Z is for Zimbrick

This is an annotated video for an auto dealer. A neat idea that allows details to be contained in their own video. Each video is linked to another, so it is easy to move from one to another. From the intro you can also choose where you would like to start. It must also be noted that this annotation feature only works on the desktop Youtube site. While that may seem to be an issue, it's been my experience that the desktop Youtube is still where lengthy time period watching video is spent. Mobile devices tend to have a much shorter usage time in a different user environment, so linked videos do not usually get the attention on mobile. I find it reasonable to have an annotated experience aimed at desktop researchers, while mobile users are "detected" and given a different look to access the same menus.

Y is for Yetling

One more word I am at a loss for when it comes to finding one with relevancy to QWM. Turns out there are plenty of strange words starting with Y. Including one I have some experience with. Yetling is an object made out of cast iron. Who doesn't like bacon and eggs fried in a cast iron pan. Practically nectar of the gods and something I have eaten several times, although I claim nothing immortal in my blood lines.

Two strange words in a row, with a third likely tomorrow. At least for those of you cast iron cooking fans, maybe you have a new word to describe your culinary metal collection.

X is for Xylopolist

I was fairly sure I had no clients with an X in their company name. So here at the letter X I had to stray to a word from an external source. Xylopolist is someone that sells wood. In my other life as wavetrainSUP I do sell wood in the form of paddle kits, so at least I can claim some relevancy. Not quite a client with an X name, but teh alphabet makes strange demands sometimes.

W is for wavetrainSUP

In my other life I make paddles and paddle kits. So here is the video I made, with the help of my oldest daughter.

V is for Veterinarian Service

Lots of people care about their pets. They spend money on them and consequently want to research where they should take their pet when it needs healthcare. Thus we have a business need for vets to use video as a promotional tool to persuade potential new clients to come in with their pet for care.

U is for Unusual

Culture can be weird. Norwegians are almost all weird. As is their main food, lefse. I jest. However, I do live in Stoughton, which for better or worse, seems to be known for its Norwegian background. I donated a video to show how lefse is made, a food I consider to be fairly unusual.

T is for Time Lapse

One of the more unique uses of video. This video is actually a series of still photos from a kitchen remodeling project. I used a still camera that took a shot every minute (I think). At the end of the project, I had beaucoup still images that I dumped onto a video timeline and rendered out as a video. It's a "stop action" look and feel but I think it is a great way to show changes over a long period of time.
