Larry Lessig in slightly over 12 minutes compares Pailn against every Vice-President in U.S. history and still has time to ponder the chances that she could become President Palin.
Palin pales dreadfully in the comparison: She is the second least experienced VP candidate in history. What's more the historical odds are 1 in 5 that she would have to assume the Presidency. However, given that John McCain is the oldest Presidential candidate in history and has a history of cancer, the chances are even higher.
While video has already hit the big time with YouTube, Vimeo, Revver and countless others, no release has gotten me excited about actually creating videos than Flickr's new video feature. I actually said to Jen with real feeling behind it that I wanted to buy a video camera. I've never wanted to hassle of tapes or the endless rising tide of hard disk space necessary to deal with video, not to mention the editing/rendering time.
I suppose the reason is that it's a site I love and already use and more importantly all of my friends already use it. It's comfortable. It's familiar. It's simple and beautiful. Not to mention that The Flip makes it look pretty damn easy for a very nice price.
And now all of my friends are MOVING like wizard pictures in Harry Potter!
I mean, how can you NOT love this?! (*Ahem* Vox we need embed support! :-) You can go check out a whole bunch of other "editor's picks" from this group.
Of course, like anything on or off of the web it has its detractors... Of course, if God came down from heaven and created ponies for every human being, there would still be people bitching saying "Ponies are smelly and too expensive to keep" or "Oh great, who's going to clean up all the horseshit?!" or "Horses make it dangerous for walkers!" or "You've been gone 2000 years and THIS is all you brought us!?" or "Hey, YOU'RE not supposed to be a black woman!?"
Like unemployment, there is always a baseline of assholes because some segment of the entire population at any one time is in a sufficiently shitty mood to want to ruin it for the rest.
But me? I am a big fan. Thank you, Flickr for proving once again (and time after time) that you guys are awesome.
I was very excited to find out that one of my favorite Hungarian bands has some videos and live show clips on You Tube. They are so good live.
I'm sitting here at South-by-Southwest in the The Real Story Behind Snakes on a Plane panel where they showed a whole bunch of examples of "user-generated content" related to the movie. Here are a bunch of videos that, except for one, I hadn't seen before. Hi-lar-ious...
Oh, he's definitely fired...
Just shown on 30 Rock. Reminded me that it needs to be here on Vox.
