Video Bloggging Week, Day 1Sorry — I’m a little bit late to the party. I threw together this quick intro video to announce my participation in Video Blogging Week 2009. Please excuse my tardiness, I’ll try to do better with the next six. I fell asleep while it was rendering and didn’t wake up until midnight. Lame.

Hey, it’s me — Tim.

Ever since he told me that the other day, I’ve become quite conscious of it, too. And even though I tried to avoid these eccentricities in the making of this entry, they’re still painfully obvious. I even tried to edit them out in post, but you can see the results. Plus, it’s pretty hard to edit out “boring”. Sorry, but I guess that’s just who I am. Old, boring, and makes funny noises with his mouth — that’d be me.
