YouTube

YouTube is starting to grow on me now. Sure it's been a cool place for funny videos and for people to fool around on leaving seconds long videos about nothing or videos that you would swear a epileptic wombat shot with a camera from the 1930's. There was just something about it that always seemed to me to be an underachievement for the site. I always thought they could do so much more. And now they are starting to.

Sure you can still find pirated episodes of shows you really like, but YouTube just got into full length sponsored episodes. I've been watching some of the initial Star Trek TOS eps, and the quality is pretty good. I especially like the turn lights down and theater view.

YouTube allows you to become a cewebrity if you want, or to just pass on that funny video that used to have to be copied PC to PC. I remember one of those that took 4 floppy disks just to copy back in the day, and you actually had to join the file later, and it was only 25 seconds long. Go fig.

On a totally off topic note, I'm on the road today, on a vacation. More updates of where I am am later.
