A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Fun Fact Friday! On this day in 1952, the first video recorder was demonstrated by John Mullin and Wayne Johnson in Beverly Hills, California. How would you explain YouTube to these gentlemen? Memo: Apondia@WDC to: Mr. John Mullin and Mr. Wayne Johnson Dear Sirs: We appreciated your demonstration and are grateful to all the people who aided in your demonstration by earlier research.(1951=John Ginsberg, first practical video tape recorder,or 1888:oldest surviving video recording June 29, 1888.) The internet is now recording and carrying historical information. The internet is visited by millions of people daily. It is a real place; where people gather, from many different countries; using electronic technology, that is within the reach of everyday people; without leaving their homes. They watch video, read books, play games and participate in other pass times. On the internet,Youtube is the place everyone finds short video, sound clips of anything you can think about looking up. It is an informational site. Music, art, science, dance, how to do anything, pet medicine and advice. The following film clip is a copy of a recording made in 1888. I found this clip on Youtube. Welcome to the 21st century. Apondia ![]() ![]() |
