RasterWeb!We all know how much I like to talk about video aggregators… Well, here’s another one, DTV launched today (for Mac OS X anyway!)
Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to tinkernet once you’ve got it running…
Are there still some of you out there who are not convinced that video on the web will completely explode in 2005?
I was unaware of this story about Google until I saw what Jeremy had wrote.
Sadly, people are missing the real story, that Google is looking for chefs that can make organic pizzas! (I made three today, in case you were wondering. Oh, and organic ice cream for dessert.)
I even have my own hat.
So Google, if you still have that job application I sent in, you might want to add “maker of organic pizza” under the part that says “skills” ok?
A simple message for today…
Happy Birthday Emma!
Love, Dad…
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, So I love eight, Eight is great, Eight is the number I do not…”
Ah, let’s look back shall we, all the way back to August 5th, 1997. (Whoops! Really gotta migrate that old content.) Ok, while it’s not exactly pretty, it’s still there. Still online and accessible… 8 years later. 8 freakin’ years of weblogging. 1997 folks, before the term weblogs or blogs were even really used or applied to what it was we were doing… Before Blogger. Before Movable Type. Before WordPress… Back when dinosaurs roamed… I mean, back when you could count the number of webloggers on your fingers and toes…
Luckily I’ve been able to avoid the commercial success many webloggers have enjoyed. While many of the old-timers are enjoying their retirement on their yatchs, I continue to struggle to pay the bills and keep rice on the table. (So we go on…)
Oh sure, I got involved early enough, even jumped into that podcasting thing before it took off and managed to earn the title ‘pioneer’ (which incidentally, does not come with a cash prize) and today I’m playing with videoblogs… What’s next? Who knows? I might, but I’m not telling you!
Uh? So where was I? That’s my problem, always rambling… Anyway, it’s been eight years of weblogging for us here at RasterWeb! and so far we see no reason to stop. In fact, this might be the first post of many which examines why I say that… It ain’t about fame, or fortune, or any of that superficial monetary crap. Others do that stuff quite well, I’m after something else…
Stay tuned folks!
Wow, Cam and Damien are trying to get on The Amazing Race… See Blogger Twins for more info:
We’ve been receiving a lot of email from people who think this is a silly idea and chastise us because they think we want to be famous by being on a reality TV show. Clearly, these people did not watch our video or read much of what we’ve written.
The primary reason for wanting to be on the show is to win the money, and the primary motivation for winning the money is so we can afford to build our mother a wheelchair-accessible house…
I’ve known Cam and Damien for years (online anyway) and they’ve been inspirational and helpful to me in many ways… And their reason for doing this is a damn good cause, so if you can, help draw attention to what they’re trying to do. Link to their site, tell your friends, whatever… Good luck guys!
