This morning, thanks to the amazing endeavors of cohort Dan Halverson, we've begun to post some video footage at CBGXtra. In case it escaped your notice (and hoping that your Internet connection is speedy enough), if you click on the "Videos" link at CBGXtra, you'll find a number (well, three at the moment) of videos with comics connections.

With what you'll notice is a shaky hand, I began to record events in February, figuring that, if I waited for perfection to surround me with its glory, people and events would have long since come and gone. Whereas, if I just started recording things, I'd at least have something at which people could scoff in years to come.

And scoff they will -- but I'm slowly learning. First thing learned: I talk to people as if they (and I) were 5 years old. Oooo! Aaaaaah! Wow! Cool! Et (embarrassing) cetera. Still, I think the items on display are moments you may not know about -- and/or moments that provide background or other illumination.

There's more to come. I tend to lug the camcorder along when I think there may be the aforementioned moments. We're up to 2007 now, and it's time to take advantage of some of the technical advances.
