Decline in posts to Yahoo Vlogging Group

hermit@irishhermit.com (Irish Hermit) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:46:00 +0000

I just posted this on the Yahoo Vlogging Group:

I've noticed that I don't get as much email from this group that I
use to, so being really bored tonight I looked at the home page for
this group to check on the number of posts. Seeing a large decline
in posts over the last year, and being too much of a geek, I decided
to plot the posts vs. months in a spreadsheet and graph it. The
graph is at: http://tinyurl.com/5jcwgo

Our monthly posts are now at the same level they were when the group
started four years ago. So, a few questions come to mind:

Are people vlogging more, but posting less?
Are people leaving the group?
Like me, have you become a lurker, not a poster?
Did you loose interest in vlogging?
Or, just don't have the time to keep it up?

I started off all gung-ho a few years ago, but with family
obligations, job, etc. just don't have the time to vlog these days.

Just a few thoughts.

All the best,
Tom aka Irish Hermit

Wild Turkeys

Wild Turkeys

These wild turkeys are living in my neighborhood. They make a mess out of the lawn, get into the garbage and generally upset the dogs. They were hanging out in my backyard until my dog, Sam King Of The Backyard, chased them away.

First video of the year. Sam playing in the backyard. After a hiatus of almost a year, I'm finally getting my act back together. While this is a pretty simple video it's a start. Today was one of those days when I just wanted to tape something and post it.

Recently I was asked to translate an earlier satire on Rocketboom into French. I did this by first translating the script into French at the Google language tools web site: http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en Then I used the Natural Voices demo on the AT&T Labs site to turn the text into speech: http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en Finally I pulled the audio clips into Premiere Pro and adjusted them as best I could to line up with the original speech.
