Am highly impressed with the level of reader engagement here, Joel…quite the ongoing Comments thread. Will have to check back in on your "beard blog" again to see if the trend continues, and also because reading that Kimbo Slice reference made me laugh out loud.

The "boring" comment was intended as a joke… and I'll admit to being a little bit of a troll here. (Note that I did not comment on the blog at all – although I did say on Twitter that Joel looked like Kimbo Slice.)

I just find it funny how people think they can assume all kinds of things about people based on a few online comments.

Anonymous – comments about appearance are out yet comments about sound quality are in? I thought it was all about content?

Anon: Sorry I missed your point.

I've used the regular flip and the HD and I'm *very* pleased with the HD's quality. Though its lens is very narrow.

Anthony: I can *always* be self-deprecating.

Thanks for the info, however brief. I love the flip and was wondering if the HD one was obviously any different. The thing I really enjoy about the flip is the sound quality.

As for your comment about my thinking being black and white - you obviously missed my point which is far from being either - so I'll move on.

Thanks.

You said "your beard was more interesting than the content."

It will be fun to see the next Video Monday when the beard thing gets stale (or disappears) and you can't be self-depreciating with your blog anymore.

What will your content be about then?

I'm impressed that you continue to get a lot of comments on your blog.

You really give people something to talk about, whether it is by accident or not.

Anon: Flip Mino HD.

Let's remember I agreed with the point that people only commented on it because they all know me really well. They knew I'd find it funny. I *think* that might be okay.

Frankly, you and Ryan are both being way too black & white. Sometimes it's okay to comment on someone's appearance, and sometimes it isn't. I *think* most people's comments were just fine. I certainly didn't mind.

You didn't answer my question – people usually are interested in what you shot with and since your "friend", who knows no boundaries says your content was so boring I'll focus on that. What did you use?

Dave: Great points!

Lovelyk: I guess that's really the big thing. Obviously it was something worth noting (why, I'm not certain), but that the conversation was *only* about that is the most interesting bit. I guess people know me too well :)
