I know that several people have replied to this already, but I thought I'd comment on this particular bit. One of the most astonishing things to me about videoblogs is the way that they can show what life is really like elsewhere. TV is neck-deep in Hollywood glossiness and all the cliches and conventions that accompany it. What's missing is information about real lives. Sure your life seemms dull TO YOU. You see it every day! I bet your life is different to my life, though, in ways that might surprise and interest both of us. For example, I really enjoyed "An introduction to South Range" <URL http://twocarpenters.blogspot.com/2005/10/introduction-to-south-range.html > from "two carpenters" because it shows somewhere very unlike where I live. The little things like they have no postal delivery (so no letter boxes on the houses, I guess), there seem to be no fences between the gardens (how does that work?), most of the houses seem to be made of wood rather than brick, and they have a snowmobile route to get across town. I'd have left comments and questions there but the blog is set up to only allow comments from Blogger users, and I'm not a blogger user. Shame. In short, why not try telling people a little about your life. You might be surprised just how interesting your "dull" life can be. -- Frank Carver http://www.makevideo.org.uk ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy!
