Scare Tactic Prank
There are plenty small sites out there that sell ad space around videos they scrape from television. I'm not a fan of this piracy, but I can't help enjoying what's available… especially this clip from Sci-Fi's "Scare Tactics." Imagine you're a plumber fixing a toilet and the owner gets stranger and stranger by the minute….
YouTube Nears Transition to Television
In case you haven’t heard, the world’s largest online-video site is challenging television and cable with 100 channels funded by $100 million. The channels will be rolled out over the next year, starting in November. They will be available on the company’s website as well as all YouTube-enabled devices, including Apple’s devices. Until then, YouTube has…
Crowdsourcing a Creator’s Best Videos
I had trouble when putting together my “best of Nalts” DVD because it’s not easy to rank my videos on YouTube or other sites by rating. Also- the ratings aren’t necessarily fair. A popular video ALWAYS gets a lower rating than one that’s seen by a small group of my regular viewers. Superl8tive.com just invented…
Wired and Fast Company Writers Aren’t Very Funny
Wired Magazine writer Meghan Keane isn’t very funny at all. Neither is the author of the article she echoed by Fast Company Writer Carlye Adler. You know what? I’ll save you the trouble of reading these sobering articles. Comedy sites aren’t attracting sufficient advertising online. Except for College Humor, which is niche enough and maintains an…

How to insult someone from the convenience of video on YouTube or iPhone. Yep- there’s a video or app for that.
Barack Obama Says Lose the SUV, Fatty.
I really find little pleasure in politics, and rarely appreciate political humor. But when someone told me today that Barack Obama said the following in Oregon, it created an uncontrollable desire in me to satire the remarks. Nalts has already given ShayCarl his assignment for a collab video, but I can’t find the video footage of this…

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.
