I've given myself a few weeks to think about everything you talked about in this video (in hopes of making a somewhat constructive comment!). I fully support any and all new changes to the vlog - I'm already a big fan of the font you've been using for the on-screen titles. However, the word "produced" does scare me a little bit, and here's why: There's always been a mostly relaxing atmosphere to the vlogs. It feels like when I sit down to watch a vlog, I can relate to you, Mal, and anybody else you interact with as human beings. I can't help but feel like making things more "produced", or just generally more professional, would take away from the relatable aspect of the vlogs. Don't get me wrong - I think pushing forward and always trying to make things look better is what all content creators aspire to do, but I worry that it could get to a point where it feels too produced. The best example I could give as to what I'm talking about is the web series Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. The very first episode has such a relaxing, non-scripted atmosphere to it, and I love going back and watching it every now and then just to be a part of that feeling. But it's gotten to a point where, for example, the past couple of seasons feel so professionalized that it's lost its fun, laid-back aspect. Then again, you're the last person I'd ever imagine that would allow that to happen, so I'm sure you'll figure out how to make things just right! Anyway, I hate to ramble on and on, but some ideas for the vlog: I'd like to see you move around more! Maybe film more vlogs outside (or even on your patio) rather than on your couch. I also really enjoyed the "First-Person Vlog". Perhaps you could implement that every now and then? (P.S. Happy birthday a day early!)

I still remember that amazing (terrible?) music video with that Shaq movie and Christina Aguilera. I think it would be fun to see more music videos.... but maybe about your own life? I'm not sure. But that would be funny. You could also maybe do the public stunts you couldn't arrange the time for in the fall. I love talking heads but Surl still was super entertaining.
