      Hey guys, you mentioned in the video that you wanted ideas of things to film in Canada. One such thing that may work would be making a video on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, a 200km canal built in 1832 to connect the Ottawa River to Lake Ontario. The canal also has an incredibly old but still functioning system of locks to boat to higher elevation. It's a UNESCO world heritage site and would is incredibly beautiful in the summer (where the public can use them). 2017 is also the 150th anniversary of Canada, so that would be a fun time!
      p.s. also in the winter the canal becomes the worlds largest skating rink
      Cheers from Ottawa!

    Supermarkets tend to keep sock styles for years. So stock up on a drawer full of one type, and buy a n extra pair every so often when you are shopping.
    Then you just chuck out odd ones and don't worry about keeping pairs. Granted, they fade over time, but you can usually find roughly matching ones.

    I'm the same way with socks. I toss individual socks out when they get holes and then when my remaining supply gets below a critical threshold I throw the rest out and buy about 15 identical pairs. It ensures I always have good socks and simplifies laundry day since I don't have to worry about sorting them into pairs.

      I have started knitting socks. I need to knit more, because I am rather unwilling to wear any non-wool socks now. But - if you don't count the time spent knitting - they come out fairly cheap that way.

    For focusing on one's own face from a tripod, you can pan the camera around once you've focused on something, so it doesn't have to be *where* you are, just the same distance from the lens. So, a tree offscreen, the edge of a door, etc.

    Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

    I wasn't drunk, because I was like three, if that, but I did catch a Canada goose one time. My family was at the park feeding geese, and I noticed one goose was very preoccupied with its meal, so I sneaked up behind it, and then jumped on its back and grabbed its neck and proceeded to ride that poor goose. That goose was flapping around, squawking 7500 (aviary and aviation humour all in one), and trying to crane its neck around at me to bite me. :D

    If you are looking for stuff on the Western end of Canada, I have a few ideas:
    - West Edmonton Mall: One of the largest malls in the world, if memory serves it is only outdone by one in China. It has multiple indoor theme parks, including a mini-golf course, a roller-coaster, and a water-park.
    - The Royal Tyrrell Museum: One of the most extensive paleontology museums in the world, and the largest collection in the Americas. Also has a fair bit of history what with it being the primary benefactor of the dinosaur wars.
    - The abandoned Calgary subway system: When Calgary was getting its public train system it was originally intended to be an underground rail system. But after the tunnels were all dug, the Mayor decided to scrap the project and build an above ground rail system because it would be cheaper. While the tunnels are closed to the public, it is still possible to get down there if you know somebody at city hall.
    - Chinooks: Chinooks are a weather phenomenon, local to Calgary. Its a native word that means "snow-eater". While the weather phenomenon itself isn't unique to Calgary (other places call it an El Niño), the effect it has on local Calgary weather is. It pushes away the clouds in winter resulting in half the sky being completely clear while the other half is solid clouds as far as the eye can see.

    Focusing advice: if you're a musical person and have a guitar handy, put the guitar on the chair you're gonna sit on, stood up about 3 inches from the back of the chair, and then focus until you can see all the individual strings. Perfect focus every time.
