The "stable" shots had a lot of flutter, BUT the heavy bass underneath it kind of justified the fluttering in a weird way that my brain liked. Keep doing that.
Congrats on the move Myke! I notice that in this vlog you make several trips to IKEA. If I may, have you considered moving into IKEA itself to reduce your commute time? I understand that having just moved, you may be reluctant to do so. However, the main advantage to this scheme is that you will no longer require any possessions since IKEA has everything a human person could ever need in almost limitless supplies. You could sleep in a different bed every night and sit on a different sofa every day if you so choose. Please note: many of the bathroom facilities at IKEA are not actually plumbed in and are for display purposes only. Seek out the section called “costumer toilets” for personal use. One thing to keep in mind, IKEA does not currently sell clothing. Although this should not be a problem if you embrace the “just socks and only socks” ensemble I suggested in the comments on an earlier video. Just remember to bring a single pair of thin white socks with you when you move in to your new IKEA dwelling.
So jealous you got your hands on a pair of Spectacles! The shots look cool, tho I am imagining how it looked from the other side: Myke building furniture inside while wearing sunglasses 😎 😆
Great specs, Myke! I think you should only use them to take video of square things. I like the oxymoronic squared circle nature of that type of filmology.
when just sitting and talking in front of the camera every few sentences you could try moving the cameras location to try and get a different background. love the vids glad to see the stress of the house calming down
Hay Mike, I'm a big fan of your Cortex podcast. this is my first vlog it looks like it's on it's way to being something really good. although you haven't gotten used to being on camera your voice pre recorded and when ever your face is not facing camera is clear and confident. What I would love to see from you in the future is some unboxing if you'd like. I think your voice and charisma are perfect for such videos. Thanks for the hours of great entertainment you provide us.
I think the spectacles look pretty bad, but if you put them in the corner of regular video.... It might be better. Are the Emoji of you featured throughout actual Emoji or Emoji-esque drawings?
Myke Hurley i think they work exceptionally well. I was always a bit jolted when you used 🤓. I dont know exactly why that was, but the new emoji hit the sweet spot
Because they can market it as "looking cool." - because, let's face it, few things are cool off the shelf. Most things are cool by association. Stick these things on photoshopped models and hipsters, and you got yourself something that could be considered cool.
"Stick these things on photoshopped models and hipsters" that what brought myke in, specially the "hipster" part i'm guessing... i'm still waiting for a google glass like thing that is hidden inside the glass itself, with styles to choose from specially, myke likes the spectacles, most people don't
So 1) how many pieces of silverware did you buy? and 2) do you love or hate Ikea? I suppose the feelings are mixed and you don't want to see the store again for a very long time.
I'm disappointed in you Myke. 2 weeks without a video. Not keeping a video per week schedule, tisk tisk tisk :p
+Tony Rahme booooo

+CharliMarieTV yeah that part was weird haha
the things we do to get the perfect vlog footage! 🙌
The Spectacles POV thing you've got going on really works Myke, love it 👍🏻
I feel like your style is very quickly getting defined are refined, and I'm really loving it. Keep up the great work Myke!
+PokemonTom09 thank you so much!
Congratulations Myke!!!!! You made it!! Here's to many happy memories in Cortex Cottage ;)
Love the vlog so far Myke! Impressive how you are able to keep it going through your move, good job! :)
+BlackButterfly Thank you!
I really like your videos Myke. They have style!
hope your feeling better man ! still the pain is all worth for your own place ! cheers
Great specs, Myke! I think you should only use them to take video of square things. I like the oxymoronic squared circle nature of that type of filmology.
Myke - you should totally check out pexon and minic cables!
I like the Spectacles-Myke emoji. Your vlogs are really well made. Keep up the good work!
when just sitting and talking in front of the camera every few sentences you could try moving the cameras location to try and get a different background. love the vids glad to see the stress of the house calming down
I'm very jealous of your spectacles and the video from them is pretty cool!
Big congrats Myke, hopefully this gives you some stretching-out room!

+Khaled Al-jasser thanks for the suggestion!
Aah, my local IKEA... I know it well.. ;) Keep up the great work Mike, hope you and A had a great Christmas!
I liked the different view points you get with the glasses. Very nicely built into the vid 😄
+Deanosoreleg Thank you!
Snap is moving in an interesting direction. Google glass was engineer friendly so didn't work.
Whilst I used to enjoy my trips to IKEA Croydon I don't think I could deal with so many in such a short period of time!
The vlog I have been waiting for! Love to you and Adina. 💜
+Sarah Rodgers 💟
Your vlogs just keep getting better!
+Deline 💟
I'm so angry. Why wasn't i notified??? I was so happy to see this vlog pop up on my what to watch next feed.
Good for you myke!
The way you haphazardly unpack things makes me laugh.
Congrats on finally moving in Myke! MegaOffice (or meggeroffice as I hear it) is looking tip top. Sweet hoverboard. 😀👍🏼
I have that same silverware!
Funny you need size labels on the boxes. Better if it said, "please don't chuck or boot"
Great video Myke. Tho IMOH you could use a little more Adina in the vlogs.
Dope glasses Myke!
Love my Specs!
Happy Christmas
The cortex cottage!
Nice place!
So many boxes, You know what you have to do Myke. Get a cat.
Hey Myke, love the vlog. Quick question... what's this "megar office"? ;)
I think the spectacles look pretty bad, but if you put them in the corner of regular video.... It might be better.
Are the Emoji of you featured throughout actual Emoji or Emoji-esque drawings?
That's actually a pretty great idea! Would love to see a tripod shot with the spectacle footage synced up in the corner.
+hi_itsNathan yeah I'm still working out how best to use them.
They are some custom mad emoji 😉

Myke Hurley i think they work exceptionally well. I was always a bit jolted when you used 🤓. I dont know exactly why that was, but the new emoji hit the sweet spot
"because this looks cool"
nope...

i'm still waiting for a google glass like thing that is hidden inside the glass itself, with styles to choose from specially, myke likes the spectacles, most people don't
The camera view is the same as in 'Being John Malkovich'
It's so weird seeing your face in these videos because it isn't what I had imagined while listening to Cortex and the Pen Addict
Regularly scheduled you say? :P
I like the Spectacles
We need more Adina:(
+TheOrcinusOrca I know! the true star of the vlog was missing this week!
So 1) how many pieces of silverware did you buy? and 2) do you love or hate Ikea? I suppose the feelings are mixed and you don't want to see the store again for a very long time.
+nab 6215 one box. Very mixed
This brings back horrible memories. Sort of like moving PTSD.
What podcasts do you listen to while building furniture?
+SciJoy this time it was ATP and The Incomparable
Would Snapchat Spectacles work over normal glasses?
What was that third item with the neat drawers?
More than 3 rooms in central London?!? This apartment must have cost a fortune.
Clearly we're paying Myke too much. We need to cut back. Maybe spend more on CGP Grey, roomer has it he needs another Apple Watch. ;)
Can the Spectacles do non-circular shots technically?
+lillianz if you cropped it
Where are your glasses from? Your actual glasses not the snapchat spectacles! Thanks!
+th14foreva an optician in London called Bailey Nelson
it bothers me that they take circular videos because it looks pretty bad with so much cropped. It should at least be square
it's moments like @ 1:13 that have to refer to you as hipster Myke lol
also good luck on the construction of mega office
glad to know silverware sets around the world infuriatingly wrap each dang piece in plastic. 😡
Snapchat Spectacles are interesting. However, there is nothing "cool" about them.
Regularly scheduled programming my ass.
+jackkennedy98 🍑
Myke Hurley good job tho. Can see you becoming more competent, fluid.
Spectacles are dumb. Just don't.
Remember when people made fun of Google glass. This is worse. Much. Worse.
+Amjid Khan I don't think so!
spectacles are dumb and not cool
get off my lawn
They don't look cool. :|
