This is my third video blog entry! Putfile was being screwy, so I looked for alternative hosts and came across ZippyVideos. (If you want to sign up, please let me know so I can give you a referral link. Or don’t, up to you.) Anyway, this is still in WMV format, because for some reason the MPG version I made isn’t uploading. I e-mailed the ZippyVideos people to ask about it; if I can get it uploaded I’ll mention that here. Also, I’ve updated the links to the first two entries to point to the new locations at ZippyVideos. Stuff is public at ZippyVideos, which is a little odd…people I don’t know are watching me already! Anyway, the non-ASL-literate can check below for the English translation. And yes, I know everything is a little blurry, leaving trails…I’ll have to figure that out at sometime other than 1:00 in the morning.

By the way, I also started a community on LiveJournal called signing_blogs, so join that if you’re into this kind of thing.

Added: I’ve moved my video blogs again, this time to YouTube. It is decidedly more Web 2.0 than the other two services, and it gives a 100mb upload limit instead of 20mb. And it already seems to have a lot of deaf users, which is a major plus because it helps develop the signing blog community.

Hi everybody! Tonight I’m coming to you from my guest bathroom. Why would I be doing that? Is the bathroom that pretty? No, that’s not it. There are a few different reasons. First of all, my wife is sleeping, which means that the bedroom light is off. Of course, it’s important to have good lighting for filming! The second reason - if you notice, the background is blank. Of course a dark color background is better, but for right now this is what I’ve got. And the third reason…there is no third reason! So scratch that.

If you read my blog tonight, you’re aware that my cat is sick. This is the same cat you’ve met previously, named Wu. Tonight, I’d like to introduce another cat, named Toadstool. She is the most evil cat ever!

Did you see how pissed off she got?! Did you also notice the cool page turning-effect? I downloaded a fancy program called Ulead Video Studio. The trial period is one month, and it costs $100 - yikes! We’ll see what happens. It’s midnight now, and I’d like to finish filming, publish this, and scoot off to bed. Good night!
