I decided to create this new home for my vlogs so that they didn't get lost among my blog entries. I'll put notices on <a href="http://ianthomasash.blogspot.com/">my blog</a> when I post a new vlog, but anyone who's just interested in the vlogs can simply come directly here.<br /><br />I want to thank Gaelle from the <a href="http://www.ridm.qc.ca/ilm.f/t/theballadofvickiandj.php">RIDM</a> who gave me my first assignment to do a vlog, <a href="http://www.freevlog.org/">Freevlog</a> for giving me the know-how, and <a href="http://www.blip.tv/">Blip.tv</a> for making it all possible.
