And you thought you knew everything about Italians
Posted
It’s easy to assume that North American Italian culture is an apples-to-apples comparison to European Italian culture. And if you, like me, assumed that to be the case, you’d be wrong. I recently interviewed a Canadian named Marissa Janzen who lived for two years in Milan for The Expa...

A new year, some new goals
Posted
At the beginning of every year, I set new goals. I don’t like to call them resolutions — they just seem harder to keep to me that way. Although I kind of conflate the two in the video I made about it this week. Oops. Anyway, I’m getting back in the saddle with my videos. I don’t...

YouTube tags: I totally did one
Posted
I’ve long been fascinated by the YouTube tag phenomenon. It seems like a good device to use to make a video when you don’t have a topic you really want to discuss. And sometimes, they’re totally funny. So I totally did one. I answered the “17 random questions” tag in...

When I watch a TV show that I like, I become obsessed with it. I’ll watch it all the way through over and over again. It’s really annoying for family and friends. “What do you want to watch?” they ask “30 Rock for the tenth time!” I respond Eyes roll. I bounce ...

The challenge was that you had to post a new video each day, and if you were stumped for content, websites like Savvy Sexy Social provided prompts you could follow. My final VEDA video appears above. Below are some fur...

Last past, I talked about what I’d learned so far on my YouTube adventure. It’s only been a month since I talked about it, but I’ve already learned a ton more. I’ve really been enjoying the experience of producing content, tinkering with my format, and finding out what it ...

I need your help with some YouTubin’
One of the biggest challenges I’m finding with my weekly YouTube videos is coming up with ideas that take my content beyond, “this is what my week was like, pretty neat, huh?” #Junebarrassment month was my first crack at changing it up and keeping things interesting — not just f...

Figuring out the YooToobs
I got into YouTubing/vlogging kind of to figure it out. I’ve been at it for just over three months now, and I don’t think I’m any closer to knowing what the “secret sauce” is (Having said that, I’m really enjoying myself and the small community that seems to be...

Video scares me
Posted
When I embarked on my YouTube journey, a lot of the process involved me starting at a camera and freaking out about publishing my full-motion face on the internet. I never actually pressed the record button. I just looked at the device, and wondered what the hell I was thinking. Then I’d le...
