Back in June there was a brief puzzled exchange on the yahoo “videoblogging” mailing list about the idea of buying hotdogs in cans. At the time I had a couple of cans in the kitchen cupboard, and I vowed to make a videoblog about it. On the 21st June I recorded myself “cooking” some of these hotdogs, but it has taken me a month to get around to editing and uploading a watchable video.

I know everyone else has long forgotten about this, but it is one of the encouraging things about “the long tail” that even a video like this might eventually be of interest to someone, if it’s available for long enough.

Another staple videoblogging technique that I’ve not really tried yet. The “ruminate to camera while driving”.

I had my little camera with me while I was heading to ASDA for some grocery shopping, so I thought I’d record a few thoughts about videoblogging.

Sorry about the background noise, I was driving my little Seat Arosa at about 70mph, so there’s quite a lot of tyre noise and rumble transmitted through the steering wheel to the camera clutched against it. In an ideal world, I guess I’d get some sort of “hands free” mounting. I hope the speaking is still understandable, though.
