[Post] Lisa Nation, lend me your ears

During the third round of the Mahalo Vlog Idol competition today, Sarah Atwood and I got to talking about the skills necessary for a good host, most notably the importance of geek cred. We both agreed that it's easier to take someone technical with good presence and polish them up to become a better host than it is to take a professional host and teach her to "get it," and I expect the fans of Mahalo Daily would agree.
But almost as soon as [...]

So in case you haven't already heard on Twitter, in a few hours I'll be going to Los Angeles for the open casting call for Mahalo Daily.

The first person who ever made me think I could be "famous on the Internet" was Stile from stileproject.com. Here's a little insight about [...]
