having fun with the video thing

What is Courageous Living? from Kate Swoboda on Vimeo.

After all of these years of doing simple updates via FTP with .html files that I was editing in a text editor, this past year has been a huge technological leap forward. Now I’m a total WordPress fanatic–loving how simple and easy it is to use–and have a WordPress install on nearly all of my sites (and I thank my lucky stars that I just happen to be dating the most amazing man who can skin a WordPress page like it’s nuthin, son.) Just a few weeks ago I got on the Twitter bandwagon, and in addition to my Facebook profile, just today I added a profile for Your Courageous Life. Cray-zee.

The video thing is just my newest and latest experiment. This video is my second (I’ll post the first one tomorrow) and it answers some questions about The Courageous Year. I confess I feel a little shy putting up this video because, well, now you can see my face. And hear my voice. There’s a sudden “internet distance” that no longer exists with this. Also, whenever I watch the video I feel a little shy because as I’m talking I can see how I’m just about giddy, just about to pop out of my seat and needing to restrain myself. And finally, there’s this little piece of hair that falls across my forehead for the whole last part of the video, and I keep wanting to reach over and push it to the side.

So after allll of that, and after figuring out the basics of iMovie, and getting the whole thing ready and exporting it and then realizing that I mis-spelled “music” on the very last frame and then re-doing that…it was ready. 

I hope you enjoy it!
