Why Youtube is the best.

This is not a list of reasons I love Youtube. It is a list of things I want to do on Youtube. So, really...the title is utterly misleading.

I am considering making Youtube videos, but I should probably get a decent camera first...Though mine does do "HD." However much HD a Kodak Zi6 can do, at least...
Ideas:
Music Theory lessons, done Michelle-style
Crafting videos, but not stupid and boring
Nerdy rants/reviews, probably exactly as you expect they would be
A few everyday life vlogs



So, to break it down, for Music Theory Lessons, done Michelle-style:
"Why Every Good Boy Does (Not Do) Fine Always" - a video about note names on the staff and the acronyms we use to identify them. They are confusing, and I plan to make it a little clearer for those who have not considered this.
"Intervals: Whole Steps, Half Steps, and the Major and minor 2nd" - talking about whole steps and half steps and clarifying that they are, indeed, Major and minor 2nds.
"What's the Deal with Scales?" - where I will go a little bit into why the major scale is the way it is. This will include its origins in the early church modes and the way it is constructed with whole and half steps.
And many more that I have not yet planned.

Everyday life vlogs:
"Jack of All Nerds" - an introductory video, including a brief explanation of "Jack of All Nerds" and why it does not really make sense, but I like it anyway.

Crafting videos:
Knitting tutorials
Great knitting patterns I've found
Reading patterns
Reading charts
Writing patterns
Writing charts
Crafts I'm doing, with credit to and permission from their creators

Nerdy rants/reviews:
Nerdy does not apply only to gaming and social habits. Think more like the Vlog Brothers (who are a major inspiration for me) where it will be informative, often about nerdy/geek culture, and (hopefully) entertaining.

Now: Why did I write all of this out instead of just doing it? I love lists. Making lists makes me happy and makes the ideas more tangible for me.

Feedback is welcome! Have an awfully good day. =)
