InterTubes

Two tips for effective work avoidance (that are not YouTube):

1. SuperDeluxe.com - It's a comedy-based video site that seems to be anchored by Bob Odenkirk and Maria Bamford. If you liked the Comedians of Comedy, check it out.

2. VBS.tv - This is more like a hipster PBS. Lots of excellent informational videos. Be careful, there's a naked model on the main page at the moment. Beyond that - be prepared to get roped in.

This is the new face of television. YouTube put short, low-quality video in front of EVERYONE. There have been other "boutique" content providers in the past, but this is a hybrid of both with some remnants of the old way - like advertising on every page. Like every other rebirth of a medium, they're putting out good content for free, so enjoy it while it lasts (without a monthly charge.)

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
