Kickstarter Campaign
So, last night, I was trying to record my video for the Kickstarter Campaign to send Marilyn Hartman to Hawaii, and my GoPro crashed. Never had any real problems like this with it before. I mean, it's a nightmare to work with....it's ornery, and curmudgeonly. Like, I never know what the thing is doing. It's impossible to keep the battery charged, so I basically keep it tethered via a USB cable. It needs its own power grid. They should make the things gas powered, for Christ's sake.
Like, it just seizes up and I have to open it and pop the battery out while I'm driving through a canyon with no hands. It's not ready for prime time, I can promise you that. And then, you try to see it up to work via WiFi and be controlled by the GoPro App in the iPhone, and now it's a bridge too far. Like, it works for about 11 seconds and then the whole nightmare melts down on you.
So, last night, it finally full-on crashed. Not sure what happened. It actually showed a little crash icon on the LCD display of the GoPro. Not sure if it's the MicroSD card that's the issue, or if it's the GoPro unit, or what. Now for some testing.
Update: So, I'm not sure what happened. It's working fine now. My best guess is that the battery died.

Easier just to get her a wig and sunglasses...

TL,
And how, pray tell, is shades and a wig going to get her to Hawaii? She still has to have a boarding pass. Don't make me come down there and throttle you...

Maybe she could make her own with Sharpies and construction paper. There are some really awesome stencils out there these days. Not like when we were kids. And if she wears the wig and sunglasses while making it they'll never figure out it was her.

The font was too small. I couldn't hear it.
