Wild day cruising 3 Starbucks plus Emory Univ WiFi -- doing eclipse uploads!

Found myself camped at Starbucks (4070 Lavista Rd, Tucker/GA), after late Wed night (10:30pm) run to Burlington Coat Factory (snagged some cool t-shirts for $6 - $10 each)

Did upload from MacBook Air of

GH4 + Rokinon 7.5mm

from the car at 6am (Starbucks opens at 5am).


Had to go inside, since battery of MacBook Air was down to 6%. Brought in ALL 3 laptops (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Asus PC), & started hammering away. 


The VideoPad edit for

GoPro 6 Ultrawide view

was no good, since VideoPad "free mode" was gone -- had to pay! Download CapCut video-editor, kludged up an edit for above. Uploaded it to Youtube:

Thus, completed the 2 uploads of WA (wide-angle) 4k videos. Previously, the

GH4 + 7.5mm Rokinon fisheye

was uploaded to Youtube..

Was looking for a 4tb USB hard-drive, found one at Decatur Best Buy (2525 N Decatur Rd, Decatur/GA). There was a Best Buy next to the Starbucks I was at -- 4135 Lavista Rd, Tucker/GA. Went there to pickup a JBL portable BT speaker -- JBL Flip 6 (discounted $29 to $99)

Headed to REI, to do return on bicycle rear panniers. Along the way, went to Sams Club to get rotisserie chicken ($5)

Then, during rush hour, headed to Decatur Best Buy (2525 N Decatur Rd, Decatur/GA). Turns out the 4tb hard-drive was NOT available! So, just went to the next door Starbucks to do some more eclipse work.


Closed early (8pm), so picked up & went to the Starbucks at Emory Univ.

 They used "Emory Guest" WiFi, Was able to download GIMP, & got some

Canon 5D + 14mm

time-lapse pics done.

Got kicked out at 10pm, finished up outside Starbucks


Used the *sweet* JBL Flip 6 speakers, with smartphone (Youtube video)

^^^ Man, that's some CRAZY "running around"..
