I think I like many of renetto’s suggestions. I hope YouTube listens particularly to ways to manage commenters. His video is 10 minutes but you can put it in the background and listen while doing other things and still get his message.

So, would the shop at home guy be fun with Rorschach tests or what?

Dreamers that dream, dreamers that do – Move over Stephen R Covey! July 31, 2006 10:12 am

Move over Stephen R Covey and David Allen! Ze Frank sums it up for us in his show on Brain Crack. After watching this show, my introduction to Ze Frank, I became very aware that I am addicted to Brain Crack.

Standard Ze Frank warning! Ze Frank borrows dialog from George Carlin‘s dictionary. The beginning of this movie is fairly safe but ends in a song staring words that begin in the letter F with a guest appearance by a word beginning with the letter A.

I was warned…Ze Frank is coming! July 28, 2006 5:58 pm

First there was Amanda Congdon at Rocketboom. When she parted company with RB, I pondered, "could a guy pull off what a female host can?" Several weeks ago an online friend gave me an electronic nudge and said, "Yes!" Ze Frank is undeniably the next video blogging hit. Of course, there still is Ask a Ninja but he’s…uh..you know…a cubby ninja. Be warned Ze Frank uses language that many of us pretend we don’t hear daily.

Oh.. How did we ever get entertained before the Internet? Why does our government want to screwup such good stuff?

Yes. Video blogging (Ze Frank uses adult language) is in Reality Me’s future.

Can a ripoff machine teach the children? July 28, 2006 1:18 pm

Every time we see one of those claw games the children jump and down begging to play. I disappoint them explaining that they can’t win. Maybe I am wrong. And maybe they can win in multiple ways. Apparently, they can learn patience, and some science skills as well as a prize.

The Fish Bowls Are Up July 28, 2006 12:09 pm

The cages have been unveiled at our zoo. See Cathy (and others) on Cam at her blog. This morning before she realized it was up the video may have been, er, revealing. I’ve added a stream here. You can now see frames from the last 10 minutes and if Cathy’s software supports it we will put up her last 10 minutes also. My camera is doubling as a cat cam. Enjoy!

Quiting computers; juggling fulltime. July 18, 2006 1:15 pm

Before anyone asks, "Doug, why don’t you juggle this well?" I’ll explain that these jugglers are using mirrors, video edits, and wires to pull off such elegance. Of course, I’d be lying.

For a long time, Tommy has expressed interest in having a snake.

I don’t think so

No more Amanda!

I guess $85,000 per week makes partnership relations difficult.

Electro-graf from Graffiti Research Lab July 3, 2006 10:53 am

This video is fascinating on many different levels. I am in wonder at the ingenuity of the circuitry. I’m impressed at the skill of the artist and the time put into his work. The video editing with the side notes and smaller video is well done. I caught myself rewatching parts just to consume all the juicy information such as the links to more information like http://stencilrevolution.com/.

Warning! The audio portion of this video contains adult language used by the US president, GW Bush, and may be offensive to some. The video itself contains nothing inappropriate and can be enjoyed by those with sensitive ears and virgin minds by simply turning down your speakers.
