The EV VLOG

The EV VLOG is a video series about going electric. For many years I wanted to go electric, it wasn’t really for environmental reasons but for somehow I thought that it could be interesting to have a car I had to charge. Not having to visit the gas station, find the cheapest one, on the cheapest day, on the cheapest hour of the day(it was a thing, before 10am, on Mondays IIRC). Being able to just plug it in at home really appealed to me and also, since I have solar panels on my roof that produces more electricity thanContinue readingThe EV VLOG

How good are the GoPro Hero 9 vs. iPhone and Rode SmartLav for recording audio in the car?

By Martin J

Today I am testing the GoPro Hero 9 for recording audio while driving, trying the different audio settings and I compare it with using the iPhone 11 with a Rode SmartLav+ Hopefully we can come to an conclusion as to what are the best options. Maybe I need to do something completely different? Any suggestions are welcome! Oh, in case you are wondering, the words are “GoPro Stop Recording”. 😉

New gear for live streaming! See you Saturday?

By Martin J

Last live stream went well, but there were room for improvement. What should you use? So I have invested in more gear, a USB PCIE card for more video bandwidth to my gaming rig, another Elgato Cam Link 4K go use with my cameras. Will be dropping the iPhone 7 from the setup, running my Panasonic camcorder and 2 GoPro’s instead. A Hero 6 and a Hero 9. One of them using HDMI the other GoPro as a webcam using USB.

How to install Gluster scale out storage on your game rig and pretend it is a petabyte project

By Random Rud

Rather than repeating what is already there in the guides online, I will just cover the few things they have left out or needs to be updates so in this video there will just be a few useful tips and hints if you want to play with something that would be used in a petabyte scale setup. I am throwing in some hints to help you get started and have fun! In this setup, I am running it on my gaming PC, using VMware Player. There are free options available for doing virtualization.

Travel: Vlog Day 0 – Beginning my road trip

By Martin J

I travel to the other side of the planet by alone for a vacation and I am wondering if I get the car I rented. The whole point of the vacation is to go to the USA and drive a proper American car, but so far it doesn’t look good. I have rented at Corvette Stingray from Hertz in Las Vegas at McCarran Airport. I have a preference for American sports and muscle cars and I really liked the previous iteration of the Corvette that we also rented from Hertz. Starting in Las Vegas, Nevada, driving down to Tuscon, Arizona,Continue readingTravel: Vlog Day 0 – Beginning my road trip

Italian Twinkly lights in the spirit of Clark Griswold

By Martin J

I’m no Clark Griswold and until today, I had no Italian Twinkly lights. So I am unboxing, tinkering and installing these 175 WiFi enabled lights that can be used for any occasion really. The app can scan where the lights are located and then be controlled individually. I hope my christmas lights will spread some happiness in a dark and cold time of the year. 🙂 —— Main Channel: https://www.youtube.com/ruddk Secondary channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKq_sn1DMx6jjYPnGtk2xJw Instagram: @martinRudJ Twitter: @wwwruddk Website: https://www.rud.dk/

EV-VLOG #5 Radio silence

By Martin J

Episode 5 of my EV-log where I talk about not having received my electric car. I have reserved for delivery in March. But that isn’t going to happen and they don’t know when they will be able to deliver it. It seems that the Peugeot e-208 have been delayed with no delivery date in sight. Thanks to @CruisingTheCut for the voice-over. 🙂

Grand Isles, about the car in the water for 22 years

By Martin J

In this video I take a look at some rather interesting news. In Grand Isles, Florida. A car has been submerged in the water for 22 years, containing the remains of William Moldt who went missing in November 1997. But when you look at the Google Earth images and go back in time, it seems odd that no one noticed it during the construction of last houses, when people went out to look at the houses or perhaps when just peering out from their second floor windows

Incredible Jaffa Cakes and where to find them

By Martin J

I have been watching Cruising The Cut lately and so I am told that I should prepare some tea and eat a Jaffa Cake or perhaps a whole pack? The only thing is that you can’t buy Jaffa Cakes around here, although I believe I have tasted them at some point. But the internet can solve the problem, so I get some Jaffa Cakes shipped from the UK. Will it work, and what are Jaffa Cakes?

The best experience in years

By Martin J

Sometimes there are things you promise yourself you won’t do because it is a stupid thing to do and then you do it anyway. This is such one day where I did that. Now what? —- Ok so for those that can’t wait I can say that I purchased the Valve Index virtual reality headset so I can play games, exercise now when we can’t go to the fitness center anymore and I can try virtual reality again. It has been 35 years since I tried it last time in a arcade, where the experience was interesting and frustrating atContinue readingThe best experience in years

Made in America

By Martin J

Mostly Arizona and Sedona. Wine tasting, eating, biking and cruising. A few bits from other places in the end, but mostly Sedona / Village of Oak Creek which is the place I want to return to again. Many of these clips will be extended into their own videos later on. Those who know, can see we got a different car from Hertz than planned. Order this exact model, guess not. 🙂 At least it was a proper american V8 with the right sound. 🙂 Thanks to all the nice people and and Jeremy at Revolve Camera.

The red wine from Page Springs Cellars

By Martin J

A long overdue video about the shipment of wine from Page Springs Cellars. Nothing better than getting more wine to enjoy. I bought 12 bottles of red wine from Page Springs Cellars and were awaiting their arrival. It had to be timed so it wasn’t too hot in Arizona and not too cold in Denmark when it was shipped in order to protect the wine. A nice present to myself from past me, but was it still a great wine? Check out this video to find out. 😀 Cheers. What I bought : 2* 2015 GMCs SKU: 2015039 $52.20 3*Continue readingThe red wine from Page Springs Cellars
