So, as many of you know, I have been searching for the “Great Guacamole Theory” — ie a way to make great guacamole without cilantro — well, while I think I might have found it, others seem to like cilantro. It is for those people, that Geneve Stewart (from Geneve’s Kitchen) has posted her guacamole video blog post. Her first ever, I might add.

Also, a quick thought on video blogging. In theory, I like it when its well done. I like when its well produced and entertaining or enlightlightening. I don’t like it when its poorly lit, has inaudible or spotty sound or has choppy video. In Geneve’s case, she warns that she is a novice, but I think she did great work. Way back on Fatmixx, Sujal once posted that podcasting was an interesting idea, and it might be interesting to see certain people attempt it. Amanda Congdon does it on Rocketboom, and does a fine — and very funny — job as well.

Unfortunately, I’ve been listening to a number of “homemade” audio blogs through iTunes, and I just continue to be unimpressed. In the ones I’ve downloaded, the knowledge is poor, the effects sound like they come off a Casio keyboard, and in some cases, the talent definitely lacked a certain gravitas. Now, please don’t mistake my commentary here for an attempt to stifle creativity, I hope people continue to make them, and I hope that as all of the tools get better to help people make better audio and video recordings (Garageband and iMovie on the Mac, for example), the quality improves. I have just been disappointed thus far.

(This is all by way of saying, I wouldn’t hold your breath for me to be releasing a video or audio blog any time soon. ;) More news later, especially when I finally release my response to Isaiah Thomas taking over the world, on this, the day of the NBA Draft…)
