Wow, October seemed to go by pretty fast. The latest episode of Miscellanea was uploaded during the first week of the month, then my video camera stopped working. I went on vacation the next week, and the week after that kind of flew by. I was sick for about half a week and I got better a few days before Halloween. I only uploaded one video during the month, and I didn't post any entries on this blog at all.
November is going to be different. I'm participating in NaNoWriMo again this year. I participated in 2007 and met the goal. I started it last year, but I didn't really get into it, and I gave up on it after a week or two. This year I'm excited about it, as I've mentioned in my vlog. That's right, I'm vlogging now. I frickin' hate that word, but it's popular, people online generally know what it means, and it's hard to avoid using it. It's interesting to note, however, that while 'blog' is recognized as a valid word by many spell check programs, 'vlog' tends not to be. I suppose that will change before too long. I digress.
The vlog is starting as a video log of this year's NaNoWriMo, but it may continue after the month of November. The main factors that that is dependent on are my comfort level with vlogging after NaNoWriMo, and whether I feel I have anything to ramble at a camera about. I'm actually kid of enjoying it. It's different from making videos like the Miscellanea series. I don't like it nearly as much as doing that kind of work, but it doesn't take nearly as much time, and it's more fun than I had expected. Here are my first two vlogs:
I wasn't expecting much of a response to these, but I have already gotten some feedback from various sources. I'll probably make one every few days during the month of November.
