Let's be honest: any video where Ruby says she wants a "baby daddy" instead of a "baby brother" or "baby sister" is gonna be pretty solid.

I love doing these "day in the life" segments, and I'm pretty sure our audience loves them too. I set the video to automatically publish at 8am, and due to technical issues, I didn't get to post it to ctollerun.com until 10am. By the time we went live on our website, we already had 20 views and a like.

I hope we start branching into more segments like this with other high-profile athletes. I bet it'd be a huge draw.

This episode was shot in under a half hour and edited in under 90 minutes. We're really getting in a rhythm with this show. It's partly due to time constraints that we're all facing (me with my app development company, Julie with her freelance theatre directing and Carrie with her upcoming second child and other media appearances), but I mostly attribute it to our solid chemistry as a team. Carrie is nailing her lines in 1 take, Julie is writing solid copy and I'm cutting episodes together very efficiently. It's a cool experience when you can be a part of something so superb and efficient.

This very well could be the most thrilling post on my site to date. I can't remember exactly which blog I saw this on, but somebody posted the contents of their wallet for posterity not too long ago. I thought, "well, that's kind of a cool idea", so I'm going to share with you my pockets:

My pockets contain:

• A business card holder, containing cards for both my video production services as well as my Jed Mahonis Group company card.
• A wallet. I used to carry a serious George Costanza wallet, but have since pared it down to the essentials.
• A key ring. I used to think it was really cool to carry a ton of keys, but I've cut back on a substantial amount of my collection. Right now, I've got my Hawkeye Point keychain and my Summit bottle opener attached. I don't know why I still have my Gopher lanyard connecter still connected... Perhaps that'll be cut by the time I do Part 2 of this thrilling series.
• An iPhone 4S. This will almost certainly be upgraded to the iPhone 5S or whatever comes out this year.
• Some $20 Sony Headphones. I treat my pocket headphones with a decent amount of respect, but I seem to churn through these things like hotcakes. Some day, I'll have a solid pair of desk headphones.

Although we got off to a rough start with some technical difficulties, our Skype interview with Kate was a rousing success. For those who want a little more technical behind-the-scenes for how to record a video Skype call, we use Ecamm's excellent Call Recorder for Skype to record both streams to a single file.

We use an all-Apple Intermediate Codec workflow when editing our shows. We could keep the recorded Skype call in the same H.264-compressed MPEG-4 container, but two problems arise:

1) You can't watch the file in Safe RT; you have to roll with Unlimited RT. 2) The audio doesn't even render, making the whole thing useless anyway.

In order to just save headaches, I convert our MPEG-4 file to AIC with the infinitely-useful MPEG Streamclip. If you're a professional video editor using a Mac and don't have this as part of your tool chain, you're nuts.

Like I said before, Call Recorder for Skype places both streams side-by-side in a single file. That's pretty much what you see when both Carrie and Kate are on screen at the same time:

For those curious as to how we turn that into a single-clip, we just crop the video to the full width and height of Kate and drop it on a second track. In order to do the multi-track switching, I just cut the parts of Track 2 where I want to see both of them:

Thanks to the help of our stellar Android developer, the Jed Mahonis Group is happy to announce its first app on Google Play! The Android version of the Random Celebrity Generator comes in two flavors: Free and Pro. The free one comes with ads, naturally.

In addition, we updated the iOS version to 1.1 and added 300 celebrities to the mix. Get it today at randomcelebritygenerator.com!

Apparently, I am a terrible judge of determining which episodes will be successful and which will be total flops. I thought that an episode where we shot zero b-roll, failed to mic one of the participants and lasted for more than 8 minutes would surely be a flop. Fortunately, this is one of the most successful episodes we've aired this year based on social interaction. People have gone out of their way to tell us how helpful this episode was. While I'm sincerely proud of my work and glad I can help people out, I'm still just unable to see why this episode did so well, while other episodes I would assume would be popular just aren't.

Anyway, we've been hoping to have Katie as a featured guest since day one, and I'm really glad we were able to talk her into walking us through her post-workout routine. We actually had to cut a few good parts of the show because we only have two lav mics. We make do with what we have, but it's times like these I wish we had another lav mic and a field mixer. And a quad-copter.

Sometimes, the best episodes are the ones that get cut together in 10 minutes. When an episode comes together that quickly, that means all of us were on our game. Julie had a great script in place, Carrie was top-notch with her delivery and I was able to luck out with the lighting in the room. I laughed out loud several times while editing this one, and it's only a couple minutes long, so definitely check it out.

Andrew is a really fun guy to interview, and he and Carrie have a great chat about the cancellation of the NYC Marathon and his unreal performances at the Olympic Trials and the Houston Marathon.

But just in case you're not all that interested in elite athlete recovery, feel free to jump to 4:25, where Carrie says she wants to take a tour of Andrew's apartment. This was, perhaps, one of my favorite spots I've cut for C Tolle Run so far.

Another cooking episode. I didn't have time to grab our normal tripod, so I had to shoot this with the tripod Dale "found" at the middle school he works at. No wonder they were throwing that thing out.

Also, our wireless lav mics were giving me a lot of problems. I'm almost certain it's interference, which means I need to start getting good at setting the frequencies on those puppies.

On a lighter note, my favorite part of this episode was getting to sample some Midnight Ryder from Indeed Brewing. Some seriously great beer.

It took me about 3 hours of research and pulling my hair out to try and implement a UIScrollView that just scrolls a bunch of text vertically.

Turns out UIScrollView is for images, and UITextView is for text.

Talk about your ultimate face palm.
