Leave it to the hyper talented Davideo Designs (see his website at www.davideodesign.co.uk) to create this magically delicious “YouTube Celebrity Dance-Off” competition. The poor guy solicited clips from YouTubers, and patienty waited. Finally he decided to go with special effects listed below. After SMPFilms decided to bust me in his recent video (which will probably…
In the unlikely event you’re in New Orleans reading this, please evacuate. I’m reading this USAToday article about my home town and so sad to read about people that are choosing to stay behind because they’re “tired of running,” don’t think Gustav is going to be bad, or want to protect their “stuff.” Protect your…
Yey! I’m on the Retarded Policeman today! 🙂
In one of its most underwhelming functionality changes in the past decade, YouTube now offers captions. Qui donne une merde? You’ll need to look for it by clicking the arrow button and selecting “captions” but it probably won’t exist in your language.

I’m running through various options, experimenting with various free software, and running into brick walls. Hours pass. Then I had this…
Below is “YouTube in 1985,” a video collaboration Matt Kobal. I had never heard of Matt before he asked if I’d play the role of a YouTube billing agent. The video depicts an imaginary 1985-version of YouTube. For the record, I had that much hair and more but spent my time drinking at the New Orleans World Fair, not working…
Last week I wrote one of my more seminal posts on the convergence of paid search and video. Those who comment on my blog, of course, are rather indifferent about these vital topics and would just prefer me to stick with such topics as farts and YouTube drama. Alas, I finally know how our summer…
Google knows what you’re going to search for even before you turn on your computer. Google Suggests (see definition) — which is a real-time ‘auto-fill’ of your search words based on typical searches — is now part of a typical Google homepage search. The tool “graduated” from Google Labs according to a recent post on the official Google blog….
