the mrbrown show 24 April 2006: taking a super nice bus on the NS highway

No Miyagi this week, just mr brown and Mr Tan (yes he is back!) podcasting from a noisy Super Nice coach to Kuala Lumpur.

We were supposed to take a premium coach (like those from the Aeroline and the Nice bus companies), which I booked online, but for some reason, I ended up booking tickets for Thursday for all six of our party, when we were supposed to depart Friday. Of course, I only discover this on the taxi to the pickup point, on Friday morning itself.

So we ended up on a Super Nice bus (that's what this competitor called its buses).

We decided to podcast our experience travelling up the North-South Highway, including cultural experiences like stopping over at Yong Peng rest stop, and being participants of, er, police entrepreneurialism.

the mrbrown show 20 April 2006: jedi elections special

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... a young republic was having their elections, and the ruling party decided to have a dialogue with the disenfranchised youth.

A fanfic parody by mr brown and Mr Miyagi.

the mrbrown show (video) 7 April 2006: WTF! Show Preview 5 (ft mr brown)

This is the second video we made to make up for missing Day 4 of Videoblogging Week 2006.

"Alan Wong" lives in an estate that has everything upgraded. Yet he wants to "switch".

Once again, we would like to stress that this video podcast does not stream "explicit political content" because that is prohibited during the election period under the Singapore's Election Advertising Regulations.

We wouldn't want that, because prison got no broadband.

Nope, all this aims to be is entertaining.

the mrbrown show (video) 7 April 2006: WTF! Show Preview 4 (ft mr miyagi)

To make up for missing Videoblogging Week 2006 Day 4, we decided to release two videos at once.

"Victor Chan" is a resident in an estate that hasn't seen upgrading for a long long time. And he wants to "switch".

We would like to stress that this video podcast does not contain any "explicitly political content". Or else you would not be able to watch it during the Singapore General Elections.

We just like the Apple "Switch" commercials, that's all.

the mrbrown show (video) 3 April 2006: The WTF! Show Preview 1

According to vlogger and Rocketboom correspondent, Steve Garfield, this week is Videoblogging Week 2006. And bloggers are encouraged to vlog from April 3rd to the 9th, for seven days. That's one video a day!

If you want to have some fun with vlogging, go ahead and just do it, and use the Technorati tag: videobloggingweek2006

Since we were already working on our upcoming video podcast show, The WTF! Show, we decided to give you guys a little behind-the-scenes look. We shot this while location scouting for our new vlog, and it was shot entirely with my Nokia N70 mobile phone. So please pardon the less than Oscar-winning video and sound (we have significantly better gear to shoot the actual show, don't worry).
