  1. I’m sure Amanda was a Whirling Dervish in a past life! That Amanda Swoosh is a most difficult maneuver to master and a tough habit to kick, even 11 lifetimes later.

  2. Hi there! I LOVE the new rb interface. Can you email me a link, or post here on the site and let me know, where we can learn to use chapters and how to imbed links like this with our own videos? I’d love to learn how to do this–and yes I have QT pro. ;)

  4. You know the deal with Animusic is the same problem I have with MIDI. It’s cool, I even use it and if you really work at it you can make it sound almost like music, but as a former memember of AFM, I gotta say - insist on Live Music. Take care,

  5. As for the impending big news, take a cue from Adam Curry…

    “No damn announcements!”

    I can wait.

    LOVED the anti-smoking ad at the end of RB today. Great stuff.

    I also hear a lot of chatter about you two being presented with some serious money-making opportunities….like say, to the tune of $2 Million a year for advertising. Any truth to this? Will you take it or leave it for something bigger?

  9. Rocketboom is thoroughly enjoyable and witty. Rocketboom continues to be innovative with hyperlinks and chapter markers. I aspire to have a lighthearted, informative and not overly stuctured vlog such as yours.

  11. Interesting story on dead US soldiers. Cannon fodder when they left, nothing but cargo coming back. Hmmm…maybe Clueless George and the gang should start cremating them before they put them on the plane. That way they could save on some of that precious fuel they’re after over there in Iraq! Lets see… Americans killed in WTC tradgedy: 2749. Americans killed by Republican terrorists in control of our govt: 2150 and counting. Hey! Only 599 more to go for a tie!

    CONSPICUOUSLY… ROCKETBOOM IS MISSING FROM THE TOP 10 LIST

    They have some nerve! Then again this is a CNN report. What can you expect?

    Thanks Amanda, I was born in October. Hypnotic suggestion really works! :)

  17. Hmm… What can I say? Rocketboom’s rising. Sooner or later we’ll start seeing a flood of n00b5 (That’s good, of course.).

    Here’s the key: If you haven’t seen Amanda with glasses, then you’re a n00b.

    TeraLink Was Here! ;-)

  19. Oh man, changes in the wind?
    Don’t you dare go and get all commercial big-time on us! Remember that “integrity” word…

    (or next thing you know there’ll be guest hosts - “vlog-jays” …

    …and commercial placements (for diet coke if not Sprint?))

    Love ya!

  20. Hey,

    If I want to attach a hysterical christmas
    .wmv for you guys to put at the end of one of your vblogs, how do I send it to you?

    Once you see this, I guarantee it’ll go on.
    I can’t find anywhere on this page to enclose something.

    Thanks,
    Barry

  22. Hi Amanda,

    Cool the new interactive features! I would like to suggest to push interactivity a step further, and let your viewers pick the shirt you wear in a given episode. Loved the one you wore today! Gulp

  24. The show is getting better! It was good before. Todays show seemed the most upbeat and you were hilarious with your little blooper at the onset. One suggestion, drop the little navigation thingy you recently added…. I mean come on! The show is only 3 minutes! Keep up the good work and stay caffeinated!

  25. Dear Amanda and Drew,
    I have absolutely no problem with you guys making money off of this venture. If the only price I have to pay to watch Rocketboom is a commercial at the end, so be it. Y’all are worth it. Your show both entertains, and informs, and is worthy of bringing in some extra scratch.

  27. Yo! Your site rocks! Most of the great segments take me back to my crazy days in name. Oh yes, where life required only clean boots, and a robotic claw named Boon (which also bared 10 of my kin.) Keep up the good work! I’m looking forward to the merchandise line.
