A lot of corny jokes, but a lot of truth too

from Mike C

Ever since Avatar became a success, 3D has been buzzed about almost as much as the iPad.

And like with the iPad, most of the discussion seems to be about pointless ideas, such as the need for 3D videoconferencing. I have no interest in videoconferencing at all, let alone in 3D. Yet, as a proof-of-concept, this is kind of cool.

I need to get in on this 3D thing

from Mike C.

I heard of this duo on NPR and checked out their YouTube channel. They make "videosongs" where they show all the tracks used in their songs. It's a good way to see how songs are produced.

I can't stop watching this one. The song is absurdly catchy (being almost a nursery rhyme in simplicity) and the woman singing has a really pretty voice.

Watching this makes me want to make music.

Prior to one of Charlie Rose's interviews with Chuck Close, the staff recorded a 'Charlie's Green Room' clip, where Close says, "Inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us just show up and get to work." This is a paraphrase of pretty much all the best advice that I've never followed. I'm still waiting for the muse to pay me a visit, to my chagrin.

One treasured memory of when I lived in New York was watching Charlie Rose almost every night at 11 on channel 13 WNYC. The image would sometimes flicker when I walked between the rabbit ears and the tower on the World Trade Center. At the time that seemed annoying, but from what I've seen of digital TV, with its blocky, pixelated artifacts, occasionally dropping out altogether, I definitely prefer analog.

Kuitman, An obviously talented music producer and video editor mixed together dozens of YouTube clips to create wonderful and cohesive music videos.

It's amazing how he found so many clips that are all in tune with each other. He must have done some noise-reduction or other post-production. Everything is just so tight. The voices definitely have some reverb added.

I hope he's like the next DangerMouse and gets a music career going from this
