About a Vlog

Julian Sanchez begins to explore--quite successfully, I'll add--the real potential of political vlogging (still the worst bit of terminology to gain significant traction on this here web thing--even worse, I think, than "liberaltarian"). I've been playing with various prosumer and home-level digital video editing tools for 7 or 8 years now, and I've wondered when this sort of thing would take off. For a long time, it's been too technical, too time-consuming, and/or too expensive to do at the no-budget blogger level, and though it's still not exactly a snap (you can write a blog post in just a few minutes; a vlog like Julian's is bound to take at least a couple of hours), it's gotten to the point where it's doable, at least for full-time stay-at-home writers like Sanchez. Anyway, good show; it may be time for me to start trying something like this (after, of course, I finish the stack of books I'm supposed to read and numerous essays and articles I'm supposed to write over the next few weeks).
