You ride a fine edge being honest and blunt without being brutal. people need to be told that some stuff sucks, and we need to see other people's stuff that sucks, so we can rush off and get it off our web sites. If you were too nice, it would all be pointless. Meg is a major contribution, hope you're paying her well to participate. Speaking of which ... How about getting a guest star to critique sites with you. Chase has his own blog; David Hobby goes around teaching, so does David Tajeda. If one of them was passing through town and got a promise of dinner and a supply of beer, they might do a guest appearance. Just be stingy with the beer until the video is shot.

You and Meg have a great rapport (although it occasionally feels that you and she have a few too many in-jokes). If you were to keep it a little less inclusive, it might strengthen the videos a bit.

I don't recall if you've said what was the epitomical moment of "Aha! A screencap video critique!" but it's something special. You have taken the whole web 2.0 thingy and used it to give photography a kick in the pants. Flash is neat and all, and mapping pictures out on flickr is neat and all (OMG GPS!!)...but this is awesome. Critiquing is absolutely not new but the presentation is fascinating. Meghan, don't you dare stop participating! As far as I'm concerned you're welcome to sing a jingle at the start/end/whenever. The Arias Duo! (Sorry, rather lame. One of the things I don't do well is names.) I know I suggested separating out the site critique way back on #1 and Casper suggested in #5 to cut out the chit chat but I have to disagree with him on both counts. 1) I wouldn't watch if Zack sang the whole episode :) and 2) the levity obviously reflects both of your personalities and while I fully appreciate staying on task it's also your show and your work. If you can choose what to put in your portfolio then you can choose what to put in your videos. Seems fair. I've come to appreciate that these critiques have more than just critiquing in them and I'm totally down with that.
