[videoblogging] Re: NaVloPoMo Day 19

[hpbatman7]

But it does take talent, it's not just moments stitched together, you said so 
yourself in this post...

It's the eye, it's a way of seeing the world in a way that no one else sees it. 
 Croma has this gift, you do, Michael, Jay, David Howell, and quite a few on 
this list.  Heck quite a lot on this list actually...

I don't have that eyeI have moments, but by and large I don't.  It's not to 
say that I don't like my video's, I do, well most of them, but the point is 
that to make great video's is still not easy.  The tech side of it, the ability 
to capture footage, edit it and post it, is easy but to know which moments to 
capture, to edit them in a way that tells a great story...those do still take a 
certain degree of knowledge and talent.

That should not discourge people from posting or creating, do this because you 
want to, do this because you can.

Someday this could all be taken from us, use it now

[videoblogging] Re: Copyright Music?

[hpbatman7]

A sound reasoned, thought out responsesweet...but I would expect no less 
from Michael...me, well here is my take.

What I think is disgenious is the following, record labels, corporations, 
marketing people, all for years, heck decades have done is try to get us as 
consumers to think of their products in our everyday lifes...rememeber the old 
Kodak slogan, Share moments, share life, Coke, it's the real thing, and so on 
or the way music is used now in commercials, to envoke a certain feeling or 
moment from your life...I mean in itself music takes us to a certain place in 
time in our lives, music video's help convey this process by putting pictures 
to words and so on

They have spent a lot of money to get us to identify certain brands, certain 
music with events in our lives.  It's how they have made a lot of money...it's 
just that now...anyone can take these things and share them...I mean what did 
they think was going to happen, a whole generation and a half has been rasised 
to think of their lives around brands, around music, around TV shows...and now 
they bitch and complain when we use tools to share OUR lives with the very 
things that we identify our lives with?  It's nuts...I mean they still want us 
to think in the terms that they want us to think in, we just can't share it, 
show it or let anyone know we like or dislike it...

I don't freakin think so

I do agree you should alwasy give attribution though, something I need to be

To render out in mp4 in Vegas you need to go to "file", "render as".  Then in 
the drop down box, select "mainconcept.mp4" and this then should give you an 
option for an "Ipod" version, if you select one of those and select the custom 
tab to the right you can then tweak the setings to get the mp4 output you want.

[videoblogging] Re: Slow HD editing

[hpbatman7]

I think you are going to be stuck wity extra steps here...I just got a zi8, now 
my computer is almost 4 years old now, but at the time I got it, it was 
screaming, dedicated video card and everything.  I wanted to edit video with 
this machine for a while.  And for standard def, it's awesome.  But even with 
Vegas 9, HD is a no go, not in it's native form anyway.  And I have searched 
and searched on Vegas forums, on other forms, etc and for most people they 
convert the footage to a different format to be able to edit.  Now the funny 
part is, that the included software from Kodak, will edit my HD footage well, 
but the video editor sucks, at least from my standpoint of wanting to do cuts, 
overlays's etc  But doing basic trims, it's fine...

I hear you about having the SD card option, that is why for the longest time 
most of my video blogs were shot using my Kodak digital still camera and then 
my Cannon using the movie modes...it was just so much simplier.  That's one 
reason I love the zi8 is that it also shoots in a widescreen VGA mode as well 
as 720 and 1080 HD...

Handbrake might be able to convert you files for you and it's free

[videoblogging] Re: Slow HD editing

[hpbatman7]

This is an excellent point Michael, I think we all got really spoiled with how 
easy it is to edit in DV/SD, etc.  There are so many HD "flavors" out there 
right now and you just need a ton of processing power to edit it, if you arn't 
going to convert it first.  It sucks but I think we are still at least a year, 
maybe 2 away from being able to easlily edit HD video on home PC's.  Who knows 
though

It's funny you should bring this up, as I have been wondering for a while now, 
what the future of the type of video blogging I do is.  When I say "I", I mean 
people who shoot mainly personal video's and don't have the ad's set to on.

All these video hosting sites need to find a way to make money, charging for HD 
content is one (Google doesn't count as they have more money than the whole 
world and YT probably doesn't cost them anything, contray to some reports), 
limiting what you can upload and adding advertisments.  Now at one time adding 
advertisments to any personal vlog would cause a massive flame war here with 
anyone who suggested that advertisments were not all bad, that person would 
forever be branded a heritic and cast out..Butif Blip doesn't make any 
money, then...bye, bye video's...

So...what to do?  Allow advererts?  Or just hope that blip never goes away?  
Self host? (which may or may not be an issue)  I mean long gone are the days 
when you could see a Josh Leo or Paul or a Steve or just a personal vlogger on 
Blip's homepage or showcase pages..It is about being a desitantion for "shows" 
on the web  Which is fine, I mean they need to make money like anyone else and 
they are still the most creater friendly group I know of...this is not a bash 
of blip but more of a question of "where do we go from here?" thing...

It's a very real possiblity that the only "free" game in town someday will be 
YT

This email is a little all over the place but hopefully the main point is 
coming across...will the little guy eventually get shut out?  Will it just be a 
small little market with a handfull of us just making personal vid's because we 
can?

I'm going to be in NY tomorrow and Friday, maybe I should just drop by blip and 
ask them?  lol

[videoblogging] Re: Kodak Zi8 for blogging?

[hpbatman7]

Rupert - I agree with you about the resolution and it's more about the skill 
than the resolution.  Croma's Passenger made me cry it was so beatiful, it also 
made me want to quit vlogging as I realize that I don't have even an ounce of 
his creativity and eye...but that's off topic.

I agree, it's about the story, you don't "need" HD resolution to tell the 
storyHere's the funny thing though, the main reason I bought it was that it 
shoots VGA in a widescreen format as well...848x480, perfect for web video...

Now will I shoot in HD, yes, but only for select things, my grandson, special 
events, etc where I am only going to show the world, a minute or 2 but I want 
to have the other footage for me.

Visual memories are very important to me, during my parents 2nd divorce from 
each other, my father destroyed all of our family photo's, all of them, 
thousands of pictures, simple moments from our lives, fishing with my 
grandfather, my first christmas, my first steps, me sitting and playing, family 
outing, and so oneI have no record of my life prior to me being 16, except 
for about 3 photo's that my mother was able to save (so I guess that means it 
was not all of them but 99.7%)...

I do this for me, I do this so someday my grandson and my children can look 
back and hopefully remeber a happy time, so I want those moments to be a bit 
'bigger'

I know you are not railing at anyone personaly and you are so right in most of 
it's overkill, but I'm an american and we love overkill

[videoblogging] Re: Kodak Zi8 for blogging?

[hpbatman7]

Absolutely Gina, I just bought the zi8 a few days ago and I have been playing 
around with it.  So I do have some serious hands on impressions.  

And you are dead on about having to temper your expectations with this 
camcorder.  I think most people look at the specs and get blown away and think 
they can use it for things that it's really not designed for.  As you stated 
it's a point and shoot camera, meant for sharing short clips with minimal 
editing.  You are not going to be able to shoot a short film on this thing...(I 
mean you could but seriously)

Some things to be aware as there are some issues with this camera.

Yes, it's h.264 .mov file but it's in some funky wrapper and it won't work in 
some editing software programs.  I know for sure in Sony Vegas, if you drop it 
in the time line as is, you don't have any audio.  For most people just 
renaming the mov extension to mp4 works.  For most, for some it doesn't and in 
my case, the audio and video get out of sync for 2 seconds, it's an easy fix to 
correct it but it is a pain.  There are some other work arounds you can do as 
well.

If you are shooting HD, make sure your computer can handle it, mine 
does...barely...(going to get a new one soon anyway)

At night indoors with lighting, shooting in HD, it's grainy...but as noted 
above, this is a sub 200 point and shoot camera, it is what it is.

HD in natural light outside or inside, is stunning.  

Invest in a small handheld tripod and attach it to the bottom of the camera, it 
helps with camera shake a lot.

It also has a WVGA setting which is SD at a 848 x 480 which actually looks 
pretty good even in low light.

When I first got it and had some of the issues, I was ready to take it back, 
but I had to remind myself of a few things, one, most of these sub 200 
camcorders have various issues, funky codecs, lag, low light performance, 
etc...but it's under 200 bucks, you want a real HD camcorder expect to spend at 
least 600-1200 bucks.  After experimenting with it and understanding what it is 
and what it's not. I am keeping it.  Most of the time I will be using it to 
shoot video of my grandson and the rest of the time little short clips here and 
there of things going on around me.  I'll stick with my DVX when I want to make 
a film..  ;-)

[videoblogging] Re: iPod Nano shoots video

[hpbatman7]

I have to say that I agree about the Iphone...and you all know how hard that is 
for me to say..lol  But I think almost hands down, the Iphone is the best 
entertainment device that also happens to be a phone.  Now I have heard as just 
a phone it's just so so, but they did pretty much nail everything else.

Last week, my wife, Glenna, said she wanted a phone that could sync with her 
work outlook, mail, etc.  So we went looking at the phones verizon has (long 
time users, I like the network, what can I say)  Well we first looked at the 
blackberries and they are nice but she also wanted the abilbity to watch shows, 
listen to podcasts, music etc, surf the web and all that...well the one 
blackberry she really liked was the storm and given the reviews of the storm, 
there was no way (although I hear the storm 2 is much better), then we started 
looking at the windows mobile phones.and OMG...I wanted to toss the phones 
accross the room, I mean they sucked, I don't just mean they were hard to use, 
they just sucked, compared to my Dare they sucked...and I like Windows...one of 
about 3 in this group...  Just to send a text message was an effort in "how 
many steps can we make"...

Anyway, she didn't get anything.yet, the blackberry is still on the table 
but if verizon had the Iphone, we would have walked out of the store on Tuesday 
happy and verizon would have made some money

So I will give props to Apple for the iphoneit does make you wonder though 
why these other handset makers are having such a hard time making an Iphone 
"clone"I mean it can't be that hard, can it?

Yea, I ran into some issues too when trying it out on another themeI am 
still on the fence on this, it's awesome that Eric is taking ownership of the

me, I am just not sure if I want to mess with it anymore...part of it's because 
I am moving my site to a new hosting provider and even though it's supposed to 
be "really simple" to transfer your site to a new provider, it left my head

it's given me some food for thought because I was just going to go with

[videoblogging] Video Archives, the best way to show them?

[hpbatman7]

I have been thinking this morning, always dangerous I know, anyway I see there 
has been a lot of discussion again on the best way for vloggers to create an 
archive page.  

Well as I said, it got me thinking and I would like to know what would make you 
view my archive?  I mean no matter how I set up an archive page, what would 
make anyone want to sit back and just watch all of my 400 or so  and counting 
video's?  

How could I even show that on a page? 400 and counting thumbnails?  Would a 
60x60 little picture pique your interest enough to select a random archive 
video and watch it? 

I think before any "solution" can be created we as vloggers have to answer 
these questions first.  Or am I just smoking crack?  

I am also begining to think that an archive is becoming more and more of a very 
personal thing for each vlogger and what works for one may not work for 
everyone, which is why it's good to have choices...

Anyway any thoughts?

[videoblogging] Re: Blip Show Player and Archive Pages

[hpbatman7]

I too have been looking at blip more and more.  In fact I think I am going to 
totaly revamp my site and just use the blip player and as Verdi notes below use 
the blip player as a "visual" archive.  I have also found a few plugin's that 
help show related posts, and random posts that I can put in the sidebar to help 
showcase older video's.

As I have looked and looked and tried to find a theme that was "me" I realized 
that it's not the theme that makes my site, it's me and my content.  People 
don't visit my site because it looks good, they visit my site and watch my 
video's because they know me or are subscribed to me, etcit's the content 
that makes the site "me"  I am always going to have old video's, I will always 
have video's that some like and some do not. And seeing as I post fairly often 
I am always going to have a new video replacing and old one, etc...I for one 
have decided to stop worrying about it and just create, I can always repost an 
oldie but a goodie, I can always create a "showcase" site to show off my 
favortie video's.  I am just going to focus on what I can do, instead of what I 
can't

[videoblogging] How do you consume video?

[hpbatman7]

I have been thinking about my own changing habits in video consumption and some 
comments made by Verdi, Rupert and Ryanne has got me thinking even more.

How has your way of consuming(watching/interacting) with web video changed?  I 
mean remember Fireant?  Subscribe to your favorite feeds and have the content 
downloaded to your PC or laptop for your viewing pleasure!  Then later onto 
your video Ipod!  Sure things like that still exsist, Miro, and some little 
known program called Itunes...(and that blockbuster format the Zune)...

Butand this is a big but, I think, how many of you are still downloading 
and watching video's on your Ipod or Zune or Zen or Iphone?  With the Iphone 
and Ipod, if you have a cell or wi-fi connection you can just watch it 
"online"...do you still download video's to your PC's or Mac's?

I know for me, my portable player is just filled with music and tv shows/movies 
that I have ripped, when I want to watch a "vlog" I just watch it online 
anymore, saying me some hard drive space...

So.how do you watch web video?

[videoblogging] Re: massive infringement (was: Veoh Transcoding Feeds...)

[hpbatman7]

Thank you for saying this Josh...I have to say this whole thread 
has really taken me by surpriseit seems that everyone is out 
to vilify VEOH.look I don't like what they did but you head the 
nail on the head when you talk about ALL the sites that are 
infringing..in various ways...

What I don't get and maybe someone can explain this to me in a simple 
manner, (I am not a real tech guy, I know enough and am learning but 
on a thread like this I realize how much I don't know.) I put my 
videos out, what is to stop someone from putting my RSS feed into a 
site without my knowledge and how does that site know it's not me?  
What is to stop someone from uploading my video to "YouTube" and have 
it link back to "their" site?  How does a site that gathers 
video "control" that?  You can have all the "opt in" you want but by 
putting our video out there we all take the risk of 
someone "highjacking" our stuffdon't we?

[videoblogging] Re: How Much Time Do You Spend Editing?

[hpbatman7]

It varies with me, it depends on "what" I am vlogging, this bit I 
did, Magic Eight Ball, I filmed and edited in under an hour, but I 
had a really good idea in my head of how I wanted the "finished" 
video to look, the filming probably took about 20 minutes total (with 
a couple of reshoots) and the editing about 30 minutes (which 
includes the time to import the video into my program)  I use Sony 
Vegas (the "lite" version, it cost me about 60 bucks)  You can see 
that video here. http://blip.tv/file/get/BatmanGeek-
MagicEightBall238.mov

This one took a bit longer because I went over to a friends house to 
have some fun and to just show "geeks" as they are, I probably took 
about 45 minutes of footage or so, ( I was there longer) and it did 
take me about 30 minutes to edit (not including the time to import 
the video) because I had more "footage" to go through...you can 
check it out here http://blip.tv/file/get/BatmanGeek-GeekDay587.mov


I am learning NOT to film everything that makes editing a lot easier, 
at least when you are doing a "bit" but that gets harder when you are 
just videoing for the heck of it and then decide to make it a 
vlog..I have found though don't be afraid to edit, as long as 
the "meat" is there they will "get" it.

btw I am still learning my way around with Vegas but I really like 
it.

those who have worked very hard to "index" all those who are

You're right we don't "really" know anything about youexcept

As an observation only, I find it interesting that for someone who

I found nothing seriously distatasteful about the VLOGGERS UNITE

Interesting commentI struggle myself when posting comments to 
the group.  That is the maddening thing about "email" you 
never "hear" the intent behing the question or the comment.  
Something that sounds perfectly fine in your head sometime comes 
across as mean or just plain studid..

Now I will say I don't like it myself when someone posts a bunch of 
messages saying look at meI ignore those completly.  And trust me 
I want as many people to come to my vlog as possible but I don't 
think you will get many "visitors" by being annoying. (or at least 
the being pecieved as annoying)

I do agree with Stepanine in that I feel that this group is very open 
and receptive but it is hard for a "new" vlog to find it's place.  
But I have to remind myself, I have only been doing this since 
December of 2005, I am not even 6 months into this process.  And 
there are a bunch of "vlogs" coming out everyday.  I think in some 
ways people see this as "the next big thing" and if that is "why" you 
are doing thisyou may suceed but you may not.Me this is 
something I have always wanted to do..I'm an extrovert (I think 
that is how you spell it) so putting myself "out there" is nothing 
new.  I have been doing that all my life, now I just let everyone 
else see how goofy I am...

I vlog because it is fun..I do want people to watch,... I am not 
going to lie and I want to do other things as well.  But for me this 
is a learning experience, this medium can be so powerful not because 
it can topple goverments or bring out the "truth" but by showing 
each other how much we have in common, that is what will break down 
barriers.IMHO...  GeezI sound like a liberal  ;)

I agree, a closed system no matter who it is from creates problems

Thanks for the tip on when I do some traveling..I am going on a 
few trips this year so...

Still if any Vloggers plan on doing something like a VloggerCon in 
Chicago, Indy, Michigan anywhere in the MidWest that would be great!!

PS  I have been spreading the word as much as I can, but if you have 
ever heard the old joke about CincinnatiMark Twain once said when 
the end of the world happens he wants to be living in Cincinnati 
because we are always ten years behind the rest of the world 
(something to that effect) But I am out there trying..  :)

I became numb reading the comic.it was very good stuff and 
it really does highlight what is wrong with the current copyright

all of us can make it there.  So I was wondering how often "vloggers" 
get together and "where" the popular spots for those get togethers 
seem to be.  The reason I am asking is that I live in Cincinnat, the 
hotbed of the video revolution.I am kidding of course.  
Actually as of this moment I think I am Cincinnati's ONLY active 
vlogger..sad I know.  

Anyway I would like to meet some fellow vloggers through get 
togethers, online chat, whatever..So if anyone or anyones would be 
so kind to let me know I would forever be in your debt.OK not 
really but I would REALLY appreciate it.

Has anyone ever done a tutorial on how to go about getting

be nice.

[videoblogging] Re: What makes a "good" vlog?

[hpbatman7]

I really didn't mean to open a can of worms and like someone else 
pointed out I "could" have said what make a vlog popular.  My intent 
was just to see if there was a standard and if so why.  Based on all 
the comments it just seems to be "No" there is no standard which is 
great because I know "good" is a very subjective term, and I guess in 
my somewhat shallow way of thinking sometimes good=popular, which I 
know is not entirely true but hey, like I said sometimes I am 
shallow.  ;)  But also I was hoping people would point me to the 
stuff "they" like to help expand my horizon so to speak.  Because I 
will say this there is a lot of stuff and trying to sort through it 
all can make for a long day  :)

The audio and video is really choppy, I have a 3mb connection so I

[videoblogging] Re: What makes a "good" vlog?

[hpbatman7]

True...but you could also make the same argument about "popular" 
as well...and I guess in my limited way of thinking sometimes I 
equate good as popular, which is stupid and limiting I know but hey I 
am working on it  :)  

And I've learned I need to be a "bit" clearer in my thought process 
sometimes..although were is the fun in that.  ;)

Although I am glad people did give me examples of vlogs they like 
etc, I will have plenty of stuff to look at this weekend.

I know it's subjective, and I agree that when you get caught up in 
whats "good" or "bad" it is all a matter of opinion, I guess for me, as 
someone new, I just wondered, if there was a standard and if so 
why..

being a comic geek, we have these sort of "debates" all the time and 
personly I enjoy it because it forces my out of my comfort zone, to 
explore thoughts, opinion's, attitudes, etc that under normal 
circumstances I would never get exposed to.  I find that 
interesting..of course I may be the only one  ;)

That's interesting..funny is important to me as well but not 
as important as I orginaly thought. And sometimes I like ordinary not

why I kinda like "the ordinary", but I agree that after a while..

I would think the opposite would be true, at least for me, and don't 
you think that in a way you do get to know people from there vlogs?  
Especialy if they do share their lives.

[videoblogging] What makes a "good" vlog?

[hpbatman7]

I know I am opening a can of worms here (so to speak) and I may 
annoy some people with the question but.What makes a "good" 
vlog?  

I know that question is very subjective but I am new to all of this, 
just started at the end of December and I have been trying to find 
as many vlogs as possible.  I have been to mefeedia, vlogdir, and of 
course just some old fashioned searching.  I have found some I like, 
some I love and some.  What's weird is that I am more drawn 
to things I never thought I would be, people and places, that 
probably under normal circumstances, I wuouldn't give 2 seconds to 
but now...

I never saw myself as a "reality" person...maybe because 
the "reality" that regular TV trys to feed us, feels 
soUNreal.

Now for me I like a mixture of stuff, ordinary, mixed with 
creativity, maybe because that is what I hope to accomplish on a 
regular basis.  I also love the man on the street kinda things, 
inteviews and such (something I hope to get more comfortable doing)

Here are a few of the vlogs I visit, 
http://missbhavens.blogspot.com/
http://www.bicycle-sidewalk.com/
http://unholyknight.com/vlog/index.php
http://joshleo.blogspot.com/

I am just curious what other vlogs people think are good and why.

Which was kinda my point from my orginal post that was somewhat taken 
out of contextit is young "now" but will it still be in 5 
years...I keep saying this but it seems to get drowned out.I 
mean bands, comedians, and now filmmakers are putting there stuff out 
in myspace to build buzz, promote feedback and to try thinngs 
out.wouldn't vlogging just be an extension of that?

[videoblogging] Re: myspace video

I agree to some degree, I think it depends on if Myspace evloves or 
not, in it's current form you will outgrow it...but if grows and 
becomes a "true" social networking site then who knows..personaly 
I doubt it will evlove but..

I can't speak to Facebook but personaly I would like to have a site 
where you "feel" apart of a bigger community.  I have a cirle of 
friends here where I live but when I go to shows (Comic Conventions, 
Wizard World, Dragon Con) I connect with a whole other sect of people 
who are "into" the same things I am and it's fun.  I mean heck that 
is one of the reasons I am vlogging, to hopefully meet other people 
who "like" the same things I do..

[videoblogging] Re: myspace video

[hpbatman7]

I like your metaphor here and I do think it has merit, vlogging is 
still pretty new as well and who knows where it will lead but as 
others have said if you are looking at increasing your audience 
Myspace can not be ignored.  However, I do think that the age group 
is young but.and this is a big but.what if they continue to 
use it after High School and College?  Don't forget that this service 
is still pretty new in the big scheme of things, it could evlove into 
something vastly different than it is today.

But again who knows and I do think we need to be open to various 
ideas and ways to blog,vlog or whatever.

[videoblogging] Re: myspace video

[hpbatman7]

I think by the very nature of how "big" myspace is would help 
vlogging 
  
I mean  I think vlogging is about expressing yourself, and who is to 
say what is right or wrong about your expression (within reason of 
course)some of my vlogs are just about my everyday life and some are 
creative outlets.  So am I a vlogger or an "artist" promoting his 
work? And "could" myspace allow me to do both?  Honestly, I don't 
know but just based on the amount of conversation this has been 
generating I would have to say yes. But who really knows?  Myspace 
may be forgetten in a year by the next big thing.

It's an interesting question and debate and one I suspect that will 
be ongoing for a while

[videoblogging] Re: Will people buy subscriptions

[hpbatman7]

I agree, it may work but I don't think there is a market yet 
for "paid" podcasts or vlogs for that matter.  Just think, how MANY 
shows do you listen to or watch and would you be willing to shell out 
7 bucks here, 4 bucks, there and so on.  I am sure there is a market 
to make money at podcasting and vlogging for that matter but I am 
just not sure HOW or WHEN that can happen. (Rocetboom is getting paid 
to advertise so I don't quite include them in this case because their 
content is still "free")  Maybe something similer to satilite 
radio.who knows.  Wish them luck but my gut feeling is that it 
will fail. People only have so much money set aside for "reoccuring" 
bills..

Not slamming them in any way, I think Blip is great they do a

all, I should have said that in the orginal post didn't think about

[videoblogging] tracking site views

[hpbatman7]

I have a question that may have been asked before but I did a search 
and did not see anything.  Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could 
recomend a "hits" counter/viewer, so I could see how many people are 
visiting my vlog.  It is purely just out of curisioty, right now.  I 
have seen some other vloggers with a lot of detailed information on 
there site and I know I'm not quite there yet but I want to learn as 
much as I can.  

Thanks for your time

[videoblogging] question about sony vegas software

[hpbatman7]

I am pretty new to all this and I have been doing a bit of 
experimenting with different compression settings.  I use Sony Vegas, 
the under $100 one (Vegas Movie plus DVD) I have noticed that when I 
compress my movie in the .mov format under the 512kps setting, I get a 
lot of artifact movement, when use any transistion effects.  Are there 
any "tweaks" I can do to help get rid of this?

Thanks

[videoblogging] New vlogger

[hpbatman7]

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself...I am pretty new to 
all of this, just under a month.  Now I could bore you all with a bunch 
of stuff or I could just ask you all to check out my vlog at 
http://batmangeek7.blogspot.com  The title says it all, doesn't 
it?  ;)  Any way I am glad to be a part of the group and I am sure I 
will have questions in the near future and I hope to be able to provide 
answers someday myself.  I hope to hear any thoughts or suggestions 
anyone may have on how I can improve my vlogs, so please feel free to 
comment, good, bad, indifferent, hey it's the only way you learn. :)  

Thanks!
