We're Streaming Live Tonight!
We’re streaming live tonight via uStream! http://www.ustream.tv/user/BlimeyCow
Starts at 8PM (CST) and we’re going to make a big announcement, so we hope all our tumblr friends can be there!
Let us know if you’re planning on coming :)
Have I Not Commanded You?
I am paranoid, and I am well aware of it.
Now that we are reaching such a big audience, we have new responsibilities. Financial ones, personal ones, spiritual ones… everything is changing.
And I tend to just worry about it all. What if I forget something? What if I mess up? What if everything crashes and burns? What if it’s all my fault?
It scares me, to be completely honest. And...
Writing Mode
I’m just going to stop talking about our plans that are multiple weeks in advance. We always end up changing them. I don’t even remember what the original plan was. But anyways, one video is probably scraped. The one that was going to replace it is probably going to be next week, and Kelli and I are working on a new one for this week.
But we think you guys are going to like it.
01-20-12 Update
This week has been crazy and fantastic. Looking ahead!
T-shirts are in the works. I’m looking to get a partnership with District Lines. I could go ahead and just get an “everybody is accepted!” account now, but if we get accepted for the “Pro” account, we make a lot more off of the sales. Part of me wants to just start selling them now, but honestly, if we could make...
This is a Really Good Day
Here’s something I wrote a few years ago in a Facebook note.
So what’s the point? I think we need more McGee and Me’s. Not literally, but you know what I’m saying. And of course they wouldn’t be carbon copies… but we need fun and accessible Christian kid shows that appeal to kids AND adults… with messages that aren’t dumbed down at all. Stuff that...
We Have 'Sploded
It’s going crazy.
This is too fun. We are loving it. I really thought it’d slow down today- but it’s done the opposite.
Oh, and hey to all of our new followers! Thank you so much for checking us out!
Wow.
We are getting subscribers faster than I can refresh my email.
The homeschool video really resonated with people. That’s awesome.
Today has been a blast- just watching all of the responses and new people that are finding out about our videos. It’s just been a really good day.
I’m very thankful for my sweet wife who helps me keep track of all of this stuff. She helps me write...
No Lack of Ideas!
It’s funny how things can change in just a few days.
Not a week ago, I felt like we were running out of gas- I had a few ideas for Messy Mondays, but I couldn’t make any of them work that way I wanted. We ended up writing out a ton of titles, but not getting much farther than that.
Thankfully, Tebow came to our rescue and bought us a week.
This gave me a minute to breathe, and to...
Concerning that Tebow Video
Our dad graduated from the University of Florida before getting married, having kids, and moving us to Tennessee where we have all resided ever since. My wife’s father grew up in South Florida as well and has always been a big Gators fan. So we enjoyed watching Tebow’s time with the Gators, and have enjoyed watching him now with the Denver Broncos.
For anyone that reads all of our...
It's Saturday and We Still Don't Know
Jordan and Amy are coming over to our place shortly to start braining storming a few different ideas I came up with this morning. When it comes down to it, I’m just not excited about the Smart Phone idea I mentioned in the last post. I’ve got some stuff for it that I think is solid, but I’m just not feeling it this week.
All that being said, if come Monday, you hop on YouTube...
01/05/12 Update
We seem to have good success with videos that have a moral at the end of them. That’s not even the best way to put that, but ones like “Ten Ways to Get girls to Like You” and “Like vs. Love”… people respond really well to those one. I’ve been putting off thinking about this week’s idea, because I’ve been hoping something might hit me along...
Cool Email We Received
thank you for posting the like vs. Love video this week. I am in the military stationed away from my wife now for a year and I have been having some hard times. Both of us have suffered a lot. But that video I showed her and it reminded us we aren’t doing all this just because we like each other and neither is God. It reminded us we love each other. Thank you so much for your words it...
