  Hi Lanette,
  
  I enjoyed your first video blog! I can also relate to James' forward approach. He left the first comment on my blog yesterday, and it wasn't a simple hello, haha. But I viewed it exactly as you did. Some of the best questions are those that question ourselves. Unfortunately, most people aren't like James, they will just nod in agreement for fear of being considered rude.
  
  If we don't continue question each other how will we ever evolve as testers?
  
  Again, great post, hope to see more soon!

     Hi Michael,
     
     I'm glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, the audio is off in the YouTube version, making it look like a bad overdubbed movie. In both versions the lighting is a bit off, making me look like I am half different colors, or put on makeup in the dark on just half of my face, but hey, learning curve with the video format I guess. I'll try a few different things to fix that next time.
     
     Being challenged to do better is a gift. I wish that more people were lucky enough to be asked for more rather than given praise in areas they are strong. Many of us get some experience and then plateau. I agree that we can challenge each other to evolve beyond mediocrity.
     
     Thanks,
     Lanette

  You had an important message of how many different ways can one take a certain challenge and the mutual value of it. I am glad you did a video of the same.
  
  To me, the Youtube version seemed to have an audio video synch problem. Is that just me?

     The YouTube version has a serious synching problem. In addition, the lighting is quite a problem in both versions. I'm half lit, so I look like I'm wearing 1/2 makeup, of 1/2 my face is a different color or something, but it is just the lighting. This video stuff has more considerations than I thought. Any tips for getting the YouTube upload to synch the audio correctly?
     
     Thanks. This message is about James mostly. I wish that people would consider his intent, which I believe strongly is the betterment of testing. I read his point of view, and I felt bad that I didn't clarify with him that I was thinking about it still when I wrote my first blog. I wanted to remind myself why I used the IEEE definition or thought it was ok, because I was planning to not use it again. When I looked closer at it, even when I used it the first time I didn't agree that it was a good definition of what a test case is, but I had many reasons to not think of my own definition at the time. I'm glad I was challenged to think of one. If I go backwards in my blogs, it was a turning point for me in thinking about testing.

  Hi Lanette,
  An eye opening video for me. I have this not so good habit of not getting into Q & A mode with people more often simply because I think its time consuming or because I think what I understand is good enough for me(Over-confidence? I don't know).
  
  I see a point here to indulge in healthy discussions without hating each other, disagree with yet continue to respect each other and so on. I think I should brave this more often.
  
  There is no sync up between audio & video. I would like you to do more vlogs. I loved your lightning talk at the Rebel Alliance too
  
  Thank You,
  Parimala Shankaraiah

  Great video blog, Lanette. i liked the way you have put across the approach to respond questions whether or not one is passionate about the question/area or not; and being open and transparent about the opinions.
  Additionally about taking action on the workitems from the discusion, which shows the intent of learning more, being an aspirant learner from the situations.
