A brave commitment to videoblogging

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I’ve been thinking for a while that I’d like to do more video blogging, so with this post I am forcing my own hand.  I know lots of people are already doing this so I should probably explain my motivation:

Anyone who starts their own business can probably tell you how easy it is to let it consume your life, and your time.  I wanted a project that would get me into the habit of reclaiming some time during the day/week to do something I enjoy and learn along the way.

So starting from Monday I am aiming to upload a new video every weekday.  At the least I want to upload 5 videos a week.  I am going to try and make this last for 4 weeks.  Then, in all probability, it will stop.

Don’t expect high production values, snappy editing or anything longer than 5 mintues – think more 2-3.  I will be recording as I go so feel free to comment on them and get involved, your interaction will make it a lot more fun for me.

Topics will be whatever is buzzing round my head that day, though I do have a few in mind.

Wish me luck – if I pull this off we’ll all probably be a bit surprised.
