And while I’m rendering the last clip of the day, here goes the best youtube video ever. It doesn’t quite fit in the general theme, but it’s way awesome.

The story has it that this is a real commercial, but was dubbed by an unknown worker at the recording studio. The tapes were discovered years later, and noone knows who came up with the best voice over for a union spot ever.

If anyone knows anything about this clip or how it ended up on youtube, let us know in the comments.

We are nearing that part of the day where youtube is no longer healthy. But this gem is shareworthy. Good start, but I suggest they read some other stuff too. They’re so enthusiastic, they’ve even started working on their beards!

Just checking if this is working. Here is an awesome pic of a public toilet hidden in the backyard of the Camel and Artichoke at Waterloo. There’s no way anyone could ever find this. Also for some reason it makes me think of the Tardis. Maybe because the Tardis would be way less out of place in that spot.

cogito ergo seditio

Here we are, let’s see where it takes us. I’ve tried starting a blog before. A few times. Some I never did anything with. Other’s prospered for a while and then fell apart. One reason was that I have been inherently incomfortable setting up a blog hosted on corporate services. It’s just so cumbersome. They log my IP address and I have no idea who they could be passing this information too. They also log the readers IP address. They could take down my blog or suspend it at any time, and there is no way to dispute this. All I would be able to do is appeal to their good will. While they can find out about me, including where I live and other personal information, I have to deal with an anonymous and unaccountable organisation. And it is a corporation. While I do not necessarily want to get paid for the creative work of writing and maintaining a blog, publishing pictures and video, I just don’t like the idea to let others make money on the back of this labour.
