Unrelated Videos: Why YouTube VEVO Channels Deliberately Flunk Marketing 101

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

If you listen to music on YouTube, no doubt you’ve heard of the “VEVO” channels used by the major record labels. However, if you listen to non-dance, non-soft-rock, or older music, you probably wonder why VEVO channels’ “Related Videos” are anything but related. You may put on some Alice in Chains or Nirvana, but be [...]

All it takes

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Sometimes all it takes is one or two sentences of something to make me feel miserable for days and nights afterward. And that is what happened last night which continues through this evening, and hopefully will end soon. At least there is light in the evening. Otherwise I’d probably be totally destroyed. And adding to [...]

It’s been a while!

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012

It’s been a long time. Happy to log into the blog again! It’s been so long I feel kinda like deja vu. Two reasons: I set up Windows 7 Ultimate, and have been involved in the Ron Paul campaign. I’m glad he not only won the popular vote in the Virgin Islands, but yesterday Ron [...]

Dammit this cold just will not go away!

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

It’s terrible! (Everything else is gone, but my nose just won’t stop running.) Bought a bunch of DVDs and a book earlier today. The old that I know and love, and the new that I do not know. “Old Papers” (based on a true story) There’s some paper back there. Hidden in the old desk, [...]

Glad To Know

That things are still good between us.

So you would expect…

Monday, April 9th, 2012

Sick. I have a cold (or something like it) and am very tired. I’m on call tomorrow, and have to be up early, despite the chaos which happened last night, which you were unable to handle in this state, being excessively rude, making rash decisions about people and reversing them less than five minutes later. [...]

Generation (Oba)Mao

Saturday, April 7th, 2012

Communist leader Mao Tse-tung was known for his repeated attempts to change all aspects of China into his school of Communism. This included the abolition of their gods, religions, and philosophers and forcing people into work on collective farms. Anyone who got in his way were sent to re-education camps or killed. Something very similar [...]

The radio station is broadcasting strange packets…

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

Looping the same few seconds over and over, with repeated buffering notices in between. 23 people are supposedly listening, but it’s totally screwed up. No other Shoutcast radio station, including those of the same bandwidth, is giving me probs. It’s a real shame, haven’t listened to that station (KQLZ Pirate Radio) in a long time. [...]

Reluctant…

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

…to sleep, as I need to call someone early tomorrow morning and just don’t want to sleep. I’m sure I will, and hopefully soon. But I’ve been up at night a lot lately (and not sleeping well in general) and I’ve gotten used to it. It’s gotta be the weather. Nice beautiful warm weather for [...]

the illusion returns…

Sunday, April 1st, 2012

I was almost there. Really. I was very close. The dissatisfaction was nonexistent – and reality, even less. After hours of refusing, I was slowly forced to accept that this disproven fantasy of hope no longer existed. I couldn’t pretend anymore – despite the self-induced illusion of past feelings of hope, I had to accept [...]
