Happy New Year.
Today is normally Thursday 13, but I posted it yesterday (as I wanted to do my 2025 in 13 posts in 2025), which leaves me with nothing for today.
But a couple weeks ago my brother sent me a text. It seems that eldest nephew has started a Band Camp page. And I thought, why not link to a few things I wouldn't normally have a need to mention on the blog?
So, first, eldest nephew's Band Camp. Don't let the photo fool you. He's actually 20. He did drumline in high school, and now he's making music on the computer. Take a listen. I'm sure he'd appreciate any support.
Next, my sister-in-law started a podcast called Raven's Lore Cast. The previous link is the podcast on Spotify, and this one is the Facebook page.
My brother, who has been kind enough to edit my little yarn-y YouTube videos, has made a couple of his own. (Well, besides the actual work he does, as he does actually work in television.) The Night of Zach. And The Night of Zach 2.
I have mentioned my uncle's YouTube channel before, but as long as I'm doing this, I'm going to mention it again. He does animations that he posts every couple of weeks.
And then, of course, my YouTube channel, where I make things out of yarn. I have a plan to knit slippers next, but I have not even started this yet.
What sorts of things do you have out there on the internet? Post links in the comments. Promote yourself, too.
Wow, you have a very creative family. I am a blogger through and through. I like reading longer things and posting longer things. Videos sound incredibly daunting to me, and I only listen to podcasts if my husband is listening to them. I am behind the times!
ReplyDeleteYou’re all so creative!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it runs in the family.
DeleteWow, it runs in the family! I had no idea, I just have my garden blog. I'd love to try videos, but they are harder than they look. I'll check out your youtube.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm lucky to have someone who can edit things together for me :)
Delete"Before I agree to 2026..."
ReplyDeleteWell done! Made me laugh.
I used to have a youtube channel but I haven't posted anything on it for years. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/@Catweedhigh
ReplyDeleteI think I quit making youtube movies of cats when Windows Movie Maker was discontinued. It was the best ever easy movie maker and of course, as a great program, it was discontinued by microsoft. It broke my heart.
DeleteOf course they did. Have you considered trying Canva? The free version has lots of easy ways to put things together. Not Windows Movie Maker, but it might work just as well.
DeleteLiz doesn't canva cost money to use? Windows Movie Maker, ok here I go again, in adulation, was so simple, drag and drop, easy to cut and paste clips, oh my, no learning curve at all. Didn't need to take a course to figure out how to use it.
DeleteI'm only using the free version. Yes, there are paid versions, but the free version has everything I need. I mean, it won't be as easy as Windows Movie Maker, but it is pretty simple to use.
DeleteI mostly just have my blog and Facebook page. Can't wait to check out your knitting!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe New Year cartoons are very accurate!
ReplyDeleteI just have my blog and my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@sweetteareads7547
I'm really hoping to do more with both this year.
Yeah, I felt both those cartoons.
DeleteI visited your YouTube channel for a bit. I don't knit, but it was neat to hear your voice.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI love the music titled AP from your nephew's site. I also enjoyed your brothers videos :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, eldest nephew has made some interesting music. And my brother is basically beating that dead horse with his videos. He does do other things too, but that's all he's uploaded for the world at large.
DeleteHave a great year ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks. You too.
