Spent some time outside today with my boys…but something happened to one of them. Trying out different video settings on my new camera.

By the way, it’s November, which is Videoblogging month. It coincides with National Novel Writing Month. Some people try to write a novel in a month. Others try to post a video everyday for a month. I might try the video thing again. Here’s my first video for November. Keep up with it on Mexico Movies, my videoblog.
Huatulco is in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. That’s the Pacific Ocean in the video.
Videoblogging Week 2009 finished up last week. I tried to participate as much as I could, and like Steve Garfield says, many videos end up in different places. They don’t all make it to the videoblog because they don’t all fit the Mexico Movies theme.
Some are family videos, and some don’t have anything to do with life in Mexico. Some get posted to Qik and others get posted to Facebook or Vimeo.

For what it’s worth, here are the videos I made for videoblogging week 2009:
Day 1 – Tequila in Mexico (Mexico Movies)
Day 2 – Los Voladores (Mexico Movies)
Day 3 – Tacos al Pastor (Mexico Movies)
Day 4 – Bus Ride in Mexico City (Mexico Movies)
Day 5 – Dancing (via qik)
Day 6 – Nathan’s first time Bowling (Vimeo and Facebook)
Day 7 – Iztapalapa Passion Play (via qik)
In case you didn’t know, this month is Videoblogging Month (VloMo). I’m making a video everyday for a month and posting them to the internet. This one is one of my favorites that I made yesterday.
My personal challenge is to take the videos with my iPhone using the Cycorder program available in Cydia. I get them onto my computer with a program called DiskAid and then upload them straight to Vimeo and Blip and also to our vlog (Mexico Movies).
You can watch everyone’s VloMo videos at MeFeedia. There’s a lot of great stuff being produced, so check it out.
I’ve embedded the video here for those who subscribe to the feed (usually, vids and pics don’t show up in my feed).
A while ago, I published a free ebook about how to use online video for ministry, especially youth ministry. I never really announced it much, but I wanted to post it here on the site so it could be useful for others.
It’s got ideas on how to put video on the web and how to use web video in youth ministry. My favorite part, and I think the part that is the most useful, is the part on ways to use online video for youth ministry.

Just so you know, tomorrow starts Videoblogging Week for this year. Over on Mexico Movies, our videoblog, we’ll be posting one video every day for the week.
I might, if I can find the time, post a video a day over on my youth ministry site, too. I might post a video there every day talking about various issues in youth ministry. We’ll see how much time I’ve got this week.
Anyway, keep an eye out for lots of videos this week, and if you want, grab a camera and upload a video to the web everyday this week.
