    I watch all your videos Mike, and I often makes comments. (so get off my back man!) hahaha

    Dylan going off to college is pretty amazing to me too. But in the past 18-20 years I hear that Q107 is still playing the exact same songs! :-D

    You guys should seriously check out Skype for your long distance family chats. Great quality, does video too, and great file transfer speeds as well.

    Cheers!

    +1 on the watched the vlog. I check them all out, and actually, your the only vlog I follow so it makes it all the more unique and interesting for me.

    As for editing, I know how that can be. When we got back from vacation we ended up with over 5 hours of DV and since it would be painful for our family and friends to be subjected to watching it all I wanted to trim it down to about 1 hour, encompassing all the best and leaving out all the cruft that’s really only interesting to the 4 of us that were there. It ended up taking me about 2.5 weeks, working on it an hour here and three hours there. I did it all professional-like and the end result came out awesome - iMovie’s capabilities never fail to surprise me.

    All that said, I don’t think I want to edit any video for another year or two. I was all hyped about it in the beginning, and as I was finishing off the last few bits of soundtracks and still image includes, as well as adjusting volume levels, fixing broken transitions, etc etc (ahhhh!) I was glad to finally hit the render button and be done with it.

    Oh, and I’ll also recommend Skype - we chat with friends in South Korea all the time using it and it too never fails to amaze me - with a good net connection on both ends even the video is excellent.
