Join me, J.R. Bjornson, as I navigate life without sight, sharing stand-up comedy, family adventures, and the everyday ups and downs of living with a visual impairment. Let’s explore the world together, one video at a time! If you enjoy my content and want to support my creative journey, consider buying me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/bjornson
The universe works in mysterious ways. Maybe you have not been sleeping well, and RU-vid is like. This person needs to know that they need to sleep because when I recorded this video many years ago. I was struggling with sleeping.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a Shawarma before. Thank you for the suggestion. Once I get enough funding in my Buy Me a Coffee link, I will head off and buy some.
Yes! You know my terrible secret. You must be an audience member. Ha ha ha! I can only get away with being in the driver seat on the highway. More police activity in city. Ha ha ha. Thanks for dropping by.
Great Video My man, appreciate all the useful information and input you put out, and yeah youre right the zoom on the new samsung s24 i think its called. It is crazyyy. i was looking into an insta360 myself awhile back will definitely want one when i start to travel again. i think the cameras on the last gen of those phones are both very neck and neck and gooood
Definitely. The only annoying thing is editing in 360 takes a very long time, but the aspect of the 360 camera is you don’t have to worry about where the camera is pointing because everything is looking everywhere at the same time. So it’s basically shoot now and look later. Which is pretty awesome. And as long as you have patience, you can create whatever your imagination lets you.
The camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy A54 are almost the same. The S24 is a lot more money. However, it has more processing power on it and more ram to run the apps. I use Photo Direcror on my A54 to edit but you need to pay a heck of a free to be able to edit 4K on it. If I want to edit 4K I do it on the PC with a very inexpensive app I got years ago. There is a thing the S24 can do though mine can't, you can download dual camera mode from the Samsung store and have a picture in picture video directly recorded, no editing needed to do that. The S24 does not have expandable memory with an SD card and the A54 does. That's all you will probably need to know other than Samsung is less low mission friendly. If I was you I'd have someone in the store help show you the phone and it's disability friendly features to see if you will be able to use it as well.
Thank you for the information. Yes, definitely would ask for help when I am at the store. I am drooling over the go 3S, because of how tiny it is. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the go 3S is not as high-quality as my cell phone. At this point, I really should just continue using my cell phone, but, we can dream. We can dream. I haven’t been an android user in well over 13 years. I tried using android once when my iPhone stopped working. It was tough to get behind. But, maybe they have gotten better with their devices. I don’t know, it’s been quite a long time. Once you are in the Apple Eco system.it’s really hard to leave, because everything is thought up for you, you rarely have to adjust anything new. Versus android the customization is a lot to handle if you are new to using android.
It’s refreshing to hear such an honest conversation about fears that so many of us have, not just about the dentist, but also claustrophobia and judgment
Thank you for joining the conversation. Yes, anxiety, claustrophobia, judgment, and more. At the end of the day, we are all human beings with various issues. This episode was perhaps one of my favourite episodes I have ever done. A lot of thought and insight went into the production of this particular podcast. I hope to do more Type episodes like this as our podcast recently went into a different category versus our standard news and we are now going into culture and lifestyle in the coming episodes. Remember to subscribe if you have not done that already. Always join me in the comments. Lots of love your host J.R. Bjornson.
Yes, sometimes that does happen. Thank you for joining the conversation. It is incredible how much anxiety, claustrophobia, and fear of the dentist can really play into how we feel.
I hate the dentist. Every time i go to the dentist they check my blood pressure and it is always elevated. My dentist always ends up telling me to get my doctor to check it and he says it's fine.
Thank you for joining the conversation. Yes your blood pressure can definitely react to how you feel. And if you get anxiety about the dentist, your blood pressure will always be elevated. I am beginning to get to know a lot of people who dislike going to the dentist. I am so happy that I am not alone. Thank you for dropping by and remember to subscribe if you have not already done so. We are on Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello dear, Thank you for the video! I was wondering, why don’t the glasses come with OCR technology? Has this feature been added in any later updates? Best regards.
That’s the goal. Cover a new story and come up with puns. It makes the podcast more fun. Coming up in today’s episode. I talk about walking to McDonald’s and how it destroyed me physically and mentally ha ha ha
No, I do not think anybody is ready. But we are humans, and we will do what we do best and get through it. Hopefully my TikTok live stream business will take off by then. Only time will tell.
I got stared at a lot. I made it a habit if someone stares at me, either I raised my eyebrows and stare back or approach them and ask them why they are staring. 😮
These days I tried to ignore it or I change it into a lesson. I find if I wear glasses people don’t stare as much. Because then I just look like a stereotypical Blind person. Thanks for checking out the video. Cheers.
I don’t have Ray-Ban glasses, I have Oakley’s. But for this episode, it was cheap gas station glasses. Just to avoid Blind questions that I get tired of answering.
Sorry for so many individual comments. This Handycam still looks ok but compared to today's technology it's not crystal Clear especially on movement. If you pause the clip where there is movement you can tell it's not clear. But otherwise still usable
Yes. The GoPro session was an awesome little camera. The only thing I disliked about it was it had zero stabilization. And you had to purchase a mount so you could put it on a tripod. It was a great camera if the scenery was bright. But it did not do well in low light. I still have it to this day, but can’t think of any reason why I would use it.
Originally introduced by my friends from Edmonton that I met here on RU-vid named Scott and Jenny. I looked up to Scott because he always had an eye for cameras. Scott is still doing well to this day.
I still occasionally use my Canon g7x which was released in 2014 and my DJI Osmo action camera which was released in 2019. I have other cameras I don't use which were released years and years ago
Cannot beat the classics. I love my DJI action three camera. It shoots great video. And even has amazing audio. I love the relics of yesterday. They hang in there and gives videos a retro look. At the end of the day, it’s all about the story you choose to tell.
ASMR. It’s amazing. How watching someone drink a drink you have drink in the past can feel as if you are doing it right now. Glad you enjoyed the video. Blue prime is my favourite prime.
It’s like having some thing that is sour and a little salty at the same time. I definitely enjoy this drink as well. And it has no caffeine so I can have it before bed if I really really want to.
My good eye is similar to yours, but with somewhat better acuity. It was amazing listening to you describe accommodations and difficulties that match mine so closely. Thank you for sharing this! The number one thing that amazes me about sighted people is being able to read normal-sized printed text on paper (like novels or magazines) in such a huge variety of lighting conditions. I can read printed text under ideal conditions, but there's enough eyestrain involved to limit that to 15 minutes at most before it's migraine time. I do most of my reading on a tablet in a dimly lit room with a huge font and light-on-dark display, and even that pushes me into killer eyestrain after at most 45 minutes. Being able to read anything casually anywhere as long as I want to would be amazingly cool.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It's incredible how much we can relate to each other's visual challenges. I totally get what you mean about being amazed by sighted people's ability to read normal-sized text in various conditions. It’s one of those things that many take for granted, but for us, it's a whole different world. I also rely on digital devices with large fonts and adjusted lighting, and even then, it’s a struggle sometimes. It's comforting to know we're not alone in these experiences. Thanks again for your kind words and for watching the video!
@@BjornsonVideos , you are most welcome! We blind-ish inheritors of ludicrously rare congenital eye problems need to stick together. 😁 Seriously, though, I think one of the most wonderful things the internet has accomplished is letting millions of people know that they are not alone. Whatever your medical issue, special interest, gender or sexual identity, or anything else, you can find people who share it, and form a community to support one another. That is spectacularly valuable. Despite all the evils the internet has made possible, that one glorious good outshines them all.
I know you addressed it but be my eyes, especially the ai which is completely free does the same exact features you describe and more. I don’t know how much it is in Canada, but in the US ChatGPT premium comes with heavy $20 a month price tag
Thanks for your comment! I totally get where you're coming from. There are definitely free options out there that do a lot of the same things, and I mentioned some of them in the video. For me, the decision to pay for ChatGPT is about having a reliable tool that I know will be there for me when I need it most. The premium version offers faster responses and sometimes more detailed outputs, which really helps with the specific tasks I rely on it for daily. It’s all about what works best for each person, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
"Essa é uma ótima ideia! Daqui a seis meses, quando eu fizer outro corte de cabelo, vamos gravar de todos os ângulos. Demora cerca de seis meses para o meu cabelo crescer de novo. Obrigado pela ideia incrível!"
ChatGPT is around $20 per month. I have the iPhone app and absolutely love it. Envision AI glasses are glasses you wear with a camera. Then the artificial intelligence tells you what you see. I can do all this stuff on my iPhone with the use of ChatGPT. so right now I don’t have the need to purchase glasses. But I am hearing a lot of good things about Meta AI Smart glasses. Rebl Smart glasses. Which allows you to listen to music through sunglasses and capture memories with a little camera.
