Undeniable proof I'm an idiot:

For the past month, or so, I've been vlogging. Trying to find my "voice" I've been carrying my action cam with me while out walking the dogs. Walking and talking, as it were. I have hours of footage of nothing in particular that I haven't loaded anywhere because it's really really boring.

Well, this morning I took the camera out, walked and talked, then came in and set the camera aside. Note: when I grabbed the camera this morning it was from the charger.

A few hours later I go out only to turn the camera on and have it tell me the battery is dead, or nearly so. Apparently I never turned it off but rather let it go to 'sleep' mode.

Okay, so I stuff it in my pocket and fire up my cell phone, open the camera app and switch it to video so I can record that way.

Problem solved. For nearly an hour I walk and talk about a variety of subjects, one usually leading into another, just letting my mind go where it wants to go. I arrive back home and say "goodbye" to the camera and ... apparently I never actually hit record. I walked and talked for an hour without recording a single second.

But hey, look, there's a sunset from last week:

Upload it! Let your audience decide if it's boring or not.

Ha! The number of times I've filmed something only to discover later that all I've done is take a photograph is quite astonishing...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
