Mentos and Diet Coke… the New Sushi
I once spent a summer in NYC and I couldn't believe I had access to sushi 24/7. Each day I'd have sushi for dinner and lunch, and this went on for about 2 weeks. Then suddenly one day during lunch, I spit out my sushi into a garbage can. I couldn't eat it again for…
Viral Video Popularizing Far Faster Than Blogging
Blogging has been all the rage for a few years — with cover stories on major magazines, blogs about blogs, and some bloggers literally becoming credible media sources that rival legacy print and television brands. Interestingly, there’s a trend that appears to have accelerated far faster and more dramatically than blogs. Online video. Take for…
Burger King P’wns McDonalds in Viral Video
When we weren’t having “my dad can beat up your dad” debates as children, we had the “Burger King versus McDonalds” debate. Of course, now I go wherever my kids tell me because they’re not going to eat a thing anyway until the meal toys are edible. But the WillVideoForFood 2008 “Fast Food Online-Video Award”…
AOL Video: The “Hail Mary” Play
AOL Video debuts with what “Video on the Web” calls a “Hail Mary Play.” AOL is in DEEP trouble. It’s hemmoraging customers at the rate of 2,000,000 a year. If they keep that up, pretty soon there won’t be an AOL. So what are they gonna do? They’re tapping their video content… Remember it’s AOL-Time…

Secret Mentos Elixir
I did a Google search for “hair loss” remedies and “gardening tips.” Seems the Mentos/soda combination is highly effective at both. Here’s my latest sponsored video for Mentos. Thanks, guys. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flk9Glq1LeU]

Thank you. I thought I was the only dope that took videos while driving. Now I can finally tell my wife I’m not the only one! And I don’t even read!
But seriously, get THEPod (www.thepod.ca). Best in-car gadget I own (and the only one). Works great with the camera and can withstand high-speed turns (with some assistance from one of those little sticky-gel-pad-thingies).
Best part? Everything. Because I’ve done it all (including driving with your teeth and driving off the side of the road while taping).
No teeth on the wheel here, but it’s the favorite in-car video I’ve made:

We finally get to see the man behind the TK initials. Sorry about Uncle Irv.
I’m not sure I can afford a http://www.thepod.ca, but thanks for reminding me about the sticky gel pad. At least that will keep the camera from rolling away. I’ve found the dashboard videos easier than the “hide the camera from the tollbooth guy” ones. In that case I stack a camera on top of a stack of my dry cleaning. It’s very adjustable and usually stays put. Trickiest part is pulling up to the right spot so he’s in frame.
I’ve got all my props together for my YouTube bubble burst video I’m shooting on the drive home. If I don’t upload or post in a while it’s because I swerved off the road trying to make it today.
Wow, Revver must not be paying well. Mine (red version) was only about $20. But you could make your own. It’s nothing more than a mini-beanbag for your camera. Just don’t open them. It’s hell to close them and keep all those beads inside.
Thanks for the condolences. And yes, that was one of my few on-camera scenes. Unlike you, I prefer to stay BEHIND the camera.
Back to my post at work.
