Amazon loves me. I’ll tell you how I know, and even show you the proof. You see Amazon recently differentiated itself with the Kindle “mayday” button that allows it direct contact. This is a sharp contrast from Google, where getting a human is like requesting the algorithm behind organic search rankings. Today I had my…
The nice thing about moderately promoted online-video contest is that your odds are really good. HomeCamera.com (a free home surveillance system) asked if I’d do a sponsored video. I offered instead to promote a contest if they’d give out some of the D-Link wireless cameras (see image below) that are being sold with HomeCamera preconfigured….
I always liked Weird News, and used to syndicate it for a local newspaper in Georgetown. That means I pulled it down from the wire, laid it out, and added a photo of a squirrel when necessary. Hey it sounds easy, but those weren’t the desktop publishing days, damnit. I used hot wax. So here, unrelated to…
This WSJ post claims it’s the death of the “slush pile.” It seems publishers like Random House once reviewed unsolicited books for consideration. Not anymore. “Getting plucked from the slush pile was always a long shot—in large part, editors and Hollywood development executives say, because most unsolicited material has gone unsolicited for good reason.” Now there’s a…
May not seem like a big deal… learning to tie your shoe a bit faster. But what if it could change your life? Here’s Rocketboom’s spoof on Shernglee02’s “Tie Your Shoes Faster” video, with homage to Sliding Doors. Source: LoadedPun, which features the video and asks the question… Will cameos by internet stars hold the…
Google closed on the acquisition of DoubleClick today, and issued this statement to address concerns (continued Dart service, as well as privacy provisions). As a buyer of interactive media (primarily paid search but also targeted display), I like this deal. Google’s muscle, innovation and discipline from the paid search origins means this could enhance the…

Yes.
aw. I wish I was on the news. Rest assured, if I were as newsworthy as this, my montage video would probably be 100X more egotistical. That’s some stuff to be proud of there, Nalts.
Hank is in the other room saying “Bad bad bad. No no no. thbb thbb thbb. I am dead.”
That Nalts. What a loser.
@4: Definitely NOT a loser. Just a little too full of himself.
Couldn’t get it to stream. This was the worst-streamed video I’ve ever seen. Blip or WordPress?
@6: Worked fine for me.
You have the gift of humility.
ok then.
Actually I was in the news last week “clicks”
@6 It was blip. Bad blip? @3 Yes I was touching my wee wee.
You totally almost got us BOTH yelled at today when you chose to try and make me watch this instead of doing our chores.
…jerkface
Egotistical? No.
Made of awesome? Yes.
@7
What browser are you using?
@11
I’m using the latest version of Firefox, the current version of Flash Player, the latest version of Quicktime and have high speed internet and I still can’t get this video to stream past the intro.
OMG! Isn’t that like the same news clip chopped up into like 50 pieces? I surrendered to your absurdity eons ago!
Best part of the clip was WoN!
ok, ok…I liked it! =)
Finally got the player to work. This is a much better trailer than your “Trailer” trailer. Trailer…just like saying that..trailer..
@14: Firefox. On FiOS.
@18
We have decided that I can’t stream this video because of a Charter Communications server problem.
I just switched to Verizon FiOS about a week ago and love it. Today there were cable outages all over the area and I still had Internet.
