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.

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

U.S. Politics for Foreigners - Part One: Experience
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.

No Direction
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?

Bill Clinton compares Hillary to Michael Dukakis? (political vlog)
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?

A Vlogging Pimp Like Me
An original rap song about my life...
* PARODY * PARODY * PARODY *
i ain't half as nice
as my videos seem
this wholesome image
is just part of my scheme
to get to the top
of the vlogging game
make a million dollars
and bask in my fame
don't you want to be a vlogging pimp like me?
all the chicks dig me
cause I'm mellow and easy
livingpassion, thefamousstacie
and speedyconkiwi
i'm a vlogging stud
in a land of neuters
center frame coming up
take a look at these hooters
forget about the old guys
'cause their days are over
i'll be running them down
in my big land rover
i got lots of funky sites
to give my videos a spin
now i'm a YouTube partner
watch the money rolling in
don't you want to be a vlogging pimp like me?
now i've told you all my story
and i did it as a rap
rate it five stars
'cause it's time to take my nap
click on 'subscribe'
leave a comment and then
i'll catch my breath
and never rap again
don't you want to be a vlogging pimp like me?

The Story of St. Monty's Day (re: holiday tag)
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!

Kenrg in CinemaScope
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?

The World Famous Mystery Spot of Santa Cruz, California
A visit to the Mystery Spot, where gravity is on vacation, with Ira (citizenstand). It's more impressive in person than on camera. Really.

The Art of Standing with CitizenStand
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.

An opening for an intro
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!

One Sunday Afternoon in Palo Alto with MixedPixel
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.

Like Lincoln
By Reid Baer
My own warring states
are so loosely stitched
with a bit of flimsy white thread
Don't know just how long
this union will hold
or when I'll be shot in the head
