So, I set up my camera pointing out my living room window and did a time-lapse since I haven’t done a Vlog for a little while.

Enjoy!

Since it’s getting late-ish, I thought I’d make this post quick and simple.

I thought that I’d let you all know, in a nut shell, what I do and can do. So, if you want to hire me, let me know.

That’s all, really. Check out the Hire Me page.

Now, for the rest of the night I’ll be doing some robotic/social media/programming research.

…until next time.

I did create this thing so it would be updated on a regular basis. With words, not just to show off my awesome video editing skills (sarcasm, by the way).
At the moment I’m typing this up on my iPhone, taking in my nightly ritual of sitting outside with all the lights out merely to watch the night sky unfold. It’s completely relaxing and as I’m listening to some dubstep, I remember one of the projects I wanted to undertake as an announcement of “I’m back!” although my hiatus from the blogosphere has affected it, it would seem there will be no big blog post I do for a while.
As lots of writers find, there’s not a whole lot of money in writing, especially since we’re slowly getting rid of the written word as our main medium of spreading news. For reviews, we look for stars or thumbs-up. News, we look to a video format. Weather, we see a sun, we know it’ll be a sunny day, nothing bad to expect for the day. Even in the form of status posts, we usually have 160 characters to express ourselves. On our cellphones, we send pictures or videos instead of “the view from here is amazing, I really wish you were here.”
Now, as a modern gentleman, I’m not exactly knocking what we have in the way of technology. Look at me, I am typing on an iPhone, I tweet a lot (apparently) and I post photos of where I am on brightkite. Also, I listen to club music on my iPhone more than I actually go to clubs or parties.
I suppose where I’m going with this is that by now, you’ve either stopped reading this, or you’re probably not part of the modern generation. Our generation is slowly putting itself into a dark ages of sorts. Kids use slang terms and spelling more than using proper English (I honestly don’t know about other languages, enlighten me, please). Quite honestly, I don’t feel as though the average teen could have written this much on his or her own without making multiple grammatical errors. (knowing my dad, a retired professor, he’s nodding his head by this point)
At my job, I encounter people on both ends of my mental maturity scale. One of the rangers we have a few times a month is incredibly intelligent, on the other hand, the most intelligent word I’ve heard one of my coworkers say is “brutal,” most likely to describe how intense his afternoon crap was.
As an intelligent person (yes, I’m tooting my own horn, there) I find that it’s my duty to educate the masses younger than me so that they don’t end up setting us back a few thousand years where we end up having only a certain few people who are able to read and write or having The Bible, this culture’s most sacred text, reduced down to a Facebook page or cliff notes.
I know it’s considered “snooty” or “snobbish” to, but I say if you’re smart enough, correct someone when you see something wrong.
I believe it was Rage Against the Machine who said “If ignorance is bliss, then wipe the smile from my face”

I’ve (essentially) finished redesigning specialkolin.com. Needless to say, there was a lot that was in need of being removed. I dumped all of the subdomains and simplified the site as a whole. Now, everything is here in one place.

Unfortunately to the fans of The SpecialKolin Sez Podcast, it is, and forever will be, no more. If you want to listen to me in any other podcast, head on over to the podcasts page. More importantly, check out my new podcast, simply called The Billy and Kolin Show, which I do with my good pal, Billy Hime.

Instead of making SpecialKolin.com the home for my photography business, I’ve just inserted a nice little Flickr photo gallery into the photos page. As always, I’ll keep up (or try to, at least) with the daily top photos and latest photo sets and post them all here instead of just tweeting them out.

The new SpecialKolin.com is more about me, my life, and my opinions. No more tech news, I’m not gizmodo or engadget. However, if you have a tech blog or want to start one, talk to me, and I’d be happy to write for you, I’m sure.

So, sit back, relax, watch my VLog entries, rummage through my photos, and just have a good ol’ time.
Oh, and don’t forget… You love me!
