A Ten Year-Long Finish Line

At the time of this writing, tomorrow will mark the end of my husband’s 10 year-long vlogging journey. He has aimed a camera at himself every day for ten years straight, marking his thoughts in a video diary without fail. No matter how mundane, no matter how trivial, and with almost no filter and entirely no script.

And I have to admit, I’m relieved.

So, my husband and I have this YouTube channel thing.

Complete with some seriously snappy logo art.

I was pretty skeptical about the idea, to be completely blunt. There’s myriad Let’s Play videos on YouTube and many more of them are far cleverer and more interesting than I believe myself to be. That said, I agreed to the idea on the strength of my husband’s very obvious enthusiasm and the hopes that his accent would be more interesting to hear than my own fat face. About two months removed from our launch, I think I can outline my thoughts on the project at this early stage.
