vlogs - HUH?

OK - well - I just finished reading Blogging + Video = Vlogging from Wired News - and my first reaction (which is also my initial reaction for blogging I will add) was "Who has time to do these things!!!" - is it their job? Do they have a very simple life, no family, don't sleep? I just can't figure it out? I am interested in all sorts of stuff and would love to keep up with lots of these things - but where in the world do you find the time??

OK - so that was my initial reaction - and still really my primary reaction - but then I went into Steve & Carol's vlog mentioned in the article - watched one short vlog from their yard sale - and I have to say - I feel this whole connection - and now I want to bond with them! So - now I will find the time to at least see what these two individuals are up to! There is surely a more productive way I can spend my newly alloted vlog review time - but hey - they were the first vlog for me ever - so now they are on my list!

In terms of the idea of the vlog itself - and I suppose I should relate this to education and/or learning - sure - there can be huge benefit here - we can actually see what we are learning - see who we are learning from/with etc. That could all be great - assuming people have video cameras and a clue as to how to do this - I don't...but I don't really know how to use my digital camera all that well either! Seems I am great with technology - but not so great with any portion of it that involves the firing of the creativity factor (not my strong point!)
