Now With Video! (Maybe.)
Test post of Blogger's newish "Add video" feature. This is just raw footage of a short walk up the side street near our place, from Place Jacobins... passing a Lyonnaise bouchon, a reputedly-good Chinese restaurant we haven't bothered trying, and a local dive bar with sidewalk tables, before turning onto Rue de la Republique.
Lemme know how this works out on your end (Dad, you probably don't want to try this over dial-up).

John,
This is wonderful..but you've got sound on this thing..I could hear your footsteps! All we need now is narration. I love reading your blog..reminds me that Apex isn't the center of the Universe..it's merely the "Peak of Good Living".

That's very nice! I had my secret agent music on, so, with the footsteps and the foreign location, had a very cool vibe.

My compliments to your foley artist. The foot steps were very convincing.
(This is one of those posts where everyone comments on the least important aspect of what you were trying to show.)

Of *course* you can hear my footsteps... that was intentional. The idea is to put you in the place, so you can see and hear, as if you the viewer were actually walking back from the marché on a Sunday morning.
I haven't generally put myself in the photos I've taken, and the same principle applies here with video-- though I may mess around with voiceover in the future.
I'm a little disappointed in the quality of video that results from Blogger's compression/upload process... it ends up looking like cameraphone quality. Oh well, better than nothing.
