This is a 360-degree video, so you can move the camera angle around with your mouse.

Well, maybe mountain is a bit of a strong word, but it's one of the highest elevation home sites in Las Vegas, with beautiful views over the valley, the Strip, the airport, and the surrounding mountains. Let's go through your top-voted questions from https://pollgab.com/room/brento while taking in the view - and you can move the camera around, since this is an Insta360 video.

My tripod is probably never gonna recover from the salt water, but the water was so nice that I couldn't resist.

Yes, I'm back on a cruise ship with another 360 degree video. Lest you think I'm being wildly irresponsible (or responsible perhaps?) with your consulting and training money, be aware that this particular cruise was free thanks to the fine folks in the casino department at Norwegian Cruise Lines. In between beaches and blackjack, let's go through your top-voted questions from https://pollgab.com/room/brento.
Let's hang out in my home office in Vegas and go through your top-voted questions from https://pollgab.com/room/brento. The audio's a little echo-y in this one because I just moved my office down to a small first floor guest bedroom with hardwood floors instead of carpet, and I haven't treated the room for noise yet.
Want to ask your own questions or pick the ones I discuss? Head over to https://pollgab.com/room/brento to get involved. In the meantime, let's hang out in the backyard, where Beni makes a special guest appearance.

While in the midst of moving my home office into a new room in the house, I stopped to take your top-voted questions from https://pollgab.com/room/brento. About 18.5 minutes into the recording, my camera overheated because I hadn't set up the fan on it yet, hahaha.

When I travel, I try to take y'all with me to really pretty or at least interesting locations. On my Tokyo visit last year, I did Office Hours in Akihabara, the electronics & anime shopping hub. Even though I'm not into anime at all and I don't collect that kind of gear, I wanted to see it because it's famous among geeks.
Kyoto feels like a timeless, classic version of historical Japan with quiet tree-lined streets, giant temples, and bubbling brooks. It's the exact opposite of last week's experience in noisy Osaka! Last year, I filmed in Kyoto outside a temple, and this year, I'm at another temple just after New Year's, the time when Japanese folks traditionally go to visit their many gorgeous temples.
