I have finally decided on a project for youtube! I had a realization the other night as I drunkenly attempted sleep: I HAVE BECOME A PRODUCT OF THE INTERNET.
You see, I make music. And I record it using a digital music recorder which allows me to put my recorded music on to my computer. Additionally, applications are now available to make such music public via my facebook profile, therefore skyrocketing my ability to share my music with friends, family, or those to whom I am not even acquainted.
FURTHERMORE! I can check the statistics of my play count, how many downloads have been made and on what songs. This way, I know which songs people are enjoying without them even having to tell me!
BUT THERE IS A DARK SIDE.
One more reason to tirelessly check the status of my facebook life every five minutes.
MY REVOLUTION IS COMPLETE.

Sick animation.
www.sickanimation.com
These very, very funny cartoons are quickly spreading through the internet popularity polls. Already, the creator of these simple cartoons has got a pilot going for comedy central. This is something I keep seeing more and more of - shows starting on the internet and then making their way to television. Stella comedy tour, Flight of the Concords, Don Herzfeld.
In a way, this is improving standards of television. Although right now the process can be limited to comedy niches and shorts that only last a few minutes, the internet has become the new proving ground for many tv shows. Concepts that have already gained popularity on the internet get turned into real shows, already loaded with the fact that it is popular. It is the new darwinism of television. Instead of a group of corporate executives determining which shows are worthy of being on their networks, the public decides by popular vote. It really is a revolutionary idea, and it's beneficial for both the tv companies and for the viewers. The Networks get to pick up shows that are already popular, guarenteeing to a certain extent their success, and the puplic gets an official, half-hour version of a show they already enjoy. Let the public decide!
By the way, that website IS pretty sick... in a... weird way. Enter at your own risk.
Byeeeee
