The leg snapped and everything started to slide right. Luckily I was home to catch it and shove a chair under the edge. Wait, these days I’m always home.
I think the universe is telling me to “break a leg” because today I’m putting online my first episode ever.august 2 2007
I call Applecare a lot, you know, for Mac help. And when I called weeks ago Tim from California was on the other end. july 24 2007
The guy spent an hour and a half answering my sheet of questions, guided me through Final Cut (hello keyframing), and taught me that Streamclip is the way to go. Without his help it would’ve taken me forever to figure this stuff out.
And until tonight I didn’t realize how rare Tim is… because the guy I just had on the line said, “Keri, this is not a Final Cut hotline” and hung up.
We will be going to explore deep space and look through a giant telescope.
I was so nervous to ask… I read in the paper there was an open house at Queen’s Observatory so I showed up and asked the guy in charge if he “would like to be in an episode of my show, ‘The Canadian Explorer’”.
It felt so weird to say that last sentence aloud.july 19 2007
That’s what I just edited for. Straight. Final Cut started doing weird things at the end so I shut it down, propped it up on a book and directed my fan on it.

Before putting anything online I thought I’d be a good idea to find out how much trouble I can get myself into. So through Google I found Ann and Anne Marie, invited them to coffee and to my surprise they said yes.
The jist of our hour together was, “Keri, you need release forms” and “rights and releases are more serious than you realize”. Okay, and ladies, for real thank you for scaring me.july 9 2007
