Video Wednesdays? Maybe.

Well, one thing I’ve done a lot more of lately is watching videos online. It’s about the most engaging thing to do late at night with a baby in one hand, the lights out and access to a mouse with the other. I’m finding video and the powers of technology are set to be an incredibly powerful tool in the years to come. Awareness can be raised about issues by anyone with access to a camera and a computer with the internet. I figure it would be nice for me to share some of the media I’ve come across, so you don’t have to waste your time browsing along. Possibly a weekly thing, I’ll try and post at least one or two videos I’ve come across that I found interesting and engaging. And, sometimes I’ll post one I just thought was funny. I might post some political bits, but just know, it’s only cause I found it interesting, not intending to brain wash you to one political side or the other, I don’t necessarily hold the same values or political leanings as the videos I’ll post links to. So, here’s a few for you to enjoy today.

Since we are advocates of breastfeeding around here, I thought this was an interesting PSA (Public Service Announcement) on the topic.

I’ve mentioned Shane Claiborne quite a few times on here recently, so maybe you won’t mind hearing him again. This video is actually put out by Zondervan, the publishers of Shane’s book and others. I’ll post some of their other videos later. For now I thought an audio piece of Shane’s book read by him might be worth a listen.

  1. Ariah,

    Great choices! I particularly love the Claiborne video. I had it posted up on my myspace page for quite awhile. Good stuff!!

    I hear ya on the late nights spent watching videos online thing. I’ve been known to do alot of that myself. I actually fell in love with Xanga when Niah was just a newborn, after spending soooo many wee hours of the morning mindlessly surfing the web. Like you said…lights out, house quiet, baby sleeping peacefully in my arms, and one hand free for clicking the mouse.

    🙂 Look forward to the weekly video idea. Bet you’ll find some really interesting and thought provoking stuff to share.

    Sorry I’ve been missing in action lately. Just been busy with things around here. I’m still reading, though, and will catch back up with you soon on “Mother Approved” (as promised). Just bear with me a couple more days…

    Peace,
    Jamie
