There’s been so much hullaballoo over videoblogging lately that I find myself wondering exactly what it’ll take for me to really get into it – and this morning I figured it out.

Right now my mind is racing, cruising at an altitude around 35,000 feet. It’s been a crazy week. A quick recap is in order. Last week I headed up to Boston to meet up with one of my future classmates and look for apartments. What I found when I got there was a reintroduction into […]
