Why my new career is cool.

My very first liner note credit. Mang! :)

Hopefully the firstof many as my business is growing quicker than I could’ve anticipated…

YouTube Anonymous

I am officially addicted to YouTube. It seems to be the next big thing, after Google and Blogger, and, with Flash video making life easier for everyone these days, and most people having broadband, YouTube is, well, already huge and WILL get bigger. I just love being able to search for just about anything and find some video on it. Not to mention the number of people sad enough to mime to Lisa Loeb’s Stay and upload it to the intermanet…

We have wanted to do our own inane little reality show for the web for some time now, and YouTube should take a lot of the labour and bandwidth problems out of the equation. Yes, its an exercise in pure narcissism and self indulgence, but I think our lives are kinda funny. So, with any luck my next couple of web projects will allow us to splurge on a proper digital video camera. Besides, getting a life is such a depressing alternative and its no fun not being cutting edge. The first rule of technology being “it doesn’t matter if I need it, I WANT it”.

Anyway, should be fun to jump into the world of internet TV. in the meantime, check out youtube. Its great.

A whole new meaning to the phrase "Big Daddy".

Last night we were subjected to this weird swarm of flying termites that pummeled our house. They flew through the bathroom window, and, in the space of about 3 minutes, they had all shed their wings and god knows where they went. Anyway.

The bathroom was suddenly filled with thousands of wings, which we had to sweep up. Apparently its a common thing. Jason swept them up and we moved on.

Fast forward to about 1am. We went bed and, thinking the kids were asleep, well, got some action.

Afterwards, I walked out to the bathroom to – um – clean up – and I hear this little voice.

“Dad did REALLY well didn’t he Mum?”

What the fuck?

“Why, Mina?”

“He cleaned up the moths from the bathroom”.

“Uhh, yes. Go back to sleep.”

Don't Get Mad, Make Kickarse Music!
