Schmutzie and the Palinode Start Vlogging
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Although I have done a couple of vlog-type things in the past — doing Ethel Merman impressions with a cereal- and peanut butter-encrusted puppet counts, right? — I have wanted to do more on the vlogging front (video + blog = vlog). The Palinode has done some good work with the MamaPop video roundtables, among others, so, after years of overlooking the bounty right under my nose, I finally had the good sense to ask him if he would collaborate with me on some vlogs.
Our plan is simple. You will ask us a question in the comments. It can be about anything. It can be about us, one of us, or not about us at all. Seriously, we're game. After we choose a question, we will answer it in three minutes or less and put the video up within the week.
We also haven't named this thing yet, so if you've got a snappy idea, throw that in, too.
Are you in? Bring on the questions!

I can't wait to see the premiere episode of the Schmalinodecast! *wink* I have been getting an itch lately to put myself on camera as well and am looking forward to learning from the masters! As far as topics of conversation go, I'd like to hear your thoughts on blog promotion and what you think the most effective methods are. Cheers!!
I,m sure you've answered this in your blog at some point but I'm goin'a ask anyway...how did you two meet?
You should discuss your cats and which of them is the most annoying THAT DAY.
I don't have a question (yet!) but I just want to say, that is a wonderful photo.
That Birdie the Cereal Box Puppet video is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
How did the two of you meet?what did you think of one another initially?Hmmm..inquiring minds want to know...how do you like one another's families...
Being in your first house as homeowners, what do you think will be one of the first memories you remember, good, bad, or ugly?
I will always go for a story when asked, so: I would like for one or both of you to tell a story from your childhood of an encounter with a stranger.
Do you get that what does your husband think about your hair question ? Has palinode ever answered? ( I get this a lot-usually from people I am about to pay for hair cut.)
Do either of you ever feel depressed, and if so, how does the other respond? Is it better to be extra-attentive and accommodating to the mood versus better to go on with your own things so that the depressed partner doesn't feel he/she is negatively affecting you?
Have you ever put anything online that you later wished you had not, and, if so, how did you deal with it? And how did it affect your subsequent online activity?
Looking forward to it! Great idea. Let's see, questions ... I like the How did you two meet? one. Three votes for that one so far. And you could elaborate on the love story that followed. Yeah.
If you could teach your cats to read or play card games, would you? If yes, what if you could pick only one of those activities - which one would you choose, and why? Lots of questions - feel free to edit.
Crunchy or smooth peanut butter?
