One Second Every Day

Just watched this and I have to share it:
http://www.ted.com/talks/cesar_kuriyama_one_second_every_day.html

I am so inspired right now.  Lately I have been thinking to myself that I need to use Twitter more to document what I do.  I think this is really taking it to the next level.  One second of video sounds like not much at all, but watching it put together it is amazing how powerful it becomes.  I am reminded of the saying: A picture is worth a thousand words.  Standard video is 30 fps (frames per second) so this one second of video is equivalent to 30,000 words.  That is roughly 2,000 tweets per day (30,000 words divided by 15 which is the average number of words per tweet).

I think I need to start recording more video. . .one second at a time.

  1. That video is so smart because life is so long and busy for recording for one second can help you remember the good things so you wont become depressed from being so busy so you can keep on rolling.

    1. So are you going to try it? Maybe start smaller and one second every week?

  2. That video is really awesome because you can show all of the interesting things you are doing without taking more than 1 second out of your day

  3. Downloaded Vine for my phone- it does one minute of video in a fun way - this might be a great way for me to start this project.

  4. I think this would be cool and a good idea.. many things happen in my life that i would like to write down or record.. and i could show it all without taking alot of time out of my day.

  5. This is seriously awesome. All those memories that would be captured in that one second would bring you back to that day and spark the memory of that whole day. And watching a movie about my life? Who wouldn't want to watch that! I would totally do this.

  6. This is a really great idea. i always hate it when i cant remember something special that i did in the past. i think i an going to do this! it would be a really great idea especially to show your grandchildren what you have done through out your life. you could show them, instead of tell them!

  7. I think this is a really good idea. And it could be useful, if you forget something, or want to remember something that happened that was special to you. It could also be used for when your older and a grandparent, you could show your grandchildren the things that where important to you when you were growing up.

  8. This is really awesome. It could be useful. And I really like the way he explains things and how he talks about even when you're having a bad day you should still do it because not every day is a good day. I think its a really cool concept and I'm very interested in it.
