The traditional "Happy Birthday" song is actually copyrighted, owned by Time-Warner, and they consider singing it on this site to be a "public performance" that requires paying a royalty. And so, I offer my all-new copyright-free Happy Birthday song. Have fun with it; it's my gift to the world. More info and resources...

Is there a place for poetry and the arts on sites like YouTube or LiveVideo (etc.)? See JackDanyells' TubeArts challenge here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb0-wV9dPks and find out how more...you can enter here: http://www.carmun.com/tubearts ----- I saw the best minds of the vloggerhood destroyed by commercialization, the DMCA, and flame wars squeezed into narrow categories made to compete for top honors against networks content and still failing to connect Would the beats have thrived here? What categories would they choose? Would Ginsberg have been a guru while Ferlinghetti stared at the city lights with Kerouac behind the wheel and just let anonymous sock puppets multiply? There is a road, no info super highway that leads to true community and real connections to a place where we decide what matters and roller skating dogs are but a dream I aim to be on that road with Neil, and Jack, and Caroline bundled in the back of my Studebaker coupe as we head out for the coast ----- Thanks to NorCalCorsello for helping with the camera!

The presidential primaries can be confusing and painful enough for we Americans; this video is to help de-mystify the process for our friends overseas. This episode looks at the importance of experience, and the lack of it. Opening by Neotrific: http://www.youtube.com/Neotrific

30andout asks if he should try to concentrate on one type of video, or continue to be "scattered." Since when is scattered such a bad thing?

By comparing Barack Obama's South Carolina win to Jesse Jackson (1984 & 1988), was Bill Clinton also then comparing Hillary Clinton to Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis? Or was he just being a jerk?

In response to Mudhooks' holiday tag, the story of how my friends and I created the holiday of St. Monty's Day. Yes, we were very bored while in High School. Happy St. Monty's Day, one and all, and may none of your gifts be zonks! And now I pass the tag on to... 30andout. Tag, you're it!

I generally shoot my videos in the standard aspect ratio, but I notice a lot of people making online videos in widescreen format. Do you have a preference for shooting or watching video? If you do strongly prefer one or the other, why?

A visit to the Mystery Spot, where gravity is on vacation, with Ira (citizenstand). It's more impressive in person than on camera. Really. Ira: http://www.youtube.com/citizenstand Mystery Spot: http://mysteryspot.com/ Music by Kevin Macleod: http://incompetech.com/

I visited with CitizenStand (Ira) in Santa Cruz and asked him about his videos. He does one stand video each day (he's up to about 250) in which he simply stands in front of, or in the midst of, some event, location, or other interesting happening. Visit Ira at: http://www.youtube.com/citizenstand

I'm getting tired of the lighthouse opening that I usually use for my videos, and am asking your assistance in coming up with a new intro. Be as creative as you like and send the video or audio files to: stupidcontest@gmail.com Of course, if I use the intro or theme music you create I will give you full credit. Or, if you think I should just stick with the lighthouse, put that in the comments section below. Thanks!

MixedPixel (Regina) was visiting from Germany and we spent the afternoon walking around Palo Alto trying to come up with an idea for a video. Along the way we ran into a group of young troublemakers who are also 'Tubers (tariqu2004, music175, and friends) and some interesting public art. We never did decide what video to make.
