentioned "The Sporting
Years" awhile back and pretty much from now until the
end of highschool (Vienna '31, Cam '32) this is how
our weekends will be. It feels exhausting in the
moment but I do actually find myself embracing
the chaos. The "lived-in" house and the mad dash to
get kids from place to place on time... the effort to
get the good seats... the utter JOY at seeing your
kids enjoying themselves? GOODNESS. It's an absolute
honor and I cannot shake the feeling that fairly soon,
Talya and I will miss it. Vienna graduates in 7 years.
7 years ago was 2017... you know, when I was
doing Fastest Delorean?
<BLINK>
-
- Yeah time fucking
FLIES. So while I may be up to my ears in trying
to capture all of it, I think these VR180 videos may
be the most precious things I possess. In this
video in particular: watching kids this young trying
to improve each week is just... it's joyous. The
little boy who scores his first basket?
MY GOODNESS is that a core memory for that kid.
I hope I can get the video to his family
somehow. Come on VR headsets, keep on
pushin'...
-
- Alright... talent
show portion of this day up next!
