Teavlogs 2 & 3: "Complimenting Myself" and "Does any1 care?"

Forgot to post here, but I've made two more teavlogs over the past two weeks:

  • Complimenting Myself: one of the things that I struggle with is accepting that I'm a good person, so I talked a bit about that and also said some nice things about who I am.
  • Does any1 care?: I talk about how having an audience affects my motivation to create.

...they're fun. Making a vlog while doing something else adds visual interest, gives the vlog a natural stopping point (the tea is done and the kettle refilled), and it's just kind of fun to perform for the camera. And I pick topics I feel capable of speaking extemporaneously about - subjects I've thought through and have a pretty clear idea of what I want to communicate.

Second half is Q&A, which is awesome but mostly unrelated.

Don't Stop the Sandman

This mashup is seriously the most awesome thing I've seen all week. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] tacit! (And thanks [livejournal.com profile] nationelectric, who linked tacit's essay the other day!)

EDIT: Substitute [livejournal.com profile] remix79 in the parenthetical - goes to show why you should check your sources...
