Views of any of my videos appears inversely related to a) how much time I put into them, and b) how much I like them. This parody of CES (consumer electronics show in Las Vegas) took longer than expected, but I don’t like it. So maybe the forces will counteract. Interested in the “making of”…
I wrote about Jessica Kurson recently, and yesterday spent the afternoon with the nationally-known Comedian in NY City (Times Square). I don’t think I’ve had this much fun making a video in ages, and I’m certain this was my finest hour in NYC ever. Subscribe to her here.

Just when I was feeling mortal for falling off the top 100 most-subscribed YouTube partner list (a fact that ZackScott and PeterCoffin felt compelled to remind me via voicemail), I scored placement on Huffington Post via the lovely and talented Daisy Whitney. Check out this report from iMediaConnection in Vegas (or LA or SanFran, I’m…
