vlog - doesn't roll off the tongue like blog...

I was searching around the 'net for some things about Ben Folds (can't get enough of the guy) when I happened upon a fellow blogger on blogspot:

katelink.blogspot.com

So there wasn't exactly a huge amount of BF stuff on her site (just a small video clip), but I found the idea of video-logging, or vlog, very interesting. I was thinking to myself: "I like video editing, it's good fun and I've done some in the past - might give it a go."

And Katelin (I think that's the blogger's name) had pointed out a coupld of other vlog sites, which I proceeded to click into and have a look. I didn't view the videos bar one, and that alone gave me an idea of what people might seeing or are interested in. It wasn't anything fancy, didn't require actors, etc etc, it was basically a blog in video form. Sweet. Well, I've got the tools to do vlogs, so watch out for some in the future - just don't expect them to be any good.


Onto other things, it's been pretty hot and stuffy for the past few days here in London. I bought myself a fan last Monday and have left it on day and night - I don't think if turned it off for more than 10mins. It's kinda helping although more often than not it's moving the hot air around in my room, rather than providing a refreshingly chilling air flow (unless you stand right next to it).

Oh and am going to another Ben Folds concert - Brixton Academy, London, on 13th Dec. 2005 - I've always wanted to see the man play live and this year I get to see him twice - absolutely awesome!! I really can't wait - want to get the early too as it's stalls standing and presumably 'first-come-first-served' for standing nearest the stage. This time, I'm taking my digicam, even if the Brixton Academy website says that they will take all recording devices away. We'll see what we can do... big baggy jumper or something like that...

ummm... played some badminton on Friday - first bit of proper exercise in 5 weeks (I was on travels for three of them, excused myself for one week, and got lazy for another). Was good bit of running about but I really need some new trainers because I kept slipping around - totalling not safe, especially when I want to change directions suddenly - might twist something untwistable. snap!

Can you tell I'm struggling to write anything vaguely interesting? I thought that I should post up something. Aah yes, was thinking about getting a cheap/old iPaq for GPS and wirelessness, but decided against it as it won't be used for anything else - maybe when they get dirt cheap and people are paying the buyers to take them away.
Erm... watched some Ben Folds videos - a load I've not seen before - worth checking out if you're a fan, and even so if you're not - I recommend Riverfest selection in either case:

Cool - that'll do for now - I think I'll get some tea (it's 12:35am here in UK, so that's tea as in drink, not food). Or seeing as I've a load of bananas that are going off plus I have a carton of custard some place in my room and I've got some cheap-immitation Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, I could make myself ill and combine them all together... O.D. on sugar. Lovely.
