Hakkakukei Nunchaku Episode 6 - Bonus

Here's the bonus footage promised:

It's a Cakewalk!

Actually, I'm demonstrating the fancy ringtones I have loaded on my cell phone with the aid of Cakewalk's audio production software Sonar 6.

Ernie's 5 Facts - Tag Game

Them YouTubers keep tagging me to say "5" of this or "5" of that...



This was a good exercise in organization and optimizing production and post-production time.

What's Bugging Wilson?

When I get really bored looking at my own blog and YouTube channel, I'll randomly enter in search words or I'll find a video (but not watch it) and click on related videos listed in the side bar.

I don't know how I arrived at YoolerTV. It's a Chinese YouTube channel that usually won't end up on an American/English search. Yet, here it is:



I have no idea what the girl is saying, or why Wilson the cat is so annoyed. The rest of YoolerTV seems to be a bit pervy. But, as an audio technician, I think those canned sound effects in the background are "corny cool!"

Hakkakukei Nunchaku Episode 5

This episode brings my first "How to Make Nunchaku" series to a close. But, it's not completely over. I've promised my YouTube viewers a demonstration of nunchaku techniques using the nunchaku I built from scratch.

I Punched a Cop - Parody

I'm just a silly magnet. Here, I sing a parody of Katy Perry's song I Kissed a Girl.



I needed a break from working on nunchaku videos.

Hakkakukei Nunchaku Episode 4

Here's the fourth installment of my "How to Make Nunchaku" series. [Almost done!]

I Hope I Don't Become Too Fame-Ass

My YouTube following(?) is growing steady, and my tutorial video library is too.

Hakkakukei Nunchaku Episode 3

Here's the third installment of my "How to Make Nunchaku" series.

Hybrid Shmybrid!

Here is the USA, we have very big cars. Even our "economy" cars are bigger than economy cars found in Asia and Europe. Why? The American diet has made us huge. I've done my part (and continue to do so) by lowering my body weight. I used to be as heavy as 243 lbs. I'm now 217 lbs. I feel that I can drop another 20 to 30 lbs. in another year or so.

Back to cars: We Americans need to do more to reduce our carbon emissions (make our carbon footprint smaller). Reducing our tendencies to be obese; using more efficient light bulbs; building tighter homes; cleaner and safer energy generation/collecting; AND making cars that produce less pollution.

I thought about hybrid vehicles. Then, I discovered that the auto manufacturers have no plans on how to dispose of the hybrid batteries once the cars reach the end of their service lives. They are so new that disposal sites do not have a way to process or contain them. That led me to think that we need to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines until we have a way of applying solar, flywheel, or some other imaginative energy storage solution not yet available.

We're already seeing Smart cars being brought over from Europe here on American streets. People giggle and point when they see them. I think "cool!" Can they be made even smaller?

Then I found this:



The Chinese are notorious for producing counterfeit products; usually jewelry, fashion clothing, electronics, and software. This inventive guy in Shanghai built this car from planks of wood tied together with wire and pieces from the farm yard. It even has a headlight! Somehow, though, I don't think this will pass as a Prius. All I can say is...I WANT ONE! I'll be the envy of all the local Green warriors.
