A video tour of Tim’s side garden in Columbus!

Today ’s post is a special dainty ! I ’ll have to give you some background first . A few month ago my husband ( rwotzak ) , who works just down the hall from me over atFine Homebuilding , message me to severalise me that Google was having a competition to take genus Beta examiner of its new gadget , theGoogle Glass . It ’s a funky pair of glasses that you’re able to put on around and use to take photos and videos , and if you tether it to your cell headphone , you’re able to get directions , do simple Google searches , etc . All I had to do was tweet what I ’d do with Glass . I say “ # ifihadglass I would apply it to give duty tour of the garden I visit this summer on my blog , https://www.finegardening.com / web log / garden - photo … ! ” Well , they chose me as one of just a pair of thousand people to become a tester ! Of course , we still had to grease one’s palms the equipment , but Taunton was game , so we did it !

What you see below is our first video tour using theGoogle Glass . I took the machine with me when I visited our friend and fellow GPODer Tim Vojt ( Vojt ) in Columbus , and while I ca n’t show you the integral tour ( his FRONT garden will be in the magazine next year ! ! ) , I can share his side garden . Keep in mind that I ’m still very fresh with this thing . I did n’t peach at all , and it ’s a bit restive as I take the air along , but just imagine you ’re me , taking a quiet perambulation through Tim ’s lovely garden . Feel free to tell me what you would want in next tours – like talking , more stopping and looking around , conversation , etc . For exercise , I wish I ’d had Tim give me a tour , with him in front of me , sharpen out his favorite mo , I should have slow down quite a bit , and I should have look down more often . Let me know what you think – after all , you guy are the understanding we gift in this nifty cock . bask ! And stick tuned … I ’ll be taking it with me to theHigh Linein NYC later this week … .
