It’s Friday, my dog is healing nicely, and I’m picking up my kids from school (my son went home sick). The real reason for this video is a message for Chris Provost of Park Pass. He may never see it, but it was important for me to say it. I’m grateful for his generosity to me and Rachel, and I’m still amazed that someone who is a serious content creator with lots of subscribers took the time to help me out.

A Stranger Gave Me Tickets to Adam the Woo's Celebration of Life

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

About ten days ago there was no way I was getting into the Adam the Woo celebration of life. The tickets were sold out and I was shut out. Today I have two tickets in my hand and I’m going. I didn’t know Adam when he was alive. I only saw a handful of his movie location videos by accident and never subscribed. I discovered him after he passed, a couple of days before Christmas, when another vlogger had an emotional outpouring about the news. I’ve been binging his content ever since, and it’s what keeps me dedicated to recording and publishing on this channel after years of false starts.

I Want To Write a Eulogy for Adam The Woo's Father, Mother and Sister To Express My Gratitude

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

It’s President’s Day, the house is quiet, and I’m trying to work but I’m really distracted, mostly by thoughts of Adam the Woo. It’s a little embarrassing to admit, since I don’t know him the way everyone else does, but his content has become a big part of my everyday life. I almost always wind down my day with a video or two or three, whether it’s Adam enjoying the Magic Kingdom on a rainy day or touring his apartment in Celebration. His passing is also what made me get serious about vlogging. I’d had plenty of false starts over the past 10 years of doing YouTube stuff, but seeing the treasure trove he left behind made me want to do the same for my family and friends.

Adam the Woo's Celebration of Life is SOLD OUT -- Wish I Could Go!

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

We’re in the car on the way to the Pantages Theater, and I couldn’t stop thinking about Adam the Woo, so I decided to talk about it on the drive. This channel exists because of the inspiration I got from him. He was a vlogger who did his thing for a very long time, and he passed away on December 22nd. I honestly didn’t pay much attention to him while he was alive, other than stumbling on a couple of his filming-location videos for movies I liked. It wasn’t until Brickey broke the news on his channel that I really dug in and binged his content.

Summary

With all the ugly things going on right now, it can really shake your faith in humanity. I found that stepping away from that and following people who aren’t talking about it, people who are just being creative, having fun and enjoying life, refocused me a little.

Starting an AI Atari Project, Birthday Stuff and Adam the Woo’s Legacy

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

I’ve got a few things on my mind this week. It’s Rachel’s birthday, and we’re taking Friday off to go to a KROQ event here in Los Angeles. She’s a huge fan of the station and the morning show, so she’s looking forward to it far more than I am. Birthday presents are tough in our house because we usually just get what we want right away. This year was special since she’s now cancer-free, so I got her a little trinket with some writing on it about how she inspired me and what she went through. It was hard being the husband on the sidelines, and I can’t read it out loud without getting emotional.

My Wife on Camera, Turning Vlogs into Blogs, and Remembering Adam the Woo

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

This is one of my sit-at-the-desk catch-up videos, and I’ve got a lot to share. First up, I built an auto-generated blog that turns the videos on this channel into blog entries. I’m not interested in chasing the YouTube algorithm or reworking my thumbnails. This channel is a brain dump, mostly for me, my friends and my family. But I still want people to find it, like someone searching for what it’s like to be the husband of a wife with breast cancer. Google and YouTube are the two biggest search engines, so my goal was to bring traditional search traffic to my vlog without having to manage a blog on the side.

Tatiana Schlossberg's Story Hit Me Hard And Closing Out 2025 With Hope

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

As I sit here on New Year’s Eve, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. The passing of Tatiana Schlossberg, a member of the Kennedy family, really struck a chord with me. Her story of being diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia shortly after giving birth to her second child was heartbreaking. Reading about her fears of not being around to see her children grow up hit so close to home, especially given my own wife’s recent cancer journey. This has been a challenging year for me and my family, but we’re determined to end 2025 with a sense of hope. While it’s been tough dealing with my wife’s radiation treatments and the power outages caused by the recent storms, I’m proud of how far we’ve come. And on a positive note, I’ve found my footing as a Salesforce developer, which has been a rewarding experience. As we look ahead to 2026, I’m feeling optimistic about the future and the opportunity to continue sharing our story and advocating for increased cancer research funding. It’s been a rollercoaster, but I’m grateful for the chance to archive our lives and move forward with purpose.

Inspired by Adam the Woo's Legacy #adamthewoo #thedailywoo #vlogging

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

The unexpected passing of Adam the Woo, a beloved vlogger and content creator, has had a profound impact on me. Binging his videos over the past few days has filled me with a newfound sense of inspiration and purpose. I’m struck by the idea that life is short, and you never know when your time will come. Adam’s legacy has inspired me to be more intentional about sharing my own raw thoughts and life experiences with the world through my personal vlog. I genuinely believe that the best way to honor Adam’s memory is to encourage others to follow in his footsteps and start their own vlogging journey. There’s something special about people being willing to open up and share their lives, and I want to be a part of that movement. If my videos can inspire just one person the way Adam’s have inspired me, then I’ll feel like I’m making a meaningful contribution. This is a theme I want to explore more in my content going forward - the power of vulnerability, authenticity, and leaving a lasting legacy.

My Wife’s Cancer Battle & How Reality Sets In

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

It’s the day after Christmas, and I have a lot on my mind. This year, my wife Rachel was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in April, and watching her handle the treatments with such grace has been humbling. Comparing her journey to that of my childhood friend who is battling pancreatic cancer has really made me realize how random and fragile life can be. This is why I started this vlog channel - after the passing of YouTube creator Adam the Woo, I was inspired by the legacy he left behind just by being present and hitting record. I want to do the same before everything gets swallowed up by AI. I’ve been wrestling with my own mortality and feeling the urge to create and share my thoughts more freely, without worrying about views or compensation. This channel is my outlet to unload my mind and archive my perspectives, just like a blog, without the pressure of perfection.

The Impact of Cancer Treatment on Self Image #breastcancerawareness #cancerjourney

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Summary

You know, one of the toughest parts of Rachel’s cancer journey has been dealing with the physical changes that come with treatment. When she first started chemo, she was really dreading the idea of losing her hair. For a woman, your hair is such a huge part of your identity and self-image. Rachel had always taken pride in her long, beautiful hair, and the thought of it all falling out was devastating to her. But as difficult as it was, Rachel ended up surprising herself with how she handled it. At first, it was a real shock when the hair started coming out. She felt so self-conscious and unsure of how she would look without it. But then she just kind of embraced it, you know? She shaved it all off and wore scarves and hats, and she realized that her appearance didn’t define her. What mattered most was her health and getting through this challenge. It’s been really inspiring to see Rachel navigate this with such grace and resilience. She’s a true warrior, and I’m so proud of how she’s handled everything. Even though cancer treatment can be really hard on your self-image, Rachel has shown that it’s possible to get through it and come out the other side feeling empowered.
