Why the rant icon?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I felt like I was ranting at the time, but that might have been real life around me as I was typing not on the message boards?  I don't know.

It's b*st*ard July for elephant's sake! 
I know they start earlier every year, but that's just ridiculous.

Woman's selfie causes $200,000 of damage to LA art exhibit | Fox News[^]
There is a video.
Rather idiotic and unfortunate accident. However, it seems to me that the art exhibit holds some responsibility for failure to properly secure the columns to the floor. In fact, it appears they're not secured at all! If I were one of the affected artists, I'd be much more angry with the exhibitors than with the hapless selfie-taking woman.

The fact that you're not willing to pay $20k for a blob of glass doesn't mean some rich sunshines aren't; and the price for that sort of thing is whatever the market will bear.  
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've been writing software for over 30 years and I've reached a point to where I'm tired of doing it. I recently took up the hobby of video editing and creating a YT channel with my wife and a friend. It's been a lot of fun, but I've noticed that I'm doing the same things that I do as a programmer.
First, I had to get the right tools, ie. camera, tripod, lights etc. I, then, had to get the right software and do all of this on the cheap. Then comes the technical stuff setting up the channel, adverts and alike.
The video editing becomes tedious and draining, staying up till the early morning getting the resolution, green screen, and audio correct. I've spent the last week creating videos and have gotten very little sleep.
Come to think of it, I think I'm going to stay a programmer. I at least get more sleep. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

All you have listed are the requirements for any skilled job: the right tools, skill, and a bit of perfectionism. 
Best of luck in your new career/hobby!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

Thanks. I hadn't planned on making this a job, just to have a bit of fun. I would usually go home and work on a C# project, like steganography, or an appointment system, but found myself getting a little burned out. This hobby, I thought, would provide a new learning experience and an exciting way to see how others respond to my work. It's rare to get any positive feed back from software development. It's just that with the programming, others are now trying to dictate their requirements and not mine.

Can't sleep?
1. make a video of some sheep and count them,
or
2. become the project manager and get the other people to do the work.
#1 and #2 pretty much functionally equivalent except that #1 doesn't require meetings - huge plus.

Great idea! I get the best of both worlds.

Maybe you are not a "creative" type of person.
I'd rather be phishing!
