Most Inspiring Blog Entry

March 2nd, 2008 by karenanderson and tagged ,

YouTube video diaries (vblogs) give us a glimpse into other peoples lives. These are a few glimpes that have inspired me.

Cory “MrSafetyMan” Williams, who wrote “The Mean Kitty Song” has ADD/ADHD. A few of you have been diagnosed with this “disorder”.

There is a blog tag game going around the Internet both on ordinary blogs and vblogs. If you get tagged you have to say 5 things about yourself that your readers might not know and then you have to tag 5 other bloggers to do the same. We will play this game next lesson, so spend the week thinking about what you are going to write about when you are tagged.

This is how I came across Lisa Lavie. It was so nice to come across someone with such a positive energy that is why I am nominating her for this category. If you come across a YouTube video you like, click on the name of the User who uploaded it and you will get access to their channel. If you subscribe to their channel you will be notified when they add any new videos. I’ve subscribed to Lisa’s to witness a Star in the making.

Amanda Baggs has Autism. She made a vblog to show other people her language. She can’t speak but is lucky enough to be able to type at 150 words a minute. The new technology means that now we are priviledged to have access to her world. Halfway through the video she gives us a translation using her keyboard to speak for her.

Here is her Wikipedia Entry which has a link to her excellent blog ballastexistenz

Best Music Video

March 1st, 2008 by karenanderson and tagged ,

One of the most popular uses of Youtube is watching your favorite artists. Anyone can record themselves and get a following. One of my favorite guitarists is Fretkiller. No-one knows who he is.

John Martyn will always have first place in my heart though. I’ve loved his music from the first moment I heard it.

May you never
