Well, I’ve gone and done it. I installed the Seesmic WordPress plugin that allows you to leave a video comment in response to my blog entries. I may even do a video entry or two along the way. Now I’m looking for a green screen so I can Chroma Key out everything but my eyes. Or maybe I’ll have a Mime do an entry for me. You never know.
[EDIT: I think a couple of you have tried to leave video comments and I didn't realize it. They were held up in my comments and the text entry that shows is linking and as such I didn't recognize it for what it was. I have that issue fixed by changing some of my settings. so if you left a video comment and you don't see it, I more than likely deleted it. Don't kill the messenger and if you'd like, give it another shot.
EDIT 2: It seems I have an naming issue that prevents the video comments from completing, put in a help request and I'll update when these things are done.]

While working on the 4-AM website, I had a couple (okay, more than a couple, but I’ll start there) decisions to make about what goes on the website and what will work best for my target audience which is bleeding edge, New Media early adopter types like you. Yes, you are, you’re reading this, aren’t you? Anyway, that’s why I’m asking you. It’s always best to go straight to the source and there you are. Let me know what you think, I have no doubt that you will come up with some things I’ve never even thought of, you’re good like that. The other choice works even if you choose one of the choices in the list, so don’t hesitate to add it, if you think of something.
Thank you for letting me know what you think.
