The Year of Vlogging Dangerously by the XerialKiller

You may have listened to a Nutty Debate or two in which we had the  as one of our debaters.  This year for 2012 he has decided to do a VLOG a day, that’s right, everyday he will VLOG.  (What is a VLOG, you might ask?  It’s a video blog, a video journal, a video diary, a guy who films himself rambling about what he did that day.)  While I often don’t watch many VLOGS, they keep me tied to a computer (or iPad, or other device that supports youtube video) I do check them out from time to time.  I don’t see yet why this is a VLOG over a podcast because there isn’t much to see other than his head… well there is that happy fat Buddha in the background, but it’s a short VLOG so it holds my attention.  Have I mentioned I have ADD?  I do, and not in the turn of phrase I have ADD because I get distracted but in the clinical sense, I have ADD, my mind works differently and I use that to my advantage but it often makes me rambly and easy to distract.

Anyway, go check out his channel, watch the videos, they are kinda fun and I’m waiting for him to do some crazy things on camera, because he can.  You will notice he isn’t swearing much, but if he does swear random words like taco and potato aren’t covering his swears, so dad.  (I mention this because XK is the guy who recorded all my swear word covers for Nutty Bites.)

Below is the first VLOG from January first, he has now done 11 of them (as I write this, and as I publish it he should have done 12, yes, I am prewriting this, muhahahaha!) and I can’t say that any one is tied to another, nice and random, just how I like it.  Also, XK taunts me in one of his videos calling carbonated beverages “pop” he is wrong, it is soda.  (Yes I know it is pop to some and soda to others and some odd folks call all walks of carbonation coke, but it is soda to me and the one time I called it pop I felt dirty)

PS: I find the idea that his project can easily be referred to as VD (Vloging Dangerously, dropping the rest of it, it makes sense in my head so just go with it) highly amusing and would love if that abbreviation catches on.
