The high costs of running YouTube. - By Farhad Manjoo - Slate Magazine
YouTube as we know it is probably not long for this world, according to this columnist. It's looking less and less likely that it will ever manage to break even.
YouTube - tomcat10sp's Channel
This person has made some videos close to my house. I don't know who it is though.
StoryTlr -- a lifestreaming application that lets you organize items into stories
Cool idea. You can take photos, Twitter updates, Youtube videos or whatever and cluster them together to tell a single "story."
Palin: "I don't know if you'd use the word 'terrorist'" for abortion-clinic bombers
Brian Williams interviews McCain and Palin on the NBC Nightly News, Oct. 23, 2008. There's a lot in this interview, but I'm clipping it mainly because of what it shows about the slipperiness of the term "terrorist" in modern-day political speech. A lot of critics have jumped on Palin for saying that she wasn't "sure" if the word "terrorist" would be appropriate for abortion-clinic bombers. To be fair, the quotation has often been taken out of context. She is pretty clear in condemning such bombings, even if she's uncomfortable with labelling them "terrorism." (However, the deeper point is that she seems to have a special category of violent criminal for whom she considers the word "terrorist" to be appropriate, and apparently Bill Ayers is the only person who fits in that category, as far as I can tell.) Presumably Palin associates the idea of "terrorism" with a kind of anti-American ideology, whatever that might mean, and isn't sure whether abortion-clinic bombers truly fall into that group. Just guessing, though. Discovered via joneilortiz's Friendfeed stream.
"Paul Hill Days 2007," a Wisconsin protest against abortion (YouTube)
A short video made by a Planned Parenthood advocate covering the "Paul Hill Days 2007" protest in Wisconsin. Paul Hill killed abortion clinic doctor John Britton and his escort James Barrett with shotgun fire in Pensacola in 1994; Florida executed him for murder in 2003. The Wisconsin protests included a reenactment of Hill's shooting of Britton and Barrett.
YouTube - Tavis Smiley interviews David Kyuman Kim Part 1
Hey! I know this guy (the interviewee). I went to grad school with him. Why the hell don't I have a book wtih Oxford now out in paper and an interview with Tavis? Huh?
Periaktoi-Bacchae/Περίακτοι-Βάκχες
Once scene from a contemporary performance of Euripides' Bacchae (in Greek), with some singing and choreography. Decent video production; seven minutes long. Considering using this play (in some form) in a Religion and Violence class.
Several handy web-based video tools
I clipped this because it can convert a YouTube video (as well as videos from other sites) into an animated GIF. Which could come in handy someday, I guess. There are a couple other tools at the site. It looks pretty shady, but they seem to work.
