Hey Mike, I sympathize, of course, with your situation. But really, I think you are making too much of this Vlog week thing. You already say, "I vlog everyday with my Fugi Finepix E510 and Windows Movie Maker." Well maybe one time you did. Perhaps this part of your journey has made you realize how difficult that actually is. Ya just a thought.

Ben Ben Ben...Touche! I do vlog every day, but I don't post every day. Vlogging and posting aren't exclusive to each other. Vlogging is shooting and/or editing and/or uploading and/or conceptualizing and/or buying new equipment and/or going to node 101 and/or losing a USB cable on a hike and/or meeting Des in Montreal and/or dreaming of meeting Cooking Kitty Corner before it actually happens.

I do vlog every day. But I don't post every day. Nor have I ever. Nor would you ever want me to. And this (above mentioned) list of self inflicted expectations is a hard list to complete a few times a week, let alone on a daily basis! I literally had 30 minutes to create and broadband today's video. Plus I had to eat, and find parking outside futureshop, and repair a dodgey wifi connection. This is really stressful and unfun.

I really need to show you the life of a dial up videoblogger. You know what? I haven't even watched a single vlog from videoblogging week 2006. Not a single one. I'm all alone people!

To me, videobloggingweek2006 is about re-teaching myself the importance of quality over quantity.
