A Disk in Distress

I am proud to announce that I have learned how to create and edit videos! Ronald gave me an excellent tutorial on the art of "iMovie." The task was to edit the video Brooke captured from the French Quarter Festival press conference. She took wonderful videos of the festivities during the event, and she enlisted my services to create a single, brief video to showcase her experience. All in all, the project turned out to be a success, minus a brief technical error that occurred before we even began. The video clips from the event were stored on a disk, which we put into the disk drive. To our surprise, nothing happened, and when we attempted to eject the disk there was a low growl, similar to the noise an animal makes when it feels threatened. The disk was stuck in the computer! There is very little that can be done to remove such a disk without ultimately breaking the computer. Because of this, we sought help from others in the office, which resulted in three adults staring at the computer without a clue of how to rescue the disk. Ronald had a brilliant resolution: Google, "how to remove a stubborn disk from the disk drive of an Apple". The moment I began to type the question into the Google bar, the disk popped out of the drive! Ronald was right- Google does solve everything! I am not exactly sure whether Google actually aided in saving the disk, or whether it was more of a right-place, right-time situation; however, the disk was rescued and our video editing project was finally completed! Please see Brooke's blog titled, "French Quarter Festival Press Conference," to view the finished project.
