Videos

Strict landscape only rule.

This page is a work in progress, but some content is available.

Here's a sampling of notable videos from my YouTube channel. I don't often upload there, but when I do it's either camera footage, random technology videos or hilarious edits.

A Trip to Wilson Library

Recorded on a PowerShot A530 camera, this is 20ish minutes of footage investigating a quiet campus library during the summer session with a slideshow at the end.

At 115 views as of writing this is probably my most popular video.

Also, if you're more fond of it with music..

A Campus Walkabout

When I first got to college, I ran around with the flea market cameras I'd acquired that summer, a Nikon Coolpix S6300 and an HP Photosmart M517, taking pictures and filming a ton of the locales.

Technically, this bleeds more into Photography territory as it's a slideshow- but it's meant to be a time capsule of the gasp of time before the real work would start.

It's really fun!

Featured Music

Nujabes Maple Medley - Sabyu
A really good tribute to Nujabes, whose work probably inadvertently started that whole "chillhop lo-fi hip hop beats to study to" genre on YouTube. He knew how to take a short phrase and make it near hypnotic (given how much I've listened to "Aruarian Dance" writing papers?) and Sabyu's arrangements bring them into harmony.
JJ's House - Alistair Lindsay / Frontier
Some classic RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 dance music.

oops installing windows xp
I streamed a Windows XP install (and updates, by Legacy Update) on an early 2000s Gateway laptop on Twitch. In lieu of a capture setup I just used a Logitech webcam faced towards the laptop display. My friends watching had a very good time.

For informational value, this video does include installing drivers with Snappy Driver Installer Origin and updating with Legacy Update. On the laptop.. I still can't get any audio out of it for some reason.
