Thing #15: Infographics

While I love the images that Infographics Hub collects and categorizes, the app itself is disappointing. I was not able to set up a personal login for saving items I found, and attempts at both searching and sharing via email crashed it. Luckily the sources are usually on the images, so this app can still function as a locator. But then so can Google Images. I liked this one on What Can Humans Learn from Animals.

Thing #14: Video

I am not much into sharing pictures and video. I have Facebook friends who capture so much of their lives that one feels like they've moved in with them. I'm sure their children will cherish those movies and pix someday but right now I'm a bit of a Luddite in that regard. Super 8 reels probably elicited the same reaction a generation back.

My first try at video was created with Magisto, an Editor's Pick on Google Play Store. The star is Duncan Cat, whose tuxedo lent an air of elegance to the film despite his low-key portrayal. I couldn't get an easy connection to my still photos or my own music so this first try is not quite what I wanted.  It felt like the app had all the control of the finished product and I wasn't really directing it. Maybe that's all one needs for a quick post on a social media destination. I liked it enough to pay $.99 to download it from the free app.
