RE: YouTube Nostalgia

[TravMcTavish]

Wow it feel it only a couple of days ago that I watched this video....hang on a minute it WAS......Liking your collection so far.

[ThunderD15]

LOL you joined on my Birthday LOL

[kenrg]

Well, happy belated birthday then!

[Fringe111]

Oh god I just went back and looked at my first vid. Your's was terrific. Nostaglia has hit You Tube lol

[moderatorheidi]

Aren't you supposed to be exclusively on your VloggerHead site?

[kenrg]

I guess I missed that clause in the contract.

[21stCenturyCat]

Thanks Ken! I was going to just repost Vlogging For Dummies but I see I have 'Special' instructions. I'll see what I can do... ;)

[kenrg]

Cool - Looking forward to it!

[filemen2]

Dear Mr Rg, 4 of your 5 attempted "tags" have been disallowed: The Curt tag stands unchallenged. The next 3 are disqualified for flagrant violation. The whole idea of "tagging" is that everyone must do the exact horrible thing for which people are being tagged. Not some liberal interpretation of it. Your final "tag" is clearly intended to tag more than one person. This, too, shall not stand. Sincerely, etc etc

[kenrg]

Okay. That does it. YOU'RE TAGGED TOO THEN!!! Mwahahahahahaha!

[filemen2]

This tag is under review by the

appropriate authorities.

Actually, if I had a copy of my

first video I'd be happy to do it.

That was everyone's fav of mine.

Can I rip it from YouTube somehow?

[brignoni68]

That was cool to see! Luckily all my first videos died with one of my hard drives, so I can't look back and see how bad my guitar playing was! Probably a good thing!

[kenrg]

"Luckily"? That's important historical documentation that's been lost! And they were pretty good, if a somewhat more raw than your more recent performances.

[missdivinestalls]

I like your VOTE shirt ;)

[kenrg]

I was trying to be real subtle about that ;^)

[anakin1814]

1. I love the shirt you're wearing in this video! 2. Holy hair in the flashback! (cool!!) 3. I posted my first video about 2 weeks before you did. Isn't it amazing that we all kind of started around the same time and yet didn't come across each other much later. 

"I've been fascinated by YouTube" for weeks now. I remember one of my first vlogs I talked about doing the Diet Coke and mentos thing too. Goood stuff. Look how far we've all come!

[kenrg]

The shirt is a subliminal message, sshhhh!

The hair? It's no different. Literally the same hair cut, I'm just overdue for a trim by about 2-1/4 years.

[DanPostropheL]

The ceiling in that room is fascinating Ken. Is that your bedroom, a child's room? The ceiling color is so cool how it seems to change from night to daytime sky depending on the lighting.

Did you paint it, or was it there when you moved in?

Great ending.

[kenrg]

This room was painted as a nursery by the previous owner. I use it as my office. We know we should really repaint it, but a) we're lazy, and b) it's kinda cool.

[NorCalCorsello]

"I've been fascinated by YouTube for weeks now." I love that line! I wasn't too excited until you said we could use our pre-YouTube first vlog... I may have to video the VHS playing on the TV. If I wait until I find the right cable(s), it may never get posted.

[kenrg]

Well, if not your first, just something early and unseen. And sorry about mangling your name ;^)

[NorCalCorsello]

Oh... you got me started. I did indeed dusted off some old equipment, dug out old cameras and cables, sorted through some old video tapes and managed to digitally import an old video that is probably as close as I get to the roots of NorCalCorsello. I finished around 5:30 am. Thanks a lot! Seriously, I am glad I did. I just have to video the introduction, and will hopefully have it posted by midnight tonight! Turned out to be a lot of fun. Thanks for including me.

[blackturtleus]

This video has caused me some frustration since I'm having a hard time figuring out when I made my first video! Although I joined YouTube late in June of 2006, it appears that I made my first video in early June of 2005. So, by the time I joined YouTube I had a couple dozen videos! Only a couple of them got posted!!!

[kenrg]

Well, go back and post one of the unposted ones from the pre-YT archives for a response!

[OhCurt]

Dig the hair cut on that dude from 2006 - was that guy in the Army or something??!

As for being tagged, I'll get you for this, Kenrrrrrrg!!

No, seriously, THANK YOU!

I'll have mine by Tuesday evening (at the latest).

:-)

[kenrg]

About the hair: Around 2003 I got tired of always having to go for haircuts, and always getting bad ones. I'd had the same basic hair style since Jr. High, and was bored, so I started buzzing it down to about 1/4 inch.

That was great, and fairly low maintenance, but still a bother. And I looked like an old Republican prick. So I decided to go the other direction of avoiding regular haircuts.

My final buz was the last week of August in '06. My YT history coincides with the growing of the hair.

[thefrozenghost]

Ha, I remember this video from way back then...interesting to see that we are still, on occasion, addressing this topic.

Thanks for tagging me, I saw you looking right at me, I'll do a response!

[kenrg]

Consider yourself double-tagged, didn't Joe/GBlend tag you too? Either way, I look forward to the response...

[thefrozenghost]

Well, dammit, I missed that...turns out I was tagged by Gary, too...how could I have missed those videos? Heads are gonna roll!

[cyberfreak77]

*****!

[kenrg]

Thanks!

[bohogirl1]

perhaps you, like dorian gray, have a portrait in the closet?

[kenrg]

Damn! All my secrets are out!

[boobtubious]

The first video I posted was a drawing of someone, sadly I no longer have that video :(

[kenrg]

How about re-creating it? :^)

[LeSaMilano]

you made that look effortless - even when you forgot the question! LOL

Sadly, or - mercifully- I no longer have my first video - ZAP!

[kenrg]

No longer have it? Is it still posted? I still have all of mine saved - for better or worse ;^)

[LeSaMilano]

nither! it's in a melted down hard disc - where it belongs! LOL

[kenrg]

Understood ;^)

[andymooseman]

Thanks for the nice compliment Ken, that means a lot.

I always liked that ceiling in your older videos.

It looks like you were a natural from day one. Even if you couldn't remember what you were supposed to be talking about! :)

[kenrg]

Today was the first time I watched that whole thing for a very long time - I actually like what I had to say. I should go back and do a video response to this.

[Moueska]

ROFL

I don't know if I still have the raw file for my first youtube vid response. I WANT to respond, but I don't think I can.

/sigh

Erm... Rain check?

[kenrg]

Okay - You search your back-up drive for that file... what you don't keep a back-up drive with all your vlog masters? Shame!

[ajdpadbury]

Oh sh*t! Ok, you asked for it ... :)

[andymooseman]

You were on my shortlist as well Anthony, so there really was no escape :)

[ajdpadbury]

Damn! Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you ... muwahahaha!!!:)

[kenrg]

I'll be sitting up here waiting. Come on, what's taking you so long?

[samszeman]

haha natural from the start! The only thing i can see in ther difference is that you seem more happy on your recent videos and the quality is different.

great video

[kenrg]

I guess I should have addressed the quality and gone through the different types of cameras I've use. I don't think it's happier, so much as more comfortable doing it. Or, maybe happier. Yes, YouTube makes me happy. There. I've said it.

[2ii89]

It was a little bit boring but your naturalness in front of a camera was outstanding for a first-time video. You've come a long way but you weren't an absolute disaster when you started out.

[kenrg]

LOL - not an "absolute" disaster - just a partial one, eh? Thanks!

[2ii89]

I always think it is a mistake to shower people with unmixed, insincere compliments. Folks have been known to suffer serious internal injuries trying to believe the extravagant praise that comes there way.

[Urnkneekovaks]

This is perhaps one of the most profound statements I have ever read.

[garouHH]

But... I don't even have a camera! Sorry, but no-can-do.

Also, is there any special reason why you have the perfect facilities for some homemade star chamber justice?

Um... Please tell me there's no connection between these two points.

[kenrg]

Darn, you've caught on to my other duty as justice chamber master. Keep quiet about it, or the punishment will be severe.

[PappyStu]

another tag thing eh? VBG he he he

That roof looks familiar...

[kenrg]

Aren't you glad I didn't tag you? You owe for that one.

[PappyStu]

I am yours to command *smirk*
