If you look back over the site for the past month or so, you will notice that at the very tail end of December, things just stopped. Completely. I made a few posts stating pretty clearly what I was feeling at the time, and still am honestly, but what I didn’t go into was detail …

I Used To Love SpaceX… And Then Things Changed. (Part 2)
Click here for Part 1. On September 27th, 2016, SpaceX uploaded a video showing what their upcoming super-heavy launch vehicle plans were – the Interplanetary Transport System. This massive booster was going to launch a Mars bound vehicle into Earth orbit. The actual Mars bound ship would insert itself into orbit, with the ITS booster …

About Net Neutrality…
So, as we expected, on December 14th the FCC voted 3 to 2 to repeal regulations put on internet service providers back in 2015 which, in very simple terms, would require internet service providers to treat all data as equal – that is, forbid them from providing preferential treatment to the data of one service …

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 …

RIP Angry Grandpa
I was rather shocked to read today about the death of a well known, and clearly well loved YouTube celebrity, Charles Green, better known as Angry Grandpa. This one kind of hit me hard – I followed the show passively, but had been aware of it and the family, for quite a while, checking out …

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 …

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 …

Tying Up Loose Ends – An Update
I’ve mentioned before on how I have quite a few article sets that I have yet to finish. I’ve been known to come back to articles at random times, in some cases months between entries. As it stands now, though, I’m thinking I should try before the year is out to get the remainder of …

A Good Example Of People Missing The Point Entirely
In my previous article, where I discussed how a YouTuber got a play button award with a racist phrase written on it, the subject of the video the content creator had made, and thus the subject of my article itself, was the fact of how and why he could get the item with the inscription …

YouTube Automation, Chinese Factories, And A Racist Play Button
Talk about something coming out of nowhere, today I present you with a little insight into just how completely screwed up YouTube is. However, as with many things, we’re going about this in a somewhat roundabout way. You know those play button awards that YouTube gives out to people who reach certain subscriber thresholds and, …

How Terrible Fans Ruined Space For Me
Ever since I was a child, I absolute adored space, both the idea of the place, the planets, moons, stars, and other things out there, and the exploration of it – rockets, missiles, men on the Moon, I couldn’t get enough of it! I’ve been learning what I can about these subjects for literally as …

We Have Burnout – Hostility In The Space And Rocketry Online Community
Cutting straight to the point, I’m somewhat burnt out right now – namely, with regards to SpaceX, space subjects in general, and a few other things. Reading comment after comment on the SpaceX front has certainly been a chore, having to see them mentioned in every single space related subject ever is itself quite annoying, …

Let’s Look At The Comments On A SpaceX Facebook Post
In keeping with my desire to be “that guy” addressing the cult like nature of SpaceX fans, I thought today would be a good day to look at comments on a SpaceX post on Facebook today regarding (as of the time of this writing) an update Elon Musk will provide regarding the Interplanetary Transport System; …

The One Big Problem In Using A YouTube Video As An Article Subject
As anyone who follows this site will notice, many of the article subjects on this site are videos that are usually, if not pretty much always hosted on YouTube. This isn’t normally a problem, and the worst I’ve had before is maybe a one-off video being deleted, or something that isn’t allowed to be embedded …
