ByNalts

YouTube announced on January 30 (see YouTube blog) that UK ‘tubers can now join the Partners program and share in advertising revenue. Why do journalists often frown at this? Here’s a Texas journalist who is saddened by the idea. When I was interviewed by Fox after the program started in the US, the interviewers had…

Courtesy of Deirdre Straughan, here's a site that tests a lot of video players in one spot. Some of them load automatically, so you'll have to scroll down and pause. You'll be greeted by some cool music. Thanks, Deirdre, for bringing this to our attention and doing the testing that the rest of us are…

ByNalts

Reuters reports that a recent Microsoft/Yahoo deal will attempt to rival Google. Here’s a video report (thanks Jan). Yahoo agreed to the ten year deal (which brought its share price down according to CNN Money), but doesn’t get any insta-cash.

  2. I wanted to take my camera into the hospital when my girlfriend recently had surgery. I didn’t want to chance them manhandling my camera though. Glad all is well. Cheers.

  3. The trick is the lil’ “Pure Digital Point and Shoot.” They’re subtle and you can hide them in a syrofoam cup.

  5. Kevin, you are one crazy mofo! Your wife is a really good sport.
    My wife is always bugging me that she has three kids she has to take care of…me and my two boys. Yours has 5!!!

    I agree with MDJ, really good music!

    You know what would really be sick, when you do kick the bucket and, of course, you will have figured out a way to film that special moment, to have one of your kids upload it to Revver.

    But hopefully that will be after many years of videos of Nalts turning 40, Nalts first 40 year old doctor visit (you know what I’m talking about, I’m dreading it too) , turning 50, Nalts kids graduate from college, 60, Nalts has a grandchild, Nalts turns 70, Nalts has alzheimers watches his own videos and wonders who was the genius who filmed them, Nalts gets cured of alzheimers, Nalts turns 80, videos of Nalts at the Rest Home filming old people falling, Nalts gets all the other Rest Home patients to be in his new film, a remake of Cocoon. Nalts turns 90 and films first holographic video of his birthday, Nalts turns 100, kicks the bucket finally, gets kicked out of Heaven for filming an Angel playing frisbee with his halo.

  6. I’m planning early alzheimers. You’ll know it’s kicked in when you see the same 100 videos being uploaded each morning.

  7. Uh oh. My favorite sister found the video she told me not to post because it would have my future employer consider my insanity a pre-existing condition.

  8. Truly frightening, and gripping. We too are glad yous is aight. It’s like a train wreck you’re thinking “put the f(*&#n camera down dude’ and concentrate on living, but then again you ARE capturing life so intensely (and oddly not so seriously during serious moments). I can’t imagine what would happen if they gave you your own network series. I smell mega-reality hit.
