    Maybe he made a New Years resolution to be a nicer human being.

    If I am understanding correctly, he is making his videos with a head mounted GoPro or something like that. It gives the viewer close to driver's perspective as he is checking his mirrors.

    I was considering getting the Google Glasses, with the camera mounted in the frame. It would be nice to share some of the places I need to take rig.

    I thought I had a perfect video of how to make a right turn. That was one of the first days I had the dash mounted camera, but I didn't push the correct button for record. The turn required a three point backup into a cow pasture to line up the trailer dead straight on a 120° turn. Then ease on down a muddy slope to center up on a temporary metal bridge spanning a stream, with 1" of tire off the bridge on either side if you do it right, then gun it up the steep muddy hill on the other side, then...

    ...breath.

    I think we can all respect a man who's willing to try a different approach.
