Cobain is one of those artists who, even if you weren't into the music he created, you still kind of knew of him.

The Art of Life With Steve Slotow

About two and a half years ago, two guys, who often bumped into each other at tech and other press events, decided to create a web series/vlog, which they called The Art of Life.

So Steve Slotow and I are still plugging along - albeit slowly - with the Art of Life web series. We are on Episode 11 and the intention is to keep building.

Kojo Baffoe & Steve Slotow Present The Art Of Life Eps 9

The 9th episode is done. Shot, edited and finally up on our YouTube channel which you can check out and subscribe to HERE. We generally shoot a couple of episodes in advance and then it is the process of editing and uploading. It would be good to get feedback from those of you who interact with the series either here, on Steve's blog or on YouTube. The intention is to keep going and see where it'll take us. Maybe we'll throw a party with Episode 50, or something. Anyway, in this episode, Steve and I chat about the Sony Action Cam, which is going head to head with the Go-Pro range of cameras....

The Art of Life Eps 5

Another episode of the Art of Life with Steve Slotow and myself is in the bag and live. My piloting inadequacies were front and centre with this episode and we also chatted about the Xbox One (no, we don't have one) and the iGrill.

Also, I've said it before, but if you have interesting products or stuff, share them.   [youtube]http://youtu.be/yNWzA5shTWo[/youtube] Shoot at 21Tanks
