Brotherhood 2.0: January 3rd
By the way, we need someone to tell us why the audio in our imovies suddenly starts synching wrong when we upload to youtube. Are you that person? If so, you win a prize. Please help us in the comments.
A daily blog by author John Green, winner of the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award for his debut work of fiction, "Looking for Alaska." John's second novel, "An Abundance of Katherines," is now available at Amazon.com.

I'll leave you a comment since you don't have any yet! It probably is hard being John Green's brother, yet then again, when you try and submit your novel for publication you can write really big in the query letter: I'M JOHN GREEN'S BROTHER!!!
These videos are funny. Keep 'um coming.
And I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more, just to see you and John perform 500 miles on your videoblog.
I say....: Punishments and Challenges!
And also, and also, and also John Green does not remind me quite as much of Napoleon Dynamite as um . . .you do. (Especially when you do that Flashdance inspired, keep-it-from-the-wife happy dance of yours.)
I heart your videoblogs.
Wow. Your brother sure can dance. Now the whole world knows who the cool green is . . .
Wow, this blog experiment is totally cool and I would probably rip you guys off and try it myself but...um...well, my younger brother doesn't seem to be speaking to me (and I so bet it has something to do with my Dad who tells stories that don't completely connect with reality and yet my little brother does not seem to have figured that out yet.) and I'm not speaking to my older brother ...since...well, then he might know where I live and come around and camp in my front yard until I give him money.
But otherwise, I would so do this.
Dudes:
Re the audio sync issue, I have read a little about this and believe that it's fixable by using MP3 audio in the file you upload. I'm guessing you guys are using MPEG-4 video (and their associated AAC audio). If you have QuickTime Pro, you can change the audio track to be MP3, and supposedly (...) this makes YouTube happy. There may be other ways to accomplish this (aside from buying QuickTime Pro), but I guess it sorta depends on what applications you have sitting around.

PS - I think your typewriter-thingy intro has a small typo? Or a funny joke about typos, either one. :)
@Chris
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that typo. I actually noticed before we started, but haven't had a chance to fix it yet. iMovie titling is very finicky, when I just put in the 'i,' everything explodes and letters start appearing before they should. Don't worry though, I'm on it. The intro will change significantly as the show goes on anyhow.
@de_scrbies
yeah...I've heard that one before, and, if you stay tuned, you might see me mention it.
@Jan
Sorry about your brothers...
i just wanted to say, look how little snow we have in tahoe! it sucks!
