All you can ever hope when you make a stupid online video is a reaction. You don’t really care if it’s positive or negative. And that’s what I got with the Lay Me Off. Yahoo gave me a gift I’ll always treasure. It’s hundreds and hundreds of scathing comments about the video, and I’ve only…
A video parody of what might happen as mobile advertising starts targeting you based on your location, and sending you instant offers to lure you into retail stores.
Another call for volunteers that want to reveal how much they’ve made on Revver, Eefoof, and other ad-sharing video sites. Anyone? I’m between $2K and $3K to date.
It’s years old, but it’s still one of my favorite online videos. In “Sound-a-Vision,” watch Homestar runner and his enemy Strongbad have a duel to settle their battle over the remaining parsnips at the depot. It’s a wonderful homage to early films with bad edits, repetitive lines, missing scenes and awkward pauses.
Thanks to “Seeing Through the Windows” author Preston Gralla and SFGate’s Matt Rosoff for pointing out what I’d missed. While YouTube/Google retains its massive lead in online-video viewing, Microsoft is catching up. I’ve written about comScore’s newest rankings, but failed to recognize that Microsoft quietly crept from #7 (last month) to #2. That fact went largely unnoticed…

Yes, it worked well, didn’t it!? It’s almost as if forethought had been put into it.
40’s??!?!? We are so old Kevin. Tomorrow, I start my 50th year strolling on this rock. When asked what I have contributed during my stay here I will affect my best quizzical look and volunteer…”Well I once made a cheese video for a Nalts collab”…
I think I’ll kill myself now….

Hey! What a coinkydink! I made a chesse video for a Nalts collab too. What are the odds?
