Bored?

Go look at the most interesting Flickr photos for today. Check back again tomorrow and they'll be completely different but just as mesmerizing. It's like going to a bookstore and browsing through the best picture calendars.

Testing YouTube.com video

Published by Rich Pav under Cool Website, News, Oooh, Look!

YouTube.com allows you to upload and share video clips similar to how Flickr.com lets you share photos. I've been playing with it lately. It downgrades the quality of uploaded videos quite horribly, but for non-technical people on dialup accounts (i.e. parents and grandparents) it's easy to use. The RSS feed isn't iTunes compatible, but that hardly matters to Mom. All the videos I put there will be G-rated.

So yeah, I realize I'm all over the place. Like fungus. That's how we spastic people with short attention spans work.

Headache-inducing meme

For the life of me, I can't do this. I wonder what that means.

iTunes Store Japan Opens

Published by Rich Pav under News

Good Lord, they couldn't have picked an uglier font. Didn't anyone at Apple bother to check what it would look like on a PC before going live? That looks like the font that was used in MS DOS. The characters are so enormous that 90% of the titles are cut off. You have to hover your cusor over every title and wait for the pop-up to appear to read it. The titles of Japanese podcasts look better in the US directory.

Butt-Ugly iTunes Store Japan

And it's #1 fatal flaw? Herro Flom Japan still isn't listed. No wonder this podcasting thing hasn't really taken off yet.

Oh, and 90% of the songs cost 150 yen, the other 10% are 200 yen. That was expected, really. CDs here go for between US $25-30.

A new RSS feed for not-so-great video

Published by Rich Pav under News

For those of you who like the Herro Flom Japan videos to the point where you don't care if they tell a story or not, I've made a new RSS feed called The Herro Flom Japan Video Clip Chumbucket.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/hfj_videochum

Sometimes I put some effort into making a video, but when I get home I look at it and I don't think it's good enough to send out to 400 people, but at the same time it's a shame to just throw it away. From now on, I'll throw those videos into the chumbucket.

I'll try to keep them free of f-bombs because I know they're popular with the kids, but I won't guarantee it. I'll rate them in the description that shows up in iTunes.

What can you expect to see in these videos? Whatever. Just stuff.
