June 15: AIRRRRPORRRTS!!!

2007-06-15 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · reflection essay

Vlogging from an airport on his long trip home from the Dominican Republic, Hank says the week together showed how textual, video-blog and face-to-face communication differ, since neither brother is quite himself except face to face, and tells John he is happy to be his brother.

What is said

00:00:00 — Poor-quality iSight video from an airport; hating flying; long day home to Missoula before the deadline

  • ★ Hank records at an airport with his MacBook's built-in camera and a headset, apologising for the poor video quality. (playful) — 00:00:03
  • ★★ Hank, who hates flying, has been travelling since about 6 a.m. and will get home around 1 a.m.; he vlogs from the airport because his plane reaches Missoula after the deadline. — 00:00:32 · Missoula, Montana, Montana

00:01:02 — Long gaps between seeing each other; working on the Evil Baby Orphanage on vacation; textual vs video-blog vs face-to-face communication

  • ★★ Hank thinks the brothers are realising there may be long stretches between seeing each other; normal nowadays, he says, but uncomfortable. (hedged) — 00:01:02 · John Green
  • ★★ Hank says he and John worked on the Evil Baby Orphanage during the family vacation, and the idea is not getting any less awesome. (playful) — 00:01:02 · Evil Baby Orphanage, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ Hank says a week of face-to-face contact made Brotherhood 2.0 somewhat redundant but highlighted how textual, video-blog and face-to-face communication differ, which is what the project is about. (hedged) — 00:01:31 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★★ Hank realises neither brother is quite himself over instant messenger or even video blogs, but they cannot help being themselves face to face. — 00:01:31

00:02:00 — John's craziness: his supreme disappointment over the cancelled miniature donkey polo

  • ★★ Hank was excited by donkey polo because it is ridiculous, but does not understand John's supreme disappointment and thinks heat is a fine reason to cancel it. (playful) (hedged) — 00:02:00 · John Green

00:02:27 — John is an amazing brother; last day in the DR; wanting to be home; Katherine; sign-off

  • ★★ Apart from occasional bouts of high-stress insanity, Hank calls John a pretty amazing brother and guy, and says he is really happy to be his brother. — 00:02:27 · John Green
  • ★ Hank notes Katherine will see this video before she sees him. — 00:02:27 · Katherine Green
