Here is a short video I took while skating through Borough Market, the most upscale and posh foodmarket in London, which takes place every Friday just a little way from where I work. Yum! Borough Market is here.
This is also by way of a test-post of VideoEgg, which is a rather spiffy video-sharing service (yes, another one…) VideoEgg is neat for a number of reasons: the encoding of .3gp format movies (which is what I generally have given I take most clips on my phone) seems better than Y**Tube, you can edit and trim videos on the site before uploading (you need to download a small widget first), it enables you to post directly to TypePad, Blogger, eBay (no more copying and pasting code…) and the videoegg site is nice and clean, and features rounded corners, which as we all know, is a good thing. If they can add tagging and a few other things, I’ll be superhappy.
Also also, this is a test-post for a new idea I have for "niche" or even "uberniche" blogging - rollermobilegeovideoblogging or "romogeovlogging" - which is me skating around filming stuff on my phone and talking shit, essentially. I think it could be a winner and will start up a dedicated blog any day now. Meanwhile, I implore you, dear readers, to suggest places in London (or Cambridge) that you would like me to romogeovlog! Go on, comment, please. It makes me happy…
Hurrah for “romogeovlogging”! Let’s have more!
You know I’ve always wanted to see someone video themselves rollerblading through a hailstorm and narrowly missing a large anchor. Do you think you could do that? Alternatively a “romoblo” of Brick Lane would also be nice.

Noxels. Definitely. Can’t wait for technology to catch up to us here, living in the future and all.
Sure Mikey! I’ll see what I can do…
That’s the next big Web 3.0 hit: SmellTube, featuring User Generated Smells (or UGS for short).
