Beautiful Plumeria, Oahu, Hawaii, June ‘08, artistic view.
Well, a small anniversary of sort. My YouTube videos accumulated over 100,000 views! How important is that? Of course it would be better if that number was 10X or 100X bigger, but 100k is also nice. There is one thing that is a bit surprising to me, however. Most of those views come from just a single video, Hearing Test, other videos are far behind. That is not so good, since I spent only an evening working on that video, and more than several months working on the remaining 40+ videos. Amazing how those things turn out. While most videos last only 2-3 days, with some lasting perhaps weeks, the winning Hearing Test goes on and on and on. No sign of loosing popularity. I know what you think now? Why don’t you make a similar video to that one? Well, almost everything is already there. That is the difficult part. Maybe somehow I will make something in that category, but so far all ideas are not that good. What about shooting videos that nobody watches? How does that feel? Actually, to tell you the truth, it is secondary. I like to do what I do, I can travel a bit almost every weekend, I like to shoot videos outside in nice places, I like to edit, and all of my videos go through plenty of editing. Like to write all music to my videos, and will do so even more and at a higher level in the near future. Can reply to people’s comments, and watch other’s videos. Not everything looks fine, though. The submission part and the initial shock of watching your videos on YouTube that now look and sound much worse than anything you have ever seen up to this moment, this really gets you after a while. So much work vanishes in just a few minutes. And so far there has been no solution to this problem.
On a positive side, I opened an account on Twitter; you can follow me if you wish to do so:

Watching HappySlip on blog.tv tonight, many YouTube faces are popping up over there, on the other network – you might say. Is this a brand new trend? I was surprised to notice that those people look way better on blog.tv than in YouTube videos! Will write a separate blog on just that subject.
