One second everyday experiment

I read about the One Second Every Day app recently, and thought I'd give it a shot. The idea is that you make a video clip every day and then choose just one second for each day. You then cobble together these moments using this app.

It was a fun little experiment, though I wish I could slow down the playback. I don't mind choosing one lone second, but it's hard to process such different seconds in any sort of coherent way.

I definitely didn't do this every day - I have 12 seconds that represent August 7 to September 9. The seconds are:

• My bike and my stuff at Happy Hour in the park
• Orange Kitty
• A beer at a conference I attended
• Star Trek in the Park
• BBQ with a friend at Podnah's, which I'd long wanted to try
• Oregon Public House: the first non-profit pub
• Grill at my place, with the chatter of friends in the background
• Laundry day
• Cocktail and book for book group
• Book group setup
• Driving in Saskatchewan
• The swifts doing their chimney act here in Portland - the crowd is cheering/booing a hawk that showed up for a snack. It seemed like the swifts fought him off. The swifts are a migratory flock and every year for a few weeks crowds show up in NW Portland to see something like 10,000 of them settle into a chimney for bed each night. 

 The app was easy to use and the experiment was fun, so if I am inspired I'll do more of this.
