Emphatic Yes
A noteworthy viral video creator. He’s Emphatic Yes, and Carson Daly says he “just can’t get enough.” I agree. My favorite: The conscience pays a visit… crashing on the couch, swilling beer.
BBC Mistakes a Cab Driver for an Internet
This is one of the funniest videos that is painful to watch. For a segment about online audo downloading, a BBC interviewer thinks she's speaking with the editor of a technology website- New and Wireless. What she doesn't realize is her interviewee is a cab driver that was booked for another segment. What makes this video…
Flash Faces & Parsnip Soup
These aren't videos, but they're both pretty interesting. 1) Make your own faces with FlashFace.

He's a regular contributor to News of the Weird).
Buying a Bucket on Date Night
My wife and I used our babysitter night to buy a bucket tonight. Well actually, it went like this. She said we needed a bucket. So I decided to make a video about how pitiful we are to use a date night to buy a bucket. Then we ditched the video, but ended up doing…
When Your Blog Gets 6,000 Views in a Day…
… you know you’ve been written up on HappySlip. I had assumed everyone knows who she is, but I’m finding out otherwise. Get over to HappySlip’s blog right now. Her blog is People Magazine to my East Baltimore Guide. Who did your logo, HappySlip!? It’s splendid.
Back to School Video
It’s back to school time! You can tell by the slower commute as you simmer behind dozens of school buses. The other cue is the frantic squirrels. In the Northeast, squirrels sense “back to school” time as their last opportunity to burry nuts. This puts the rodents into a wild fit, in which they often run…

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.
