As they say, life flashes before your eyes. This life series includes some flashy moments I wish to flash before my eyes before my life flashes. Is that enough life and flashing for you? Going forward this will be my personal life/travel blog series, cohesively (or not) rolling into one package selected footage of trips, activities and beloved JJ the cat. Most clips are sped up for at least several reasons: (1) some videos would be crazy long if they weren’t; (2) chipmunk voices are funny; (3) I’ve been told my normal voice sounds too deep or serious; (4) a metaphor for life flashing, I guess; (5) it’s much closer to the speed at which my brain generally watches and processes videos comfortably. The series is found in the Travel playlist on my YouTube channel. First episode below.

Update: as of 10 July 2026, such episodes – of travel, life, skits, etc – will simply be referred to Vlogs (distinguished from my other vids: tutorials, demos, etc).

Other updates: 2026-7-9: added reason 3, rating key.
