Overview
Daniel experiences very slow internet connectivity while exporting a 40-minute video via an SD card reader to YouTube and downloading Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, preferring Linux over Windows to avoid viruses and contrasting the network speeds with those in Korea and Japan.
Daniel purchased a 32GB Samsung Tab S2 tablet from an Amazon third-party seller instead of an iPad due to cost, expandable microSD storage, native screen recording, multi-window support, and PowerDirector.
Daniel tests camera zoom, macro features, and recording vlogs without a front-facing screen, feeling anxious about appearance while appreciating the blur effect.
Daniel interacts with a fast-breathing and hissing cat named Mimo before putting it outside into the rain and wind, expressing a preference for dogs over cats.
Following a return from Taiwan on August 27, Daniel reflects on family relationships, visits the seaside with their sister and her boyfriend, and watches The Martian over the weekend with them.
Daniel discusses starting a new job, waiting for the training period to end to establish a routine, feeling uncomfortable with casual personal questions, and having few shared interests with colleagues who prefer heavy drinking.
Daniel reviews the first season of Stranger Things and discusses media consumption habits.

Daniel is unsure why the cat Mimo breathes quickly, makes unusual noises, or periodically hisses.
Whether the cat's behavior is caused by nervousness around people.
How the video footage from the camera will ultimately appear.
