this is an abomination.


Mario Librandi - 10/18/2006 14:01:05

I second that.


leron - 10/18/2006 14:02:04

Now, now….

Funny, isn’t it, how Big Media have noticed the “realness” of blogs and the connections audiences form to them, and are now moving as fast as they can to twist the new tools to their old, nefarious ends.

Or maybe “tragic” is the better word.

chuck in a tree = greatness!

chuck, he doesn’t care about quality, that much.

Michael Verdi is our other terrific editor. What a dope I am!

Oh, and nice hair Amanda. That wind makes it look nice and DIIIIIRRRT-AY!

Thank for the interview Chuck. We laughed all the way through…you are one funny dude!


Awed Job - 10/18/2006 14:33:31

It is my dream to become the next Chuck Olsen.


chuck - 10/18/2006 14:41:53

Yes, all hail Verdi!

Thanks for posting the YouTube terms Steve.

Amanda’s vlog-trip is probably the best (least evil) sponsorship you could hope for. Their involvement has pretty much zero impact on the user experience, we don’t even see their logos or anything – they’re just putting up a little money and of course the hybrid to make this whole thing happen.

File under “best practice.”


anon - 10/18/2006 14:41:58

Just to let you know, the wmv file is nearly unwatchable.


chuck - 10/18/2006 14:47:42

hmm, i wouldn’t say that but it does get squiggly if there’s any camera movement. thanks for letting us know, we’ll see what’s up.


W.O.( in Oblivion, OK ) - 10/18/2006 15:32:42

I think this is a really good episode.


worm2 - 10/18/2006 15:58:02

what up chuck? and yes chuck is cool.

One of the best interviews yet. Nice to meet you chuck…


Spock - 10/18/2006 17:37:41

Great interview! I love the goatee. Is that the Chuck Olsen from the Mirror Universe?


Terry - 10/18/2006 17:41:33

A really interesting interview -
said in my authentic voice.


Ralph E. Hansen - 10/18/2006 18:48:17

Yup, Chuck is cool. Good job. RB is toast!


Walter Crespo - 10/19/2006 08:54:28

That was a pretty interesting talk, I like Chuck’s glasses, cool. I wonder what that building next to Gold Medal Flour is, hmm, oh sorry stuff just pops in my head. Great VB from AAA, hey that’s your show Amanda, sweet.


packie - 10/19/2006 11:27:33

Enjoyed the interview.

Amanda, I really hope that VBlogging is a future plan, not just something you do until you arrive in California.

Rocketboom is still a “guilty pleasure” of mine, but you have won me over once again with your new blog. Great work. Better than ever!

Chuck, regarding your comments yesterday thanks for mentioning the bit of info that hit the cutting room floor. Conspiracy theories can be entertaining in the same way that a good novel is entertaining. But when reality and people’s good intentions get distorted by these “theories” good people get hurt. Not fair.

Thanks for keeping it genuine!


Aaron - 10/19/2006 11:56:32

Great episode. Vlogs are the future. Thanks for the interview Amanda.


Chuck Olsen Groupie - 10/19/2006 12:45:55

Chuck Olsen is the best! He’s so handsome and talented and great! Chuck Olsen is the biggest baddest rock star since Huey Lewis!!! I love you Chuck!!!


joe - 10/19/2006 14:08:12

John - 10/20/2006 14:28:11

d henry - 10/20/2006 22:18:39

Wow. This is the zenith of interviews. Chuck O. has the great energy of the blog/video movement. I enjoyed this a lot. I can see what good chemistry he has with you Amanda and your whole crew, I’m sure. This was a treat.
