The 2018 Plans Of Prince Watercress
Time for something completely different in my “what’s to come” kinds of entries. Instead of talking about my plans, I’m instead going to, by request, discuss what my friend Prince Watercress has planned for 2018. Yes, he actually requested that I write this article to help promote what he does. People who follow what I …

Vidme Is Dead
December 14th and 15th seemed to be just full of internet deaths. If AIM was your friendly grandmother, who was always there for you but you saw less and less in the latter years, Vidme was the baby among the group, born weak with a health issue that you knew might take it away from …

AIM Is Dead
Today, December 15th, 2017, marks a pretty dark day for the internet – no, we aren’t talking about Net Neutrality here (although I’m about to get into that, check ahead a few articles,) I’m talking about the death Aol Instant Messenger, or AIM, which had its servers shut down today. I had covered this when …

Cube – A YouTube Relic
In the interest of putting something out today (I’ve been a little under the weather the past few days), I’ve decided to break out this relic from YouTube circa 2006 – a video for a fictional game called CUBE! It’s actually a rather nice animation for what it tries to parody; late 80’s / early …

The Computer Chronicles – Mainframes to Minis to Micros (1983)
Let’s take a trip back. All the way back, in this case, to the original episode of “The Computer Chronicles” back in 1983. The idea behind the computer chronicles was to cover the then-new field of personal computers. Just what could you do with these little machines, and what was their future? These machines, some …

Vine To Make A Return? Dear God, No!
My buddy Prince Watercress linked me to an engadget article yesterday discussing how Vine founder Dom Hofmann seems to have teased a “Vine 2.0” if you will – he tweeted just an image in the classic Vine colors that showed “V2.” and.. that’s it. https://twitter.com/dhof/status/938469576052011008 This comes, of course, following him talking some about bring a …

When Something Is Called “The Future,” It Never Really Is…
Following behind my previous article about hype culture, I wanted to discuss another trend in how upcoming things are discussed. This is something that goes in well with hype culture but deserves its own little bit of discussion: that is, when someone says something is “the future.” You will hear this one all the time …

I Can’t Stand Hype Culture
Something that I’ve been wanting to discuss for quite some time is the phenomena of hype being built up around seemingly anything and everything new. Whenever you have something new coming up, you hear about it nonstop, and often times, in retrospect, you have to ask: why did anyone care in the first place? It …

Looks Like It’s Over For Vidme
With YouTube being in the state it is currently (something I’m long overdue for addressing) many video creators online have been looking for an alternative, and for the past few months it looked like a certain little website known as Vidme would be a good alternative – it looked to work about as well as …

Oddity Archive Covers The Max Headroom Incident
One of the many more unique YouTube channels I follow is Oddity Archive – a channel devoted heavily to the more eccentric side of television, film, and home media of all types. Incidencally, the channels first subject was, of all things, the Max Headroom Incident. Now, Ben, the man behind Oddity Archive, kind of hates …
