Steps taken.
I spent most of yesterday on the phone. It was
good; I got a lot done.
I talked to someone in Canadian Customs about my
gear. I'll have to pay some tax to take my gear into the country, but it's only
about 7% on the current "street value". That shouldn't add up to too much. I
also have us on waiting lists at three storage facilities and put my car up for
sale in the Recycler and Auto Trader. All-in-all, it was a "getting things
done" kind of day. I take the minivan in tomorrow for a service and pick my car
up from the mechanic.
I downloaded iTunes
6 tonight and got immediately excited when I saw the "video podcasts". I've
spent most of the night mulling over an idea. It's simple, really: A Hollywood
director, after a series of failures, is forced to take a job making a
documentary about the "real" Canada and is sent to the Canadian prairies. It's
not a film, and it's not a TV show - it's a podcast! It'll take place in
segments about 10 minutes long and already, it's coming together nicely in my
head. There's a lot more to it than that, but if I told you, I'd have to kill
you. Look for it soon on a video-capable iPod (or iTunes 6 or streaming video
over the web) near you!
Also, I realised
that my blog entries are too long. Sometimes, less really is more. Expect less
in the future.
