Happy New Year

Looking back at YouTube over 2007....

Yahoo posted on their front page that "You may be the last person online who hasn't seen this prairie dog's acting skills." I may not be the last, but I hadn't seen the clips yet. About every copy of the clip has had millions of hits, and many of goofy copies have had hundreds of thousands. (The video is 5 seconds long.)



I am amused at the popularity of videos like that because I keep hearing about how wonderful the YouTube community is for promoting intelligent discussion among young people.



And speaking of intelligent discussion among the youth on the Internet ... if the response videos to Miss South Carolina 2007's public-speaker-nightmare-come-true goof showcase some of the best and the brightest young people in America, I'm moving to Argentina when I retire.

My Favorite Things

Thirteen of My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens.... I love watching and singing along to a great musical. When I was a kid I used to run about singing like life was a musical. People would ask me what I was singing, but I was just making it up as I went. And I love dancing. I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing. I love creating stories and characters. Apparently e
