Every once in a while a video comes along that is so poetic and interesting, you can’t help but share. Thanks, Jan (shared via Twitter).

My favorite part about this YouTube IQ 6-question video quiz is how I bombed the first question (but thank goodness it didn’t count). By SirJaredTyler.
Sorry, online-video stars of 2011 and 2012. Seems your future is “asymptotical,” according to this report by SFGate titled “Inside Google’s Boot Camp for Viral Video Stars.” The New York Times covered the recent program for the “chosen” YouTube Partners that were selected as YouTube NextUp winners (see explanation of program). Yeah I had to…
A must-see video (thanks Jan) because in 4 days this clip has been viewed 2.5 million times on YouTube alone. So it’s touching a nerve. It’s the Budweiser “wuzzup” advertisement in 2008. A depressed unemployed guy, a soldier, a dude needing healthcare and pain pills, and a screwed investor. Or something like that. It appears…
Remember Mark Day? Showing he still cares, he’s jumped on the Double Dream Hands wave with a cat. It’s a rather perfect formula, and an irresistibly inviting thumbnail even before I knew it was Mark’s cat. Cats sell, kids. Forget what your marketing teachers ever told you about cows. To recap the “Double Dream Hands”…
TubeFilter, which tracks the “best scripted web series,” reports that NBC Universal Digital Studio will create a slate of new original web series to be produced with 60 Frames Entertainment. NBC promises to bring the “most talented writers and producers in entertainment” in efforts to “create a much higher-quality production value than what is normally…
So a week or so ago I sent Chris Brogan a note. Asked him if he could get me a free pass to Blog World San Fran Los Vegas (thanks CB and SG), and offered to fill a last-minute speaking slot, be on a panel, or hand out drinks. I can’t let Steve Garfield get…

That was so deep… I’m going to go make my own work of art. It’s brown and bigger than a dot… the canvas is a white porcelain bowl.
Thanks for passing that along. Added it to http://tech.arlingtonlibrary.org crediting your blog for where I found it and the artist, as well. Really stunning.
he did a really good job, eh?
I love those motion thingies. So cool.
Thanks, Kevin!
That was pretty cool, even if it did sound vaguely like a Dr. Seuss book.
Where is marquis
When I finished watching, I felt a sudden yet deep sorrow that I was too young to have attended Woodstock…….
Thanks, Onmyphone. 🙂
Ahem. Okay. My turn.
Anniversary
(A true story)
by Marquisdejolie
On the anniversary of your return
to this toxically antiseptic purebred mongrel aluminum-sided
country of ingeniously lobotomized pastel-colored Greed clones,
You decided IT.
With the high infidelity-travelling worst class religious
three-piece suit disguised mind masturbating fascists
and their herpes infected quiche-eating debutante consorts
scavenging through your pockets,
And their by-product puke-haired sexless New Wave psuedo intellectual
soda pop sophisticate sons and daughters
with THEIR neo-liberal arts concept of cheaply-paid-for individualism media broadcast through your sensibilities,
And the tired Catholic recalibrations of politically expediant
mass market tested logical positivist back door morality
shorting out your heart and brain,
And brother veterans’ ceaseless whining to and panhandling from
the guiltless ridden draft-deferred de rigueured shame accountants
embarrassing you to your patriotic core,
IT decided YOU.
With ALL decided,
you stepped into your over-mortgaged
imitation life father knows best den,
sat in your favorite recovered lumpy
hand-me-down Gerber-stained lounge chair,
put the barrel of your NRA approved
Brazilian-made blue metal .38 in your mouth,
cocked the hammer,
and fired.
In cold October.
I miss you.
And now,
my Octobers
are colder.
