It’s not every day that I have a chance to videotape a zillionaire without him knowing. Here’s “Bill Gates Raw!”
The idea was to see how many subtle Mac or Linux comments we could make before driving the Microsoft founder off the deep end.
Buzzfeed featured my YouTube prank antics in an article today titled “An Early Dad YouTuber Reflects On The Viral Prank Videos That Made Him Famous — And Ones He’s Since Decided To Delete.” It’s part of an ongoing series by Tanya Chen about YouTube and pranks. I discuss some of my experience with pranks, and…
Have you heard about Jack Rebney (aka Winnebago Man)? Turn down your speakers and listen to his outtakes that (legend has it) were pieced together by his video crew. Invisible Engine Films offers this version of Rebney, puppet style. Can you understand now why I'm obsessed with online video?

We watch iCarly nonstop. Me an the four kids. And we watch Shaycarl, and Shaycarl watches us. Even babytard, see? Now Freddy (Nathan Kress) from iCarly met Shay this week. That’s so weird, huh? We’re like two-degrees of separation from someone on one of our favorite shows. If you’re reading this, you’re three degrees of separation….
Oh thank GOD there’s something interesting in the news today. I was scanning my RSS feeds and it seemed like all the recent headlines were old (a great way to get demoted on someone’s RSS reader is to not have fresh articles)… or boring stuff. Verizon iPhone Facebook Twitter, blah, blah. But Tiger Woods farting…
I’m not a regular CurrentTV checker, so thanks to Mark for alerting me to “Viral Video Film School” in the comments of my last post. He also recommended SuperNews on Current, and I was not disappointed with “The Christmas Bailout.” Below is a Brett Erlich video capturing 2009’s finest moments in the form of a quiz. You’ve heard…

Man. I’m a Mac user and I found that rather offensive. Geez. Leave Bill alone with the Apple/Linux vs Microsoft. It’s old and tired already.
You could have done so much more with this opportunity. How about maybe asking him about his foundation and how he’s looking to help children around the world.
Pretty sad state of affairs when you use a kid to say “I like Linux” to Bill Gates.
Sue him? SUE him? Bill Gates could have him eaten…with wasabe.
But Nalts is not afraid.
I’m not entirely stupid. I had my 4-year-old grab his wallet before he left. Helloooooo amazon.com.
Bill Gates impersonators are a dime a dozen. Only Elvis has more. This guy could maybe pass for a 30ish Bill Gates, but he’s definitely not the almost 50ish version we see today. Nice try, nonetheless.
Do you honestly think I have budget for a real Bill Gates impersonator? This guy just happened to look like him and he obliged to this video. Interestingly enough, he’s in the software business and visits Microsoft. They often think he’s an impersonator.
I didn’t realize how young he looked relative to Gates until I found some recent photo of the Microsoft founder. Maybe I should have put some makeup on this guy.
