Que es?
The Weblog of Brett Singer. Bringing the world what it needs most - a blog.

Note: Sorry about all of the 'hot deals' entries (someone referred to this blog as CorporateShill.com).
The deals and things are being fed into Multineedia.com. We will soon move the deals category over to Multineedia so you don't have to read it, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

    Vlog, or whatever

    After making a short film for the Howard Stern Film Festival (I'll release it once I hear whether or not I'm a finalist), I decided to check out what people are doing with online video shorts, starting with Video Blogs.

    This playlist has a bunch of stuff so I figured I'd start there.

    After watching just a little bit of the playlist, I have a question: what are these vlogs, or whatever they're called? Personal accounts of various stuff? Creative and/or experimental films? There may not be any real parameters, but unlike the numerous text-based blogs that keep being created (69 new blogs per minute according to this post, and that was in 2005), making a video blog requires some moderate skill, or at least a willingness to do more work than just typing away (sometimes incoherently). Maybe one day everyone will have a camera in their home and we can all watch whenever we want to (Rudy Rucker wrote about that way back in the 1980's).

    The idea of a blog that offers original videos by the creator, on a regular schedule (once a week/month/day, whatever works) is intriguing to me. The idea of personal entries is about as appealing to me as homepages that feature pictures of your cat.
