PRELUDE TO GARDEN VLOGGING
Tune in sometimes for the Chuck-n-Lori Backyard Program
This is just a little taste of our backyard vlogging action. On account of my leaving for Seattle in a few hours, this is all I had time to whip together. More soon - you know you want it!?
Choose your pleasure:
Quicktime 5 MB
Flash 5 MB
As always, more video fun on my videoblog Secret Vlog Injection. If you're wondering what the fuss is about with videoblogging, check out what Jay Dedman has to say. This is about connection, a connection you don't get turning on the TV or reading a newspaper. Maybe only a handful of people care what Chuck and Lori are doing our backyard, but those handful of people are the most important people in the world.

Steve is mentioned in a German vlogging article, and so is a tiny picture of me in an electric car. translated version

"MUNDANE IS THE NEW PUNK ROCK" I want that T-Shirt!

YEAH! Me too!
Lorika is getting into screenprinting, we'll give it a shot.
I'm sure you'll have one by the end of the day though. :-)
So I gotta say, we got this email at Rocketboom from an ABC affiliate reporter. He was totally dismissive of Rocketboom (of course on a day with my living green expo report). Anyway, he apologized for his tone but went on to say it's amateurish, not funny, worse than audition tapes he sees, etc. Oh - and he doesn't have time for things like blogs outside the mainstream media because that's like a major league ball player paying attention to the city leagues. And on like this.
We're really stewing about this. Fuck this guy. Fuck anyone who discounts people being real and expressing it. People are fed up with the bland, NOT FUNNY sameness of corporate media. Matt Haughey said he wasn't going to read anyone that used "MSM" again. Well, fuck that too, this is a real struggle and transition we're going through and you better believe I'm fucking going to talk about the MSM, because everywhere i turn they are mean and defensive and dismissive. To me personally, to my work, the work of my fellow bloggers and videobloggers.
Well, we're not going to stop. We're going to keep creating media, and it's going to be real. Some vlogs will have intimate audiences, some will overtake local television stations. Welcome to the jungle!

you guys made my day.
what a great video to wake up to.
(who was that guy in the background taking pictures?)
we just keep making videos.
you think TV stations are going to encourage this?
they are the priests in the temple wanting to make sure no one can read the Holy Book themselves.

"The internet? All that's good for is porn and pictures of kittys. Why would a media organization need a Web site?"
Chuck, you should post that e-mail in it's entirety. It'll make a nice epitaph in a couple of years.

"ABC affiliate reporter"
If he's so good, why isn't he national?

Ooh, if Lorika makes those shirts I would certainly wear one (and pay for the privilege).
I love your backyard, btw.

1. I WANT THAT T-SHIRT TOO! Just two days ago, in a film review, I wrote "it has become exciting, moving and even revelatory to witness the mundane," but your version says the same thing even better.
2. I do think you should publish that e-mail in its entirety, if it strikes you as ethical. That's what you get for e-mailing derisive letters to bloggers, right? But more importantly, it might be representative of an outddated mode of thought on the edge of a paradigm shift.

(from the Phoenix airport)
I didn't create the mundane/punk rally cry, I saw it on Jay's blog. whoever said it is brilliant, but now it belongs to all of us. :-)
i'm wrestling with whether to post the email...

Lori, what kind of flowers are the carpet of flowers? They are beautiful! How long will they bloom?
Posted by: tina at May 12, 2005 6:41:15 PM
They are carpet phlox. Kind of an evergreeney low bushy thing most of the year. Only flowers in the spring. "Til maybe the end of may-ish?

Oh, my God, you guys are cute!

btw... i've had more email exchange with our ABC news man.
amazing what a little reasonable conversation will do.
he's allright. here's an excerpt:
We, in the mainstream part of this business have inflicted much of
this on ourselves. I fight such a tired, habitual, research driven system every day.
Our issues give hope to ventures such as Rocketboom.
