How To Get Famous on YouTube
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed This isn’t a joke. If you’re a geek who can handle yourself well on camera, and you don’t need a ton of hand-holding to get things done quickly, we should definitely talk. I’ve helped boost the standing of a few YouTubers [...]
Who is Soldier Knows Best?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Earlier, I finally had a chance to connect with Mark on FaceTime.

Apple TV Moves to Rental Model, Drops Price to $99
DISCLAIMER: I thought the first Apple TV was relatively useless. Today, Apple announced significant changes to Apple TV at the press event held in San Francisco (which, by the way, was streamed LIVE for the world to watch). The new Apple TV, available by the beginning of October, comes in at 1/4 the size of [...]
Attack of the Unsubscribers at YouTube?
One of my community members happened to mention in my chat room just a little while ago that it seemed odd that we lost over nine thousand subscribers on our YouTube channel within the past hour. I immediately knew something wasn’t right. Yes, I lose subscribers at times. Heck, even after uploading the worst video [...]
YouTube Increases Max Upload Length to 15 Minutes
You have all begged repeatedly, and YouTube is finally listening. The Google-owned website announced today that they are increasing the uploaded length allowed to fifteen minutes for all users. The site has limited non-partner users to videos of ten minutes and under for many years as a way to help combat piracy. Thanks to their [...]

How To Create a Unique Music Video
This official music video for She Runs was taken from Tim Halperin’s latest album Make or Break. It was directed by Jonathan Combs and my friend Joe Childress. Not only is this a cool song, the video for it is seriously unique. It was shot as a “continuous shot” music video. This is a single [...]
You Had Me at Poop
During my talk with small-business owners in Spokane recently, I managed to capture audience attention with the word poop. I told the story of @poopertrooper – no, that isn’t a typo. This is a Seattle small business whose sole purpose in life is to come to your home once a week and clean up the [...]
The Internet is Over
According to an interview pop icon Prince gave to the U.K. tabloid The Daily Mirror, the Internet is “over.” He further claims that the Internet will go the route of MTV: once hip but now a thing to be forgotten. He feels that technology gadgets and gizmos can’t be “good” for us because they fill [...]
Justin Bieber YouTube Videos Hacked
Someone apparently really doesn’t like Justin Bieber. The teen pop sensation had several of his YouTube videos “hacked” yesterday. The perpetrators injected hate speech into the videos as well as information (FALSE!) claiming that Justin had died in a car accident. There were also redirects to external adult sites and other nefarious places. YouTube has [...]
YouTube Login Problems on the iPhone and iPad
For the past week or so, I’ve been having massive issues trying to log in to my YouTube account from the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, or iPad – independent of OS, I believe. This may have something to do with Google’s phasing out classic YouTube accounts in exchange for the same user’s Google ID – [...]
Should We Use YouTube Moderation?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Have you tried YouTube’s Moderation feature yet? If not, why not? If so, will it be worth keeping around for us to use? To me, it seems interesting – but relatively stunted if we can’t get a lion’s share of people [...]
Live Recording Outtakes are the Best
Strange things sometimes happen while I am recording videos. Thankfully, people like Kevin are there to record each one of them. This one has a simple explanation behind it: some idiot troll came into our live chat room with the handle fartfacebuttlick. How was I supposed to resist? Seriously?
