A Dose of Reality & Another Great Day on the Road

A set-back for the road trip group, as we lose two traveler. Despite the set-back we have a great visit to Hearst Castle and continue our trek through California's Central Coast.

Back on the Road... and going wine tasting

The vlogger's caravan makes a stop in the northern Santa Barbara County wine region of Foxen Canyon where theFrozenGhost, 21stCenturyCat, and I review the wines of Fess Parker.

A Short Copyright Side Note...

My friend, PappyStu, is in danger of losing his YouTube account right now over some copyright violation claims - a couple of them probably legitimate, but at least one that's a bit dodgy, to say the least. This video is for him... (and then back to the road trip).

Road Trip! Starting up the Coast

Following the L.A. weekend, the vlogger's caravan starts north and pulls into Santa Barbara.

Road Trip! Weekend in West Los Angeles

Over the course of this next week, I'll be vlogging from the "Vlogger's Caravan 2010: The Rolling Vlogger Review" or some such thing. Basically, seven of us who met through YouTube heading up the California Coast. But it begins with a quick weekend on L.A.'s West Side; dinner Saturday at Barney's Beanery, then a gathering on the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday afternoon.

Michael Lydon - Musician, Journalist, Cool Dude

Another YouTube meet-up vlog, this time having a chat with Michael Lydon, who was visiting Berkeley from New York. Michael was one of the founding writers/editors for Rolling Stone magazine. In this video I ask him about that period and hear some stories of life on the road with the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones.

Am I Boring You?

A message received on YouTube this morning from a "vlogging n00b" asked for advice on how a boring person can make videos? Was he implying that I'm boring? Hmmm...

Groovy Thursday Song

Yeah, I'm posting it on Friday, but I wrote and recorded the song yesterday, and didn't do the visual portion till this morning. It's just a silly song parody, not quite sure of what though... Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, the Ken-r-Beats! (for more "music" click here).

Census Vlog

Filling out the 2010 Census and thinking about what I've learned about my family by looking at the 1910 Census on Ancestry.com.
