You recently had a co-star that is in need of more screen time... the cat obviously.

Maggie does have quite the personality... But wouldn't more kitty time skew my demographics even further towards elderly women? (pictures "crazy cat lady" doing YouTube search for "cute cats" and finding my videos with Maggie... then liking the videos, and posting them on her favorite cat message board, crazycatlady.com, and an on-slaught of epic proportions ensues from which I may never recover).

I think at some point, Maggie will be in another episode. And at some other point, I'll do an episode on video games. But up next (maybe) is taping my bike commute to work (yes, helmet cam and all), with the angle of, "See, biking as your primary mode of transportation is not only possible, but awesome." That may be this weekend or next week - whenever I can secure the camera to my helmet well enough that I don't have to worry about it falling off AND the weather decides to cooperate.

Yeah, I agree, you definitely don't want a crazy cat lady stalking you.

This bike adventure that you plan seems exciting.

Hey guys! I like Mario Party 8! I don't think it's been over-done at all! No one asks for them, but the fact of the matter is that they sell, for some inexplicable reason. I think there's an analogy to be made here.

Well, I just finished the bike adventure one. And I did one last week as well, but it's kind of a more serious one by its very nature. I'll list them out here. Oh, before that, though, the demographics have improved slightly (thanks!)... but elderly women still LOVE my videos. I am at a loss... maybe I'll just embrace it and do one on quilting for my next video.

Ok, so should I keep updating here? Is there interest? Is it annoying? I'm kind of proud of these videos, and I put a ton of time into them... so maybe other people find them fun to watch too. But if not, I'll stop updating this post.

LET ME KNOW GUYS, K?

My latest video is of Maggie, so I thought I'd post it. I've done several others in the meantime, so if you want to watch them, just visit my YouTube page.

So now what is the average age of your viewers since you've got a bigger variety of videos?

Maggie is a level 1 climber, noob.
Ace Ventire would've been proud from such a bumpy road.
American Gladiators playing ping-pong, hahaha. True story, my adam's apple got hit by the horizontal strike of a ping-pong racket and I lost my voice for a good few hours lol.
Your city, town, or whatever it is, does it have bike lanes?

Hey, look at that, it's almost exactly equal - 51% women, 49% men. Age range is totally spread out (though again, my 65+ women are comprising a large portion again - that's what I get for putting up a couple of cat videos in the last month).

Responses, bullet-style!
• She has successfully climbed the dresser twice now, so I awarded her the Climber Lv. 2 with special merit for successful repeat of a bizarre trick.
• Bumpy roads ftw
• Ouch dude, you've got to watch out for that! It hurts just thinking about having that happen
• Yes, but not many. I was riding on the street, about to turn onto a street that is a bike route.

Level 2? Nice. Climbing trees, and the roof is her next mission. I'm kidding of course, but it certainly doesn't hurt her to practice some of those dormant primal cat skills.
Oh darn, those grannies and their kitty lovin'. Age censorship should also be limited to ages above 35+, it should be an option though... I'm not kidding.
