For those of you who might be interested, I'm keeping a personal blog now. The address is easy to remember because it's just my name:

Items that aren't much related to video, I'll put there. I have many interests, and I feel compelled to share more than video online.

For example, one of my first posts is called "Six Reasons to Build a Second Income Online." If you're interested in building income from an online presence, you might want to take a peek.

You've probably never seen a wedding video like this before!

Make sure you keep watching until they start dancing...

What a great idea! Although ... I can't help but wonder how they did the dance practice while also prepping for the wedding.

Candid video can be entertaining because of the raw emotion you sometimes get.

I love what Josh Leo does as he proposes to his girlfriend. It's funny and moving. As an audience, we see the raw authentic emotion.

It's hard to get this type of thing in a studio environment!

By the way, congratulations, Josh, on your recent engagement.

Ugh!

Time is going by too quickly.

And yet life is better now than it has ever been.

So that's pretty good.

I checked the download stats this morning and saw that we're just over 1.6 million downloads of our podcasts with Glimpster. It won't be long before we hit 2 million downloads.

That fact blows my mind.

Once again, our video podcasts are an example of how easy it is to distribute content online. How much would it cost via the old media to distribute shows 1.6 million times? I have no idea what the answer to that is, but my guess is that it's more than we're currently paying.

The web hosting we use at Dreamhost to host the websites is inexpensive and reliable. The bandwidth we get from Libsyn is extremely inexpensive, and we host all the video files there. All together, I think we're spending maybe $50 per month. That's an extremely low price to pay to get content to hundreds of thousands of people.

This is a new world we're living in. Frankly it's a world where your voice can be heard.
