Clint Sharp's Blog an' Vlog

Usually, we have a hard time getting shoes on Katie.  She throws an incredibly huge fit.  Today, however, we decided to take her outside for a walk and she thoroughly enjoyed it, up until the very end of course.  We ve uploaded some photos to the gallery and a video for your enjoyment.

This video makes me tear up. "I don't want to live on the moon" is her favorite song. She smiles everytime you sing it for her. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

I m making no claims as to our talent (actually, I ll vouch for the other members of the band, they re all talented ), however, here is one of our originals. Please try not to be too brutal in your comments, thanks .

I really like MXC. Don t ask me why . Anyways, this is a very amusing video. I m going to try to do a couple more of these little life snippet episodes that don t require much editing. I ve always liked these, hopefully I won t grow tired of them. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

Mark Cuban has a great post about finding the right partner for your business and accepting your faults. While I don t think you should ever stop trying to improve yourself, which in my case is attempting to be more organized, I do think he s got a very valid point in knowing when to accept your faults and make sure you re backing yourself up with a good partner. Thankfully, I think I ve found a good one with Tom, so we re covered there. The sky is the limit!

For my first video in probably 6 months, this is our daughter, Katherine Elizabeth Sharp, along with appearances from the majority of the Dickens and Sharp families, who most of you have not yet seen in my videos. Expect more to come from little Katie. This is very home movie-esque, I shot it that way, and I m really happy with how it turned out. I ve given up on caring about quality in my videos, since when I did care, I couldn t manage to produce one. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

It s been almost two months since my last video. Here s an update about what s going on. More video to come shortly, hopefully, as soon as I find some time. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

Verdi pissed me off tonight with his post to the Videoblogging Group. I love Michael; he s a great guy who gives himself fully to the community, but his attitude towards people who are looking to make money off of vlogging really grates on my nerves sometimes. It s not that these people aren t misguided, [...]

At the August 6th Meet the Vloggers, Phillip Torrone graciously agreed to show up so I could interview him. My apologies for the audio quality, I forgot to grab my iPod and lavalier mic and the wind cut feature on my camera is doing weird things with the audio. We discussed a range [...]

WARNING * Six Feet Under Spoiler in Video This video was shot immediately after the most recent Six Feet Under aired. Six Feet Under is a television show that airs on HBO (for those not in the know). The show consistently produces the best Hollywood has to offer. I spend some time [...]

On my way back from New York, my wife and I were forced to stay overnight at a hotel room in Dallas. We had one Internet connection to share between us and two laptops. I setup a ad-hoc wireless network between the two computers to share the connection, and I thought it d make [...]

The third installment in this three part episode. Enjoy. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

Second installment of Watch Life Happen, with Clint Mel, Episode 2. This is footage from Vloggercue in Hoboken, NJ at Adam Quirk s apartment. It was an excellent event, and much food, fun, and beer was had by all! Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

This is the second installment of my new video diary, Watch Life Happen, with Clint Mel. This is footage from our trip to New York. I had so much footage, I decided to split up the episode into 3 parts. This is the first installment. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

You ve been waiting for it! Here it is, the debut of our weekly video diary, Watch Life Happen, with Clint Mel. In this episode, we armwrestle. Pretty much nough said there. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

Here I do a hybridcast using my new Alesis mixing board. I show off my cheap home-made pop-filter as well. Audio turned out great. Look at the new intro and let me know what you think. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

There, it s done. I still it s largely crap, but I think the last minute additions are pretty funny. Let me know what you thought of it. Love it or hate it, give me some link love baby! Technorati Tags: Gnomedex Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

This week we re going into my pet project, MediaFeedr. MediaFeedr is a service I m going to be launching that takes an RSS feed in, scrapes the pages the links in the feed refers to and outputs RSS2 with Enclosures and Media RSS with the media it finds on the linked pages. This will go a long way to helping us all be filters for other people, since people will easily be able to link to the permalink of a blog entry and get a feed they can use in FireANT or their favorite podcatcher. This is an extension of my ideas on helping vloggers and podcasters build the web that were published as an instructional article on Videoblogging.info called Annotated Bookmarks . Watch the show, and let me know what you think (hopefully by following the instructions at the Annotated Bookmarks article ). Also, look for the premier of Watch Life Happen, with Clint & Mel next week! Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

I ve been wanting to start a new series of Shows where I cover tech topics of interest to me. Today, I m covering using your iPod as a recording device using a free distribution of Linux for the iPod called podzilla. It s very simple to install and use, and it will turn your normal headphone jack on your iPod into a Mic or Line-level recording input. Unfortunately, there s no gain control, so recordings come out a bit quiet on my microphone, but you can adjust it up a bit in post-production without distortion. It s definitely good enough for voice, not sure about music quality. Definitely worth it for an on-the-go recording solution. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

I m not really all that happy with this one, but the festival at least was interesting. The audio quality is poor, sorry. I need a better rig to do outside festival stuff like this. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

The Pacific Northwest is beautiful. This is a drive into Seattle day before yesterday. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

Six hours or so for 35 seconds of video. It was well worth it I think. I m pretty proud of this. Let me know what you think and tell me if I should be or if it s total crap (I ll accept either answer, or anything in between). I m hoping to use this when it comes time to promo clintsharp.com. Eric Rice was my inspiration for this clip. His 38 second promo video for his podcast rocks. Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

I had to happen. I ve been harping on about this for a couple of days on the list, and I figured it was time to do a Vlog entry about it. Use media how it works best, and lets make sure the tools fit that. Sorry it s so choppy, I apparantly say you know a whole fucking bunch, so I relentlessly cut that phrase out. Click here for video.

This post serves two purposes. One is to point out this video by The Political Teen from BlogNashville of Dave Winer. Dave was hosting a session called A Reasonable Disagreement, during which he had a disagreement that was anything but reasonable. The Video can be downloaded here. The original post is here, and if you have any comments please direct them there. Secondly, I m testing posting via xmlrpc to see if I can get the fix I ve added to Wordpress to do enclosures on items posted via xmlrpc.

OK, so this is just your standard rant vlog. Why does nothing stay open late? Click here for video. [ QuickTime ]

While we were rearranging the living room, I went looking for lunch. As usual, in our kitchen, there is no lunch-like food available. While doing this, I decided to clean out the freezer. As always, cleaning out something that hasn t been cleaned for some time makes for good film. Or click here to download it.

So, Adam at Bullemhead put up another of his videos of him playing guitar. I love them , and seeing as I haven t gotten around to doing one of my own yet, I figured it was time to get busy playing on camera. So, here it is. Or click here to download it.

So today, I interviewed at Microsoft. It was a lot of fun, met some really interesting people. Don t know the results yet, but I look forward to hearing back from them. Here s a vlog entry I did while walking around there and driving back and forth. A text blog entry will follow with some more details. Or click here to download it.

So, I didn t get around to coding tonight. I decided to do a vlog entry and watch The O.C. Here s our thrilling conversation at Dinner . Or click here to download it.
