Seriously.
Part of it's just my natural restlessness and inability to maintain doing the same thing for a long period of time.
But another part of it is that, besides my faithful friends (thank you, Sanguine, for your consistent checking and commenting on my inconsistent reporting), no one has found this thing after a couple of years.
And that's not a great surprise. There are millions of blogs across the Internet without any real organization or connection.
But YouTube is another matter. People search for videos and find literally almost anything. Videos related to something you are already watching or other videos by the same user are highlighted across the side of the screen.
These connections have propelled over half of my 40 Cornerstone video clips to over 100 views in just a week. On the political side, my random clip that I recorded of Ron Paul on a radio show over a month ago is nearing 12,000 plays, and my recording of Mike Huckabee on NPR last night got 200 views within the first 24 hours. Even my Roller Coaster trip on the Boss (still idling at the Myspace vids) is up to 148 plays in a week (the one dud: my Coldplay stick-figure compilation, still at 7 views in 6 days).
The point is, if it's on YouTube, people find it. They really find it if it's about stuff that interests them. It would be different to "blog" in video form, and it would take more time. I fear that it would become drastically infrequent. But, admittedly, I'm hungry for viewers. And I'm already getting them without even trying at YouTube with my live shows and interviews...

I think you should go for it - you can blog more frequently on different subjects using things like this or myspace or facebook, but if there's something you really want to get out there, you can spend a little extra time to put it on youtube.
And, you're welcome. ;)

p.s.
after all, you're half the reason I know anything that goes on in the world - although being at home I see the news much more often.
That's stinkin' awesome!! You could keep this blog if you like so that you can blog without making a video. I say go for it!!
