If God had meant people to run around naked, they'd be born that way!

Steven (high school youth minister) published the video from both middle school and high school mission trips. I went to San Antonio with the middle schoolers during spring break.
I’m trying something new! I’m hoping this will put a fire under my Work From Home Friday video productions.
Warning: I’m going into grumpy old man mode!
When I was a kid, I made a few short movies, mostly animated. They were … well, they were terrible. But I made them using an on-the-shoulder VHS camera, a cassette tape recorder for sound, and two VCRs for editing. I used Legos, GI Joe figures, even tooth picks and play dough. It was pains-taking, frustrating, and tedious, but it was all I knew.
If there had been GoPro mini cameras, digital SLRs shooting full HD video, and movie editing software back then, I would have made something EXACTLY like this:
Then again, I do have all this stuff now, and the best I can do is post videos of me griping about jury duty. Man, I’m old.
I have several white board quips in the queue that are silly or odd questions, sort of a mockery of the “get to know you” questions you hear at parties or job interviews. When CGPGrey offered to answer questions from his viewers, I posted several of these off-the-wall queries. This one actually got picked for the video! So obviously, it gets bumped to the front of the queue.
What is your favorite internal organ?
[I apologize in advance if you are forced to watch Liz’s amorous, plush, heart puppet in that insufferable YouTube ad. I can not tell you how much I would like to kill it with fire.]
Huh huh. Huh huh. You said, “dooty.”
Happy New Year! The first WFHF video of 2013 is a look back an our wild whirlwind holiday season of 2012. Be sure to click over to YouTube and leave a comment with your favorite Christmas tradition!
It’s official. I’m famous. I have a video on YouTube* that has, as of this writing, been viewed over 54,000 times. How awesome is that?!
Pretty dang awesome if you ask me.
* Okay, okay. So technically speaking, it’s not exactly, totally my video, per se. But I am a primary member of the cast**. So that should count, right?
** Yes, I know that there are only three people in the whole video, but I’m one of those three, so that makes me a co-star at least***.
*** Well, who cares if I’m only in 4 seconds of a 12 minute video? I’ve still be seen over 54,000 times and you haven’t, so… Nyaa nyaa nyaa!
Seriously, for those who don’t know (which, in my reader base would be “most”), Rhett and Link are pioneers of video blogging who have multiple YouTube channels, some with over a million subscribers. When they started their latest venture, a daily video blog called “Good Mythical Morning,” they asked for subscribers to send in video introductions. I did, and last Friday, my intro made the show. It’s kind of a big deal. But only kind of.
I’ve always loved the Super Bowl. After our 2009 Super Bowl party (which inaugurated our media room and drew 45 guests… eek!) we have toned down the celebration a bit. This year will include just a few close friends. (Sorry chi’ren.)
I also love great, creative commercials. The Super Bowl has been the… well Super Bowl for commercials for decades now. In years past, I have blogged about my favorite TV spots from the big game (here and here). But, at least to my feeble old-man memory, this is the first year that such a large crop of Super Bowl commercials have been leaked before the big game. Frankly, I’m concerned that, like a bad movie preview, I’ll know all the jokes before I see them and that would just be awful!
I’ve already seen 2012 Super Bowl ads from Honda, Toyota, Audi, Doritos, and Volkswagen (and Volkswagen) commercials all on YouTube. There are even YouTube channels (yes, plural) dedicated to leaked 2012 ads. Really?!
What do you think? Have Super Bowl commercials jumped the shark? Will leaked ads ruin the game day experience? Is anyone still reading this post (if so, give me a *wink*)? The comments are open.
I get a lot of spam. I mean a lot! But it’s not so bad because I know how to handle it. My personal advice for anyone who connects to the interwebs ever is to create a spam email account. I use HotMail. HotMail has a feature that sends all emails to a junk folder unless I know and have allowed the sender. Then, whenever a website (even a website I trust) asks for my email address, I use darkmanwork@hotmail.com. See?! I’m so confident that I’ll put my email address right here in the blog post!! Because I know if a spammer gets hold of it, they can do me no harm. Their scams and junk mail will end up harmlessly sitting in my junk folder. Because I do, on rare occasion get valid emails to that address, every couple of days, I scan through the junk folder. Some phishing emails I report to the owners of the site being phished (like when a get a fake email from PayPal or eBay). But most of it just gets deleted.
I get a lot of these Nigerian style scams. I scan through a few of them to chuckle at the grammar. But this one was so bad, it was too good to just toss in the trash. I present “Urgent!”
There are times when you wish you could recapture the innocence of youth. Remember how simple life was before 9/11? Remember how awesome the Matrix was before the sequels came out? Remember when girls had cooties and the only thing you wanted to do was make them cry? (Ok, me neither. But still…)
I think this YouTube clip can remind us all of that moment when life stopped being simple.
