About


The Wayrider Chronicles started by a suggestion in a pub over a few beers, after I had mentioned I was, for various reasons, getting bored.

The suggestion was that seeing as I was 'opinionated', why didn't I think about starting a YouTube Channel.

So I did.

The name, or rather the url, was one I have had for a number of years and had never gone anywhere. I had attempted to run a blog under the domain name thewayrider.com, only it never got off the ground.

When I originally claimed the name. I was looking for an expression or name that evoked a person walking or moving along life's road, that stretched into a distant future.

The mountains came later, and are perhaps a reflection on where I now live.

The road of life is one we all walk along, essentially alone, or rather alone in our heads.

Iran Uranium and Veils or No Veils

  Looking at a relaxation of the proverbial Uranian hard line.  This video was inspired by a report on the Italian State TV channel, TG Uno (TG1) It was also one of my first attempts to get creative with the CapCut video editing software.  The inclusion of the TG1 clip was made using Windows 11 facility that records online gaming, found under: Windows 11 Settings → Gaming → Record What Happened — or more easily Windows Key+Alt+G. Before discovering this option, recording the equivalent of 'catch-up' TV with other software usually resulted in no audio being recorded, and it was also hard to do. CapCut's AI language transcription system translated the original Italian — this is a lot harder than it looks, and takes forever to get right.  Without a good working knowledge of the translated channel language, I do not believe that it would have been possible to make sure that the subtitles were accurately translated.  As it is, here the subtitles move too quickly.
