I made a video!

I just created a video for StumbleUpon Comments and TaggZilla on using the StumbleUpon toolbar!

Do I sound excited? I am. I've never really made a video before...not one that required more than "okay, let's snip the movie here because earlier you moved the camera so much you'd get everyone carsick (my husband's opinion of my videotaping)...and end it here, where J's sticking out his tongue at the frog. Now save it and we're done." I did this one in Powerpoint, which is a program I've also never used before but overall I think/hope it turned out okay. I'm sure after I've done more, I'll look back at this one and think how awful it is, but right now I'm just proud I got it done.

I'll be posting the video soon, along with a transcript. As a southerner living in the north, I've learned that writing goes a LONG way toward mutual understanding...consider this conversation I had at a restaurant recently:

Me, giving my husband's name for them to call (give them my name? Are you kidding??? We'd be there all day): It's Ken.

Them: Okay, Keene. Got it, it'll be 5 minutes.

Me: No, it's (slowly) Ken.

Them: Okay, Keane. Got it.

Me: K...E...N

Them: Keen. Okay, we'll call you when your seat is ready.

There are days I really miss living in the south! :)
