<em>TheCandyGeek<\/em> video blog (or vlog) launches today and I wanted to share the news here on CollectingCandy.com.\u00a0 Make the jump to check it out!<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->TheCandyGeek vlog is a spin-off of the work I&#8217;ve been doing here on CollectingCandy.com for the past three-and-a-half-years.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a replacement, as I have no interest in stopping what I&#8217;m doing here.\u00a0 And it really couldn&#8217;t be a replacement for this, as TheCandyGeek aims to be something more than just a video version of the kind of content I&#8217;ve been bringing you here on CollectingCandy.<\/p>\n<p>Within TheCandyGeek vlog, I hope to mesh the worlds of my other geeky interests together with the world of candy culture.\u00a0 I have a lot of fun ideas about the kinds of things I want to do with it, though I suspect there&#8217;s going to be a lot of evolution on that front as it goes along.<\/p>\n<p>Juggling my work on CollectingCandy.com along with TheCandyGeek vlog will undoubtedly be challenging, but my plan is to put my best energies into both.\u00a0 In so doing, I hope that they will feed each other creatively and that my work on one will make both better.\u00a0 For those of you that have enjoyed and supported CollectingCandy.com, I hope join me for this next adventure and check TheCandyGeek out.<\/p>\n<p>So now, here&#8217;s the very first episode of TheCandyGeek vlog:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k-oAICNIc4w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I do want to let you know that I don&#8217;t plan to create new CollectingCandy.com entries for all subsequent TheCandyGeek vlog posts.\u00a0 They are two separate things.\u00a0 That said, I may create a permanent link button at the top or side CollectingCandy.com&#8217;s homepage that will lead to TheCandyGeek YouTube channel, so it&#8217;s always easy to find and catch up.<\/p>\n<p>But for now, that&#8217;s it!\u00a0 I hope you check out the first episode of TheCandyGeek, and I hope you dig it.\u00a0 See you next time!!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16902\"
