Painfully Intrigued by Video Blogging
I got sucked into the vortex that YouTube tonight, and I decided I should try my hand at video blogging. So I logged in and fired up the ole webcam and … Somehow talking to my self on the computer didnt seem so fun anymore.
I watch these videos and I really want to contribute. The problem is I am a performer, I really get going when I interact with people. And sitting here by myself, that is just not happening. So what do you do? My first thought is to get a buddy on video chat and try to record our conversation. But from my few podcast attempts I realized that there may not be enough interaction in that either. So what do I do? Set up a room at my house and have tech buddies over to BS so I can feel comfortable enough to actually say something funny?
Is pretending you have a crowd a trait that can be learned? I just dont know. I just need my buddy Randy from Bend to come around. He always gets my fired up. I need a poster board cut out of Randy that I can shoot the shit with. Hmmm…. I think i am gonna have to run that by him and see what he thinks
To bad he is not answering his IM right now. That would save me some trouble. Now what will I do. I think I am going to try to record the content of this post as a vlog.
We will see how that goes ![]()

Is it the Randy or the beer?
Yeup, I would have to agree that he has that affect on people. Myself included which is part of why I actually look forward to going to work everyday! The man is “fun” just waiting to happen.
I might be able to help you with the faux Randy… what sort of pose do you prefer? I have a wide selection of potentially embarrassing and/or flattering poses, depending on your mood. You can see some of them here: http://tinyurl.com/yoajfy (Personally I am partial to the middle one, hee!)
Shhhh… just don’t tell Randy I offered!
