Okay… this video kinda sucks… but I’m not doing it again… everyone is/was asleep so I couldn’t talk too loud or be expressively “me”… either way… Testicle talk included at no extra charge.
the simple ramblings of a boy…

[Okay… I’ve reworked this a bit since the first time I wrote it… title included. I hope it makes more sense now]
When you go to watch a video post on someone’s VOX, how much or how little does it bother you when the video doesn’t start playing right there in the person’s blog, but instead launches a new window and plays at the video-sharing site where the video was originally posted?
There are better quality video hosting sites than iFilm and YouTube out there that are not VOX compatible but are compatable with other blog platforms (that allow unanamous comments — which is why I use them too). Instead of having to upload videos to multiple video sharing platforms to satisfy multiple blogs, would you mind if, instead of the video playing right in VOX, you were redirected to another site (VideoEgg, Revver…) to watch the video?
Any and all feedback would be appreciated… Also, it’d be great it if anyone would be willing to pass this question along… I’d be curious to see what as many people as possible thought. It will help inform how/where I’ll post videos in the future.
Thanks.

Well here it is… my first video post in all it’s non glory. I mentioned earlier this week that I was planning to do a video post sometime this week so I figures I should slide it in before midnight strikes here to stay true to my word…
Please don’t expect a lot from this video post… it’s a first for me… the lighting sucks… my hair sucks… I really should have shaved… it’s not glamourous by any means… I almost rerecorded it but that would kinda defeat part of what I would like to do with my posts which would be to stay as true as possible to the moment at hand. I will lose my train of thought. I will stutter. I will get flustered. I will laugh at myself. I will annoy myself… but I will be myself.
This is steelie’s first video post… it is far from perfect… but it’s here.
Feedback and constructive criticism appreciated.

PS: I’m tentatively planning my first video post to be this week.
My New Year resloution is a simple general ideal with no real detailed plan of action…
I just want to be happy this year…
I want to keep on with all the things that make me happy and work at the things that don’t. I wish nothing but the best for anyone and everyone — everywhere.

Oh… and attept a video blog in the new year too… yeah…
I’ve known for a while that I could successfully make a nine-foot standing jump. This video clip, however, is the first time I’ve been able to see myself do it… which is cool because I can now see where I can improve. My upper body is quite stiff throughout the entire jump and I don’t actually get much vertical in the middle.
Still fun to see though.
