Blue Gal Video Blog 3/9/09

And all the while I'm showing off how connected I am to my creative energy, my inner critic was screaming all the negative messages you can imagine. So there.

And I will have a new microphone before I do another video. That much I know.

Salon tonight 9 Eastern. Check here for the link. Hope to see you there!

Video Blog, December 8

Happy Zappadan. Salon tonight!

Vlog 9/30

Here's a link for The Big Read.

On topic must-reads about ways to fix the banking/housing debacle from Driftglass and Peter Dreier.

Vlog 9/22

Under ten minutes, gets a little personal at the beginning, but I think you guys can handle that. :)

Skype Salon tonight, 9 Eastern. Hope to see you there.

Blue Gal Vlog 7/7 - Food, muckraking, and dangers of progressivism

Bob Edwards has a great radio show with a free podcast. Well worth the listen.

And you can read about Upton Sinclair here.

Happy Monday. Remember, Salon is on vacation this month.

Rub that candle if you get impatient....

Blue Gal Vlog 2/11

Less than five minutes today because everybody's busy. If you haven't seen a video by Pam Atlas, here is one. Also, I say here that I am responding to something on her video blog which is not accurate I'm actually responding to this post on her blog.

I have had a habit in the past of not linking her but that has changed after reading that post.

Vlog for January 28

Details about the Coleman Young statements on Morris Udall are on Udall's Wikipedia page. The Kennedy implications are my own recollection, which is pretty reliable, trust this liberal old fart.

The NYFT article about Kennedy/Clinton thang is here.

Skippy and Jon Swift are spearheading Blogroll Amnesty Day this Sunday. If you want to participate, post some love for one to six of your favorite small blogs (defined as blogs with less traffic than your own) on Sunday, February 3. (Duncan honey, you're welcome to participate, too, but I wouldn't if I were you.)

Salon tonight during the State of the Union and the drinking game scorecard is here. Don't forget I can eject and ban anybody who skypes drunk though. We'll know it's time to call a cab for you when you change your skype avatar to this.

Blue Gal vlog 1/14

This is probably the last time evah that I will be this nice to Hillary Senator Clinton, so make a note of it.

When I say I base my vote for President on foreign policy, that means an AIPAC hawk wearing a Chuck Hagel mask over his/her neocon face doesn't get my vote. Certainly not in the primaries and you'll have a very hard sell in the general election, I mean that. (Yep, that's me being nice.)

Blue Gal vlog: Time Management and Blogging

Since it's about time management I've learned to arrange these in more "manageable chunks." Part one under nine minutes:



Part two eight minutes ten seconds:


On topic here's a good post on saying no from Red Fork State.

okay I lied...

Here's a video blog for today after all...



ten minutes, part two is four minutes, and you need to turn your volume down because I laugh too loudly at this hilarious book on Asperger's Syndrome.

Vlog 12/18

When I say this is just a quick vlog, I lie. But it is one minute less than last week's, so that's progress. (only 16 minutes of your life you'll never have again!)

A link to the Op Ed on licensing bloggers as journalists is here.

Steve Gilliard piece from which I read is here.

The petition against Telecom Immunity is here.

Gave up and vlogged on Mitt Romney.

Hey folks. You don't need to listen to seventeen minutes of me on Mitt Romney, etc. but do read this article, and this one, if you haven't already.

Salon tonight. Hope to see you there!

Update: Oh Dang just go read the General's "Huckabee's Jesus." Yup.

Happy Zappadan

Happy Zappadan Eve! Zappadan takes place at The Aristocrats. Send Frank Zappa stuff for inclusion in the festival to mhoback AT gmail DOT com. Details in this seven minute video.

See you tonight at Salon, I hope.

We hate it when our friends become successful

I must be getting better at this because I say what I wanted to say in under nine minutes. Watch the volume at the beginning because I blast some Morrissey.

My apologies for reading from, and linking to, my own blog. It was just easier.

And another shout out to my Algonquin Round Table: The Aristocrats,
Tengrain, Morse, Driftglass, Darkblack, Cap'n Dyke, etc. etc. etc. You're all linked on the blogroll. Love on ya.

Blue Gal vlog 11/19

Three minutes, and an excuse as to why I'm not vlogging about sex toys today (ha. that'll getcha to watch.)




The quick skinny on Loretta Nall and her sex toy campaign is here.

The show in which Morse is participating is at Smack-Mellon.

Blue Gal Vlog 11/12

So Blue Gal, even though you're in DC, are you still gonna vlog? Are we still having Salon?

OF COURSE. Don't be silly. But this one is only six and a half minutes, so you know being here is having an effect.



And after the dinner last night I had to show you guys my Postie Award from AU. I'm deeply, deeply honored.

Finally, yesterday's video blog

It's 18 minutes but I was on a roll. Too bad Google Videos was not. But finally....here 'tis. Some stories about education.



The Eclipse Program is typical of pre-school early intervention programs around the country.

More on Hoover High School football coach Rush Propst here.

John Archibald's terrific column on the Birmingham School system's "dropout factories" is here.

Blue Gal Vlog 10/29

A little unusual vlog I'm having trouble sleeping this morning and have a day away from computer to look forward to, so no time like the present, etc. First vid is me looking tired and talking hoarse (yeah Dad you don't have to worry about too much makeup in this one, but dang girl you need to stop sleepin' in your earrings) but it's short, explains where I was yesterday afternoon, and the second video. which is not me, is more about the exhibit I attended. It's 5:15 long, and if you haven't seen it I hope you will watch.

Blue Gal Vlog 10/15. 17:00? or 00:17? Take your pick.

This is seventeen minutes and directed at my fellow bloggers. Ignore at will.



But I saved the money shot for a separate vid. Seventeen seconds where I eat the sweet berry. Ha. Knock yourselves out, boys.



Salon tonight links later. xo
