It will be interesting to note of now the Piedmont Lithium project is a go since the residents of Gaston County might no longer be able to oppose it, which up til now they have been. Just thinking out loud.

Curious coincidences:

Maui and the smart city.
Gaston County, NC the largest lithium extraction project in the US.

Makes one wonder..

PS. There are no coincidences.

Wanted to get a video up to kick off this series. Sometimes I'm conflicted with an internal struggle as to whether I should take my time and insure quality vs. getting anything I can out there to keep the momentum.

In this case I messed up the audio pretty badly BUT tomorrow's episode will be much better.

Sorry about the super shaky footage. Walking down the street with zero image stabilization sux unless you're filming the Blair Witch Project. I'm just truing to get some experience with this camera.

This is a pieced together, 5 minute video from footage shot last week.

First order of business: my apologies for shakiness; zero stabilization. There is none in the GH4 and none in the lens I was using. Right now I'm just experi...

Tested a video with the new Panasonic Lumix GH4. I was holding it in one hand while using the phone in the other. Came out looking like an old film movie, which is kinda cool.

There's a short delay between title and scene so don't worry, it's not broken

Best viewed while logged into YouTube hahaha so you can like and comment.

This Intro is now on Spotify. A lot more to come. Follow me on Spotify, YouTube, Apple very soon and others. I'll let you know. Surely there's a platform for you.

This is a real basic intro for my podcasts. My handle for many years has been Gary Vortex. A vortex being one of the most powerful forces found in nature. Many shows will be created from this point covering anything and everything including informative, how to, politics, religion, inspirational mess...

Welcome to the Vortex.

Added this page to launch video and audio podcasts from the Vortex. Page instead of group for two reasons:

1. centralized source of links and information.

2. I've found most don't participate in the groups and a page acts as a basic staging place to find everything else. What's that called? A landing page? Something like that.

3. Subject or project specific pages and groups makes a more organized file system.

4. The cons, I can't give admin rights for recovery if I'm deplatformed. Oh well.
