I wanted to see a little CG Ron on your shoulder. You gotta make that happen for the next viddlesode. Great job.

One word, my friend: BRAVO!
Once again, you’ve raised the bar. I called the whole family in to watch the viddlesode over my shoulder, and all of us were laughing…at the appropriate times. What fun!

HOLY COW! The Viddlesode seems to have quite a few comments… I’m not sure if that’s because it was a video, or because so many people could relate to the story itself!
Personally, my wife and I don’t fall for all that Valentines day hype. Flowers are cheaper most of the rest of the year, AND the day after, all that candy is half price…. Now there’s a deal! smile
If anybody wants to start a movement to IGNORE February 14th and start a more reasonably priced counter holiday on the 15th (or there abouts) let me know!

Ron,
It was great to see a video show this time, but I have a request: Please make a separate feed for videos… I listen to most of my podcasts as I’m driving in the car (iPod link) and didn’t watch the show for about a week before I remembered to do it on my PC. I’d love to see more, though!
It wasn’t a surprise to see you depicted… you’ve got a picture no RonAmok.com is memory serves.
Oh, and way to promote alcohol! Now I’ll have to question letting my kids watch/listen to the show… unless that was root beer!

Wow! I didn’t expect to get a visual to the voice and the “characters” of your family anytime soon, but I must confess that I had to work up the courage, as it were, to actually do it when granted the opportunity!
As fun as it was, though, keep up with the regular ol’ podcasting. You yourself have made the point that audio-only storytelling is great for commutes and the development of imagination!

Hello Ron (and the other Ron)~
The same thing happened to my Dad when he bought shoes online. They said they had been delivered but they hadn’t. 1-800-FLOWERS = bad business
Make more Viddlesodes !

Hi Kevin,
No, that’s not the ocean. We live on a ridge that looks over a canyon. But at least I can drive to the ocean in about 15 minutes!

Ron, did I see a beautiful view of the ocean behind you in the scene where you’re drinking the beverage and sulking? Fun to see you and your Bride acting together. Along with your son’s camera work, it was a real family project. Cool!

Thanks for the viddlesode! It was nice to hear from you. I like the sound of the waves on the background. Looking forward to another episode.

Ron – I usually never have problems ordering from 1800flowers or FTD.. except this year.. ordered flowers for my wife, they never showed up, -AND- I couldn’t get through to anybody on the phone until the 19th. The flowers FINALLY arrived -late- on the 20th, after my wife had left work for the day (even though she had talked to them that morning and told them when she would be there). they didn’t ofer me any compensation, not even % off the next order.
You are not alone this year.
