03-26-14 It Was Only 13 Years Ago . . . .

March 26, 2014

By Scott Shephard

One of my concerns these days is that if I should leave this world unexpectedly, those who survive me will be overwhelmed with all of the stuff I have collected in boxes, drawers and closets. The physical stuff is one thing - throw most of it in the dumpster or give it to Goodwill. But what about the digital stuff? I have about 20 terabytes of it. Yes, I'm a digital packrat.

I think I'm going to be around for 20 or 30 more years, so don't read too much into the first paragraph. Life is good and I'm healthy. But meanwhile, I try to clean things out once and a while. The problem is that when I start to sort through stuff, I find things I didn't know I had and I get totally distracted.

Such is the case with this flashback video. In 2001 I led a group of students and adults on a 14 day trip to Italy.I took many photos, mostly on film, but some with Canon Powershot G1.  I also took video. My tradition back then was to make a trip video and this is it.

The video is hosted on YouTube and there's a good chance that by the time you see this, it has been banned due to its use of copyrighted music. So if it's become a silent film or if it has disappeared, go here. (But don't tell YouTube.) You should be able to find a "Download" link there as well.

It would be fun to connect with some of the folks in the video. If you're reading this, and you don't say something, there will be a great disturbance in the universe. And if I should leave this world, and you don't say something, how would you feel then? Oh, this is about a European trip, not a guilt trip. Sorry.
