Kids in the Hall and YouTube seem made for each other. Of course, you don’t need to wait until Friday night to watch them. With YouTube you can watch as many episodes as you want, but be careful if you watch too much your head might explode or the very least you’ll knock yourself silly laughing so hard. The Kids will be back on TV for murder mystery in “Death comes to Town” this January 2010.
I’m a big BBQ fan – but NOT propane ones… Thankfully GrillPro manufactures huge charcoal BBQs with some of the features of gas ones. My parents were cleaning out their sheds this weekend and they found an old Esso (Exxon) metal can of BBQ starter fluid.
Cool. Does BBQ starter tatse better in an old-fashioned can or a plastic bottle?? Sometimes the future is not pretty! 
The test is coming!
What’s your BBQ experience?
Back in 1950 Ray Bradbury wrote a short story originally titled “The World the Children Made”. I can remember reading that short story and feeling the heat and stench of the virtual world the children lived in. Somehow the words morphed into imagined yet a very real experience to me. I now wonder if when emerged in our YouTube wonderlands we sometimes feel a tad lost in the veldtland wondering what it is that YouTube is pluging into us.
Despite the fact that I sometimes find myself watching the same Fatboy Slim videos over and over again, I think my YouTube Veldt won’t eat my parents. It’s a perfect day for Bananafish, but as I sit on my porch watching YouTube I wonder what other wonders I’m missing. Luckily, TV can still distract me from such thoughts.
Ok, there are caveats to this. You must not be advertising yourself or your products or services. Preferably the question is related to something I’ve written about such as heat-pumps, artificial stomachs, spacecraft, zombies, you know, have a look at my posts.
Second, it could be that I simply won’t know the answer. In which case, I’ll flat out admit it. However, I will give a good Google search to find the answer for you. When I say that, I mean that I won’t just rely on Google, but whatever resources I find on the web to give you an answer to your question.
B.T.W. you can post a question in any of our posts and we read them within the next day or two and usually respond if we have an answer. You’re more than welcome to participate on any subject. Thanks for reading.
If you’re amoung the lucky few to have seen a UFO, chances are you’ll soon enough be in good company. Light weight laser propelled spacecraft named ‘lightcraft’ could light our skies in the near future. Check out the current prototype.
You can now go to a web site that will let you browse through heaps of meaningful information and the wonderful part is that you can browse through the information not search for it. Part encyclopedia, part trivia pursuit, well organized, and the noise is filtered out.
No doubt by the time you’ve read this post Juggle.com will be yet another Google service [I hope not]. Within three clicks I was completely blown away and hooked into exploring this site. Let me tell you, that happens rarely. I’d compare the eXperience to the first time I discovered Wikipedia or Flickr.
Juggle.com is uber cool, even though its current beta is rather USA centric. Check it out for yourself.
One thing you can’t find on Juggle is SensoryMetrics. 
This post is seeking answers from our readers as to when digital sharing becomes copyright infringement. For the most part, I know the answer to this question, and understand fair use, but lately with so many ways to easily capture something and share it with others, I’ve been wondering whether this digital sharing sometimes slips into piracy without realizing it.
For instance, let’s say I take a picture of a newspaper article from the Globe and Mail with my iPhone. Then I paste it into an email and send it off to my aunt who lives in Australia. What if she then forwards that email to God knows who, and this unknown individual then shares it with everyone on the planet? At what point did the creator lose control over the copy? Should people digitally sharing keep their cameras out of the papers and out of the magazines that they read or is this just an eco-friendly re-use of newspaper that will be tossed in the recycling?
Please share with us your thoughts by commenting directly; bonus points to the person who can name the artist in this photograph in the paper of which I took a picture and modified with Photoshop to look, well.. modified. 
In a case of mistaken texting, TOFU lovers across America are being denied these vanity license plates But PETA – the purveyors of all things furless are proposing this Virginia license plate alternative.
Meanwhile… i’m still waiting for my MadCow plate!
