Alright. Happy Thursday just was not working out the way I had hoped. Made more sense in my head than really seemed to resonate, so I’m not going to keep it up. (Though I still wish all of you in the blogosphere a very Happy Thursday!)
But I like the idea of hosting some kind of weekly feature, and was trying to think what I really want to see or work on. And it hit me: video. I really want to get more into the habit of using my video camera, both as a skill-building exercise and as a way to actually document my kids and how fast they’re changing.
So, starting next week, I want to do a weekly video post, and I would love to have people play along on their own blogs. Sometimes I might add a topic or challenge for people, but most often it will be kind of free-form. Just a good excuse to document our kids and our lives in motion and sound! As you may have noticed, I started this week with a little pirate action. Next week, I’ll add Mr. Linky and you can all join in!
The clips don’t have to be long or fancy. It doesn’t matter what kind of camera you use, whether it’s the one built into your digital still camera, or some high-end thing to make the rest of us look bad. (If you are in the market, I’ve heard good things about the Flip, and Amazon is having a bit of a deal on accessories this week.)
The place where I’m really stuck is a name for this thing! So if you have any clever ideas for a name for the new feature, please leave them in the comments! And get those cameras warmed up for next week…
I think this is a great idea. I especially like the idea of having challenges. I am hoping this will get me motivated to use my camera more often and actually post the stuff to my blog on a more regular basis. As for name ideas, sorry, I got nothin’. But, I will think on it.

I vote for “Just Vlog It”, mostly because I like made up words.

Think the names above ALL sound good!
You know, I have yet to post a video, and we have a Flip (which we like very much…) You may just inspire me to action!
