  1. On Sunday I looked through every one of your past vlog posts. (An obvious “do nothing day” for a new addiction.)

    The potential was there; you didn’t have much to work with. You’re still batting over 900 percent. Keep the quirky stuff coming.

  3. I love you, I want to marry you, I want to have babies with you, but I just didn’t get today’s vblog. No intro, no funky code screen at the end… it lacked the usual umpf! (=chutzpah!)

  5. Amanda-
    You and your colleagues are on your way to fame and fortune. Keep up the great work.
    Also, I think SilverFox speaks for many male viewers, and probably some female, as well. You have a sparkling personality and great style. Keep up the good work.

  6. Fantastic stuff!! I love your daily vlogs!

    Now Amanda, are you sure that he said your eyes were going to be white or did you see a lot of stars after putting the drops in which became total ‘whiteness’?

    Have a great day!

    Amanda & Andrew,
    What a treat to have Rocketboom in the mornings. Pure delight! Kudos.
    Oh, it seems that Yahoo has f*cked up del.icio.us. It does NOT work now. Way to go corporate dogs!

  10. No, no, noooo! Don’t put those drops…

    Please do not do something like that again. Lasik eyes are not fully healed for quite some time. Like the previous posts, don’t accept eye drops from sunglass clad salesmen. Neostigmine will likely not be a big problem, but how many other “clients” tried that bottle before you? Can you say pink eye? And we wonder why people try drugs. “If so and so did it I guess I’ll do it…” Due care and God bless.

  11. Hahaha….you should have done a close up of both your eyes to see if that stuff worked. I mean, it would be hard to tell since your eyes are usually pretty white anyways.

  13. Sorry about the body part comment again (and about eyes again this time, i swear I don’t have a fetish…well not for eyes).

    I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but your right eye looks not necessarily whiter but, bigger. You kind of have a pirate thing going, and those are very in right now.

  17. @ Gary - I’m pretty sure they post it all. Sometimes they even post it twice.

    @ RB - Judging from today’s comments, you could have just called the story “Amanda Uses Funky Eyedrops” Seems to have people kind of worked up…

  19. Good thing he did not have a stick that makes your eye really red! I imagined your eye was going to look like Homer Simpson’s after the vacuum hose incident. Best wishes.

  21. Probably not the same stuff:
    Another commonly used name for aminocaproic acid is epsilon-aminocaproic acid.
    Antifibrinolytic (an-tee-fye-bri-noh-LIT-ik) agents are used to treat serious bleeding, especially when the bleeding occurs after dental surgery (particularly in patients with hemophilia) or certain other kinds of surgery. These medicines are also sometimes given before an operation to prevent serious bleeding in patients with medical problems that increase the chance of serious bleeding.

    Antifibrinolytic agents may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

    Antifibrinolytic agents are available only with your doctor’s prescription, in the following dosage forms:

    Well, your eyes were not put at risk for nothing! I’ve been trying to figure out where to get flip flaps. Now I know: https://compactimpact.com/shopping/product_info.php?products_id=193

    Thanks for the great episode! I can see a whole new line coming from this…will Amanda try it? will Amanda eat it? will Amanda wear it? The possibilities are endless…

    Cheers,
    Connie

    Dear Amanda,

    Next time you see him, Pls. tell that shop-keeper his store is full of crap (if I lived in NYC, I would go there and tell him myself …) Also, easy on the “eye-bleach” next time!

    Cheers!

    I’ve been watching RB just before I go to sleep every night for the past two months, tucked in bed by the light of my iPod!

    But the last two episodes with embedded links don’t play on the iPod . . . it was like being sent to bed without supper!

    Yo, Amanda. What’s up with the “Steve Shirt” (obscure reference from early Blue’s Clues days…)? I must say, it was nicely accessorized by the one bug-eye look.

    Not sure I got the inner meta message of yesterday’s installment, but I’ve spent all morning re-reading my Satre to find the meaning in meaninglessness…

    Looking forward to getting my comfy RB T and all the sing-along fun I’m sure will follow!!!

  38. Amanda,
    Great show! That place is weird… but I must check it out if I ever get to NYC. And if anybody is curious, I believe the iDog made Time Magizine’s top inventions of the year. And… please don’t put anything in your eye again. I don’t wanna lose you!

    12 years old and loving every minute,
    -David
