I work in internet advertising. Yes, I get paid to watch YouTube, go on Facebook, LinkedIn and Google all day long. A tough life, but someone has to live it!
Anyway, I came across this amazing video the other day, espoused by many as the pinnacle of video advertising (oh, and it may not be fir for watching at work or at home);
What do you think? Did it make you thirsty?

The Harlem Shake
So whats all the fuss about? Quite simply, The Harlem Shake viral videos.
Easy to do, easier to share and be seen.
Step 1: Dance a little in front of a camera to the music of "Harlem Shake", in helmet or mask whilst others around you carry on their normal day.
Step 2: At 15 seconds - everyone starts dancing to the music.
The total clip should take 30 seconds.
Simple? Lets see a few different takes on the idea;
A great example. If you have 250+ friends around - go at it!
Peanuts and Friends
At the Office
In the Street
On the Climbing Wall
In Times Square
And of course, in the Aquarium

I Nearly Crashed My Car. 3 times.
It was simple really, I'd been listening to the Popstuff podcast which always brings a broad grin to my face. The girls on the podcast are sassy, fun and in all honesty, enchanting. So when they suggested listening to another podcast I decided to give it a try.
The podcast they referred to sounded harmless enough, 'My brother, my brother and I'. An 'advicecast' whatever that may be. Probably 3 siblings talking about something or other with the bigger ones bullying the youngest one into joining, and no doubt, they'd be making him spill all of his embarrassing life stories.
Worth a listen at least?
So I did. And thats when I nearly crashed the car.
3 times.
In a period of twenty minutes.
Go and listen to the latest podcast here or just click on the thingybob below:
Sweet, sweet listening indeed.

My Brother, My Brother and Me is an advicecast for the modern era featuring three real-life brothers: Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy. For roughly five-sixths of an hour each week, with new episodes dropping every Monday, the brothers McElroy will answer any query sent our way, each fielding questions falling into our respective areas of expertise. We operate like a streamlined, advice-generating machine. It’s both terrifying and humbling to behold.

Evolution Or Just Smart?
Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Its a 'hot potato discussion' in some countries, on the school syllabus in others and dismissed out of hand in even more.

Green Heron (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
So explain this:
Give a bird some bread and he'll eat for a day, teach a bird to fish and he'll end up on YouTube.
This Green Heron shows some real learning behavior. It actually lures fish with bread. The method works. The most interesting part for me is, it seems to be hungry but does not eat the bread, unlike the surrounding Ibises do.

Perturbed by Coca Cola Advertising
The first thing I noticed about this video was that Coca Cola weren't calling it an 'advert' or a 'social media' whatever, but were calling it a video. Interesting change of approach.
And then i saw the video and felt surprisingly emotional about it:
Which I guess is today's version of the classic Coca Cola videos, just without the 'buy a coke now' music playing in the background.
Which in turn is not that far off this 2010 advert, which must have cost a pretty penny!
I'm perturbed.

I found me a new hero!
I've been a Formula 1 racing fan for many years now, going back to my childhood in the 80's.
Fast women and loose cars; its what I do.
Anyway, I've been living in a country that doesn't have an F1 presence, for the last 15 years and even though I'm originally a Brit, none of the UK based drivers really excite me.
And then I found him when our eyes met over a YouTube video.
A driver who is hungry for a win, has proven himself in the past, is willing to push the boundaries slightly, and best of all, works for a British F1 team.
Lady and gentlemen, I present to you - Vitaly Petrov. My new Formula 1 driver.
And why the hero part in the blog title? Because as well as having to deal with the British media on a daily basis, garner sponsorship for himself and, it appears, fight for his drive every season, he still has to drive exceptionally fast around a track with other, like-minded nutters.
We haven't had a death in Formula 1 since Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton de Silva Senna in 1994, but five drivers have died while driving a Formula One car at the NĂĽrburgring; only the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has had more casualties!
Sadly Dan Wheldon died in October in Las vegas whilst racing in IndyCar, so these guys are not just fancy hair and interesting accents. This is serious stuff.
So, well done Vitaly - and good luck!

All 2011 Films in Under 8 Minutes
This video finally answers the question: What would the entire year in film look like as one massive, epic trailer? Mashup artist “hatinhand” stitched together pretty much every major film released in 2011 into this epic video, “The 2011 Portfolio” which is as much a retrospective as it is a glimpse into how similar films have become.
On a personal level it made me sit up and notice what I've been missing by just watching the 'regular' TV shows.
Methinks it might be time to spice up my life a bit with a few films to watch with Her Indoors.

Johnny Cash - We'll Meet Again
Without doubt Mr. Johnny Cash was one of his generation's greatest country singers. Classics such as Fulsom Prison Blues, Ring of Fire and Walk The Line as well as A Boy Named Sue - make us all tap our feet.
Johnny Cash (Image via RottenTomatoes.com)
His video (below) of Hurt, has over 35 million hits on YouTube. Astonishing!
And when you realise that his career took off with 'Ring of Fire' back in the old days of black and white TV!
I was listening to Mr J Cash on Grooveshark at work and after 2 hours of music I knew, I heard words that I recognised, but not in the way Johnny was singing them.
The original that I recognised -
And Mr Cash's version;
Which do you prefer?

Queen Google
Blogger has a new interface so for now they're safe. I'm not quite up to moving to Wordpress yet. But the second they muck it up - I'll be soooo gone!
And for your delight and delectation today? Google. Yes Mr. Google and his elves have created quite the splendiferous logo for today's celebrity birthday - Mr. Queen (not Steve Mc - Freddie Mercury).
Which, when clicked, gives the most amazing song and cartoon dance routine I've seen for a while - here;

Allan McNish
In my last, earth shattering, blog post 'Twitter, iPhones and Fast Cars' which caused furor in the world of... well, nowhere really.
Anyway...
I have always been a fan of motor-sport so it was interesting for me to see this week that 'Le Mans 24 hour' was trending on Google, Twitter and YouTube.
YouTube? Here's why:
At the time of writing, this clip had over 2,400,000 views. Nice.
And the funky thing for me? I've been in touch with Allan McNish in the past, discussing Formula 1 stuff on Twitter.
Weird to see someone you 'know' going through such a crash.

How Would You Say 'I Do?'
It all began with a tweet. It was an innocent little tweet
So I clicked on the link and found this:
Which I thought was AWESOME!!
So I went onto the good ship Google and looked for a few more interesting proposals. You know, there aren't that many intimate, subtle proposals on film, here are a few outlandish, public and I'm guessing, somewhat scary, proposals.

Angry Birds & Pomplamoose
As I mentioned on this very blog back in November 2009, in the brief yet interesting post Put your ears back and listen I like cover bands and I especially like Pomplamoose.
I also like me a little bit of Angry Birds on my iPhone.
Image via CrunchBaseIts all harmless murder of innocent pigs with a catapult and a variety of birds as ammunition.
Yeah. That didn't come out as well as I'd hoped.
Anyway, Pomplamoose are a great cover duo, so good in fact that I have included a variety of their offerings below.
Enjoy!

Sell-out or buy-in?
A friend of mine on Facebook (oh yeah Princess L., I'm talking about you) mentioned the marvelous OKGO and their videos.
Admittedly. she is a bit behind as I have mentioned them a few times in my blog: like here and here and more...
But it got me thinking and so I went over to the OKGO YouTube site and looked at their latest video. And I was disappointed, I think....
You see, their latest video is fun, and colorful and interesting but was sponsored by Land Rover. Now I get that they make music because they love it and that they need to eat and pay the rent but really? Get sponsored to make the video? I think that's a bit much.
So what do you think? How does the latest video compare with their previous vids?
Heck, a video with musicians in ghillie suits? Respect!!

Going All Serious
Don't worry, I'm only getting all serious for this one post.
I just get so upset by what is happening in Israel that I want to post a couple of these YouTube videos and get your reactions.
And it says a lot when a normal teenager decides to post a literate, concise plea for help from the world:
And a nice prize is on offer for anyone who can answer all of Dry Bones' questions below:
