August 26th, 2010

I preordered ZOOM H1 Handy Recorder more than 1 month ago. Finally got it this afternoon.

It comes with a 2GB microSD memory card. Nice!

I put my 8GB microSDHC memory card in it. Works fine. Great!

This recorder is very light. It takes only one AA battery.

The handhold part looks too plastic for me. The battery cover feels cheap!

Prelude from BWV 999 in D minor (J.S. Bach), Classical Guitar Solo

October 5th, 2011

Happened to wear in Steve Jobs style before I heard the news at night…

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

This is an excellent piece of music and superb for right hand arpeggio practice too.

There are some tricky places, especially when we don’t use slurs at all.

I put the strings on about 3 month ago. I used my nail polish sand paper to polish the 1st string (around the sound hole) right before this recording.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)

Guitar: ROMERIGO S 01, 罗美里哥 S 01（2010）

Strings: Luthier Concert Silver Set 30 (3 months old)

Microphone: RODE NT4 + ZOOM H1

Camera: Samsung TL350 / WB2000

In the 1st video, I played F base at measure 23.

… … a few days later … …

Same guitar and strings

Microphone: RODE NT4 + Sony MZ-RH910 MD

In the 2nd video, I played E base at measure 23.

How to Link or Unlink a Google Account from a YouTube Account

September 18th, 2011

In the old days (a few years ago,) YouTube accounts were different from Google accounts. That was true even after Google acquired YouTube with 1.65 billion in stock. A YouTube user used a set of user name and password to log in, where the same user used a separate set of user name and password to log in a Google account.

Later on, Google managed to link Google accounts and YouTube accounts. A Google user could just log in once, then the linked YouTube account would log in with one single set of user name and password. It worked pretty much like today’s social network accounts.

Nowadays, Google makes it official to use only one Google account for both Google and YouTube services. Here is how to link a YouTube account to a Google account.

If a YouTube user wants to re-link his/her YouTube account to a different Google account for some reason, it can be done by following the instructions here.
