The Calm Before The Storm - What You Need To Do Now.
It’s Late Friday here in Australia and it’s time to put up your mission for the weekend!
There won’t be any more content updates over the weekend (unless Dan has something planned) but you do have one mission to do in the video.
This weekend is a chance for you to catch up watch/rewatch the videos and make sure you’re already to go!!
(or you could make an entry for the Thirty Day challenge YouTube film festival…)
Here is the file for download to iTunes (this will happen automatically if you have iTunes set up)
Have a great weekend and get ready to rock!
Ed
PS If you have just arrived the best way to catch up is go to the first post on this blog and start watching all the content from there - once everything is set-up then hit the forum. If you go to the forum first you may get a bit overwhelmed!
PPS Make sure you check in the mirror before you do a video cast…

That wasn’t on purpose?

It would be good to have a link to the first post for newcomers .. unless I am being very blind, there is no archives link and there’s a lot to scroll back through

Answering my own question I think this is it

Hi Ed, just registered and watched the introductory video…I’ll try and get ‘out there’ this weekend but as we’ve just had the 2 wettest months since records began in 1766 here in the UK, ‘out there’ might be as far as the back garden if I’m lucky ! By the way, I assume thats Elvis on top of your amp ? Couldn’t quite make out for sure on the video

I love the PPS - lol - it is such our Aussie style!
July 27th, 2007 at 7:27 am
Love the homework assignment. Works out perfectly for me since I’m getting out of town for the weekend. Note to self: pack a pen and notebook! Thanks for this fantastic training, Ed.

I would love to find out how to get to the beginning of the blog as well…because I can’t find it….
thanks!

He looks like Eddie Izzard.

Thanks Ed, this is the perfect homework assignment since it’s the 20th annual Oregon Brewers Festival this weekend. Not that I needed another excuse to go, but now I’ll add a notebook and pen to my brew fest gear list.

Jane,
To get to the beginning of the blog
- Go right to the bottom of the blog page (at http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/blog/)
- On the left side, you’ll see “

When I play the videos of Ed, itunes keeps stopping, even after downloading the whole thing. What’s wrong? It takes twice as long to view the videos this way.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
OMG its so soon i’m kind of scared of the launch now.. my only free time would be on the sunday arvo here
July 27th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
I like Eddie Izzard!
July 27th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Sounds interesting.
U mentioned Firefox, I use IE 7, Is that going to be a problem?
July 27th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Hi Everyone, I am excited to be part of this group. I have no idea what to expect but excite to learn some cool tricks. With gratitude,
Claudia from San Francisco

Canada does rock!

The hair was superb!
That’s something I’m likely to do - though my speciality is spinach in the teeth & smiling at people and wondering why they don’t look me in the eye - lol
The good thing is that you now more closely resemble your Action Man Doll

William;
Even though you use IE7, I’d suggest you go download Firefox for this project. There are add-ons that won’t work with IE7 and only work with Firefox. You can have more than one browser on your desktop so that won’t be a problem. There will be times when you’ll want to use IE7 (both for certain things here and for regular surfing) and, similarly, other times when you’ll want to use Firefox (not just for 30DC). But if you try to do the Challenge with IE7, you’ll find you won’t be able to do certain things as IE7 won’t have the necessary tools.

Hi, Just joined the party! Was wondering where is the first post for newcomers to check in… Any ideas?

I just joined and I’m very new to all of this. I am picking up so much … this is super cool! Where do you go to join a team? I’m trying to absorb all the videos I can…
July 31st, 2007 at 5:14 pm
I forgot to ask… I couldn’t find Google Notebook…. any idea where I can download it????
August 3rd, 2007 at 3:33 pm
The embedded video is only playing a couple minutes for me. then it starts back at the beginning.

I love your cat! Mine hollers at me to get off the computer and jumps on the keyboard…how about yours
August 5th, 2007 at 11:08 am
Guys, this has been amazing, even so far - once I got over the overwhelm, I’m loving it. Thanks so much for doing this.
Yes, I’m racing to catch up - 12:07 p.m. on Sunday and I’m just finishing this video! Once I get thru the rest, I promise I’ll get out to Borders or someplace like that (promise, promise….)
In the meantime I wanted to share this with you all…;-)
The End of the Internet

Why is everyone discussing Ed’s hair? LOL Did I miss something? WHo’s Frank? Sinatra? LOL
Anyhow, nice personal video and liked that “walk away, oh wait!” headshot in viewers face ending! Perfect.
August 6th, 2007 at 12:28 am
I understand now, why Ed is promoting teamwork in the 30 day challenge
August 7th, 2007 at 10:59 am
I am behind, but will get as much out of this as I can… I love the challenge although I am a newby to all this and a little confused at times. I think I’ll catch on… Hope I am able to join this next year also
I am excited about all the New things I can learn!!!

Ed… I think it is time to replace the Two Rock amp with another one. You always replace guitars in your video!!!
I am enjoying every bit of the videos!!! THANK YOU!
Cheers,
GAbi.

What’s the pussycat’s name?
June 13th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Yes, loved the cameo appearance at 5:51 to 5:55, “What’s up pussy cat?” A Tom Jones moment?
