This Month is 20 Years Since I First Discovered YouTube
This month, I am not sure what day, is 20 years since I first discovered YouTube. I remember when my mom Susan first told me about YouTube. I was 24 at the time. The first video I ever saw was a Starscream animation video (which I did actually find again a few years ago. I downloaded a copy of that video). I remember I had been looking and trying to figure out where I could upload my videos for a long time. I did use a video hosting website called LiveDigital (no one seems to remember LiveDigital now). That is where I had the documentary The Great Whimsical Sherlockian Tour of Oklahoma and Texas uploaded for over a year in 2006. YouTube was very simple at the time, and it was a lot easier to use, in my opinion. I remember watching YouTube for a few months, getting used to how people upload to it and how it works. I remember I loved the user interface of YouTube at the time. YouTube did not have the feature of embedding yet. I am grateful to have discovered YouTube at the time.

Two Years to Get Advanced Features
After two years of trying, my main YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@MrKARproductions3 finally has Advanced Features enabled. I think it will stay this time. My other three YouTube channels were eligible for Advanced Features a few months ago, and I have had those features enabled for all three of those channels for a while before my main channel got the features enabled: https://www.youtube.com/mrblacksmoviereviewsClassics, https://www.youtube.com/@therealweeklynews4, and https://www.youtube.com/@nightmareonthe13th1.

Migraines During 8th Grade Middle School Year
I never said anything before. Hardly anyone knows this outside my family (mainly my mom Susan, my dad Tim, and my older brother Bryan), and students, teachers, and mental health professionals who knew me at that time. I remember having migraines frequently during my 8th grade year of middle at WH Gaston Middle School during 1995-1996. I know part of that was an after effect of my medication allergic reaction February 1995. I remember those would happen at any moment and any time, out of nowhere. I would never know when it would happen. I remember the feeling when a migraine would first start, I would feel a slight throbbing, and then a migraine would kick in shortly after. I remember we tried different things, and what I ended up doing was calm my mind. Doing that became the best way for my migraines to stop. The rest of my 8th grade year went very well once that went away.

This Month is 20 Years Since I Have Been an iMac and Apple User
This month, I am not sure what day, is 20 years that I have been an iMac user and Apple user primarily since the PC I had did not work good earlier in 2005. Being an iMac user has been a fantastic experience. I have used three different iMac desktop computers, my first iMac September 2005-May 25, 2011, an iMac G5 (which I still have very fond memories of using), my second iMac, a 2011 iMac October 29, 2011-February 22, 2019 (I did a lot with this iMac, and worked very well for me), and now my third, and current iMac, a 2017 iMac February 24, 2019-present (this has been a wonderful iMac to use. I have learned different methods and ways of using computers with iMac than I ever have before. I have been backing up my data with external hard drives for the first time ever with this iMac). I had already learned how to Mac computers during college, but I had not used a Macintosh computer at home in a long time. I was 24 when I began being a Mac user away from colllege. I have not looked back, and I am glad that I transitioned to Mac back then, three years after graduating college at The Art Institute of Dallas. Using Mac made me get my passion and skill of video editing back again (meaning capturing video into the computer, and editing that. I remember I edited a Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban music video trailer with Adobe After Effects back in May 6, 2004, but that was with trailers I downloaded, not DVD footage yet). I had been out of it for a while since 2002. Using iMac helped me get the knack for it again, I missed it, and I have not looked back since. I am very glad to have began being an Apple user when Steve Jobs was still alive. Using Apple (and more affectionately, Macintosh computers) has changed my life in many ways, and I am glad that it has been a part of my life for so many years.
