Here’s a great video spoof on David Blaine. It’s the second of two videos that parodies Blaine’s street magic, and it’s titled “David Blaine’s Street Magic Part 2.” This is the first one (on YouTube).
Most Prerolls on YouTube Can Now Be Skipped
ByNalts
In an interesting update on the preroll formats on the world’s largest video site, Gigaom reports that 60% of prerolls are “skippable.” After 5 seconds the viewer can jump past the ad, and advertisers pay nothing. The piece also quoted CEO Larry Page as saying that growth wouldn’t necessarily come at the expense of TV…
YouTube’s Constant Functionality Enhancements

When you’re number one it’s hard to keep innovating. YouTube may have some fundamental business model holes, but I have to give it kudos for constant user-experience improvements. The team quietly roles out new functionality by the week. They’re featuress you didn’t know you wanted, but now you need them. For instance, they now track…

Notice above we have a special tab for the page devoted to the “Tiffany’s Bag of Crap” Contest. I’ve added my entry called “Bike Off Roof.” Maybe I’m too self critical, but I don’t think it’s one of the worst. I may have to try again.

Per this video, I’m preparing for a presentation at the International Society of Humor Studies (yes there’s such a thing). I present on Tuesday (July 5) in Boston at the international meeting. If you’re near Boston University, please enroll and attend! This is a scholarly and professional organization dedicated to the advancement of humor research….
Nalts Does Webby Awards; Chicken Prank
ByNalts
My “Blackberry Crackberry” is an “official honoree” for the 11th annual Webby Awards. There’s not much else to say about this. Just credentializing because I’m hopelessly insecure. Still, I posted today my favorite of my recent videos. It’s called “Chicken Prank.” Here’s the premise. A father forces his son to dress in a chicken suit and…

Am I glad I keep my EpiPen at home!
Maybe I should go find it…….
I wanted to take my camera into the hospital when my girlfriend recently had surgery. I didn’t want to chance them manhandling my camera though. Glad all is well. Cheers.
The trick is the lil’ “Pure Digital Point and Shoot.” They’re subtle and you can hide them in a syrofoam cup.
You’re a little bit crazy. I like that. Great choice of soundtrack; suspenseful, urgent, seismic, heartbeat-like. Perfect.
Kevin, you are one crazy mofo! Your wife is a really good sport.
My wife is always bugging me that she has three kids she has to take care of…me and my two boys. Yours has 5!!!
I agree with MDJ, really good music!
You know what would really be sick, when you do kick the bucket and, of course, you will have figured out a way to film that special moment, to have one of your kids upload it to Revver.
But hopefully that will be after many years of videos of Nalts turning 40, Nalts first 40 year old doctor visit (you know what I’m talking about, I’m dreading it too) , turning 50, Nalts kids graduate from college, 60, Nalts has a grandchild, Nalts turns 70, Nalts has alzheimers watches his own videos and wonders who was the genius who filmed them, Nalts gets cured of alzheimers, Nalts turns 80, videos of Nalts at the Rest Home filming old people falling, Nalts gets all the other Rest Home patients to be in his new film, a remake of Cocoon. Nalts turns 90 and films first holographic video of his birthday, Nalts turns 100, kicks the bucket finally, gets kicked out of Heaven for filming an Angel playing frisbee with his halo.
I’m planning early alzheimers. You’ll know it’s kicked in when you see the same 100 videos being uploaded each morning.
Uh oh. My favorite sister found the video she told me not to post because it would have my future employer consider my insanity a pre-existing condition.
Truly frightening, and gripping. We too are glad yous is aight. It’s like a train wreck you’re thinking “put the f(*&#n camera down dude’ and concentrate on living, but then again you ARE capturing life so intensely (and oddly not so seriously during serious moments). I can’t imagine what would happen if they gave you your own network series. I smell mega-reality hit.
