I posted my first video to YouTube in 2006 (20 years ago?!). The channel (doesn’t feel like the right word for how I use YouTube) has 624 videos and 1.13K “subscribers.” Claude says “the subscriber count and watch time are essentially noise from people who stumbled in sideways.”

Apple: The First 50 Years
I haven’t owned every Apple gismo, but a lot of them: airpods (23); Apple Music (10); Apple Watch (8); iPad (45); iPhone (131); iPod (64)
Edge Light
“The Edge Light video effect provides a pleasing fill light to evenly illuminate your face in low-light conditions — like a virtual ring light.”
I bought a ring light a few years ago but rarely use it. Will see if I can find it a home.
AirPods Pro 3 remote start and mic

This clip runs just under a minute. One feature of AirPods Pro 3 allows you to remotely take photo or record video on your iPhone. And use the AirPod to record audio.
Apple Watch Camera Remote + AirPods Pro 3
In our ongoing effort to “die broke” I ordered the new Apple Watch 11 and a set of AirPods Pro 3. As I wait for these new toys to arrive, I’ve started playing with the Camera Remote feature on the Apple Watch.
The idea is I can take a photo or video while the phone is across the room (or wherever). In the photo mode it captures a burst of images… and video works as you’d expect.
The AirPods Pro 3 has a number of cool new features, including recording audio from the AirPods instead of the iPhone. In this video (:13) it’s obvious the audio is being recorded from across the room. The new AirPods will also allow me to start and stop the video recording.
