Hey Tennis Friends!
It’s “experimental day” here at GroundsPass.net. Since I have to keep my laptop silent (along with cel phones and other electronic devices), I don’t know how this will turn out. I guess that instead of blindly trying this, it’s more like “deafly” trying this.
I am using the built-in camera on my MacBook along with iMovie to capture and send my intro that I just did for Tommy Haas. It is in the QuickTime format, so I hope that you can all open it.
I captured it, then edited it based on when the audio meters started and stopped fluctuating, so, my apologies if something gets cut off. I won’t be able to listen to this until late tonight, after my work is completed.
Hopefully it’s not too embarrassing. It’s ironic (being that I sometimes work as a cameraman) that another cameraman stepped in front of my shot at the end, . . . his name is Skippy, by the way . . .
Tommy defeated Andy Murray in three exciting sets 2-6, 7-5, 6-3.
During the night tennis, I was showing chair umpire Lars Graff the capabilities of my MacBook between matches. Friendly as he is, he agreed to pose for a picture with me.
Lars was very professional, and helpful. He had assisted me with my pronunciation of some of the international cities in the bios that I had to read. Thanks Lars!
I’ll see you next time, with more tennis, . . . outside the lines!
