TJ Bike

10:16am JST Wednesday 06 April 2005

I'll go ride TJ Bike to get some DVDs to burn my mp3s and images. Plus Hitomi wants to burn some stuff to CD.

5:14pm JST Wednesday 06 April 2005

Rode TJ Bike to PC Depot and bought some DVD-R and CD-R (10 each) and tried to figure out how to burn files onto the DVDs, but iDVD is nothing like iTunes nor Finder for burning. I just want to archive these files on the DVD. Maybe it will work if I tell it to open Finder when a new DVD is inserted. That way I may have a better chance of having a disc icon show up onto which I can dump the files.

Took a bit of a nap and then rode TJ Bike out to Shinagawa, where I am now. I recorded a bit of my trip (out to Tsunashima kaido) and then a bit walking around Shinagawa station, but nothing of the ride in between where I squeezed between cars on the road and zipped down hills with traffic. I definitely want to get a video camera mounted on my helmet or something and then a microphone with foam so I can talk. And a remote so I can turn on and off the recordeing. I wonder what kind of power the external camera would need. Hmmmm.

I was just thinking about the money I spent on tent and sleeping bag, but having used them yet. maybe this Friday night I'll go sleep by a river somewhere. I chose Friday because that way Hitomi could come with me. I wonder why I seem to be hesitant to do it alone.

Jen brings up a good point; how will I store all my videos? Just on the way here I recorded like 5 gigs worth of foolishness; I'll quickly run out of storage space... I could get a 160Gig external drive (from PC Depot) for 20,000 en, which would definitely help. I'd like to find a balance between just having tons of crizap and editing tooo much along the way... I think it will be easier overall to just have tons of crizap and once I am setled again, sort through all of it. Or hire someone to do that.
