This Isn't Emo!!!

score

I've decided to start doing little competitions on youtube, and this post is where I'm going to keep score.

Youtube Suicide

Let's say someone wanted to broadcast their suicide over youtube without help. I think I've sussed out everything that they would need to do. This requires some coding ability so it isn't feasible for most prospective dramatists, but I'll tell you anyway.

Step 1: fill out all the information for the video and then write in the location that the video will be stored.

Step 2: Write a bat file or program that clicks on the "upload video" button when you're program is finished recording the file. Run it.

Step 3: Plug the video camera into you're computer and begin recording straight to the hard disk on a timer (i'm assuming that you are using Windows Movie Maker, but if you want to use something else the theory is the same. Also, WMM sucks). The clip file that the program makes afterwards should be usable by the youtube converters. now kill yourself before the timer runs out.

I hope this is useful, if you try it please contact me with the results :)

The Beginning of a New Era

I do however a plan for a new youtube show. I'll write up the first episode tomorrow and film it then or on Thursday.

It's been a while since my last weird idea. how about this?

I just read watchmen. It follows a pattern that I have noticed in great works of fiction, such as 1984 and The Outsider. It seems like they had no idea how to end it. They had a fantastic world which says something about us, but when making the story they seem to have gotten lost and put together something that sort of works but ultimately feels contrived. Particularly, I don't like Dr. Manhattan's change of heart. I don't want to give away the ending, so I'll shush now.

The End of a very Short Era

I will no longer be posting links to my musical youtube videos. It just seemed silly and redundant. however I will tell you that I accept requests and will make every 10th song an original. If you want stay updated (for some strange reason) than subscribe to my channel. updates should be VERY regular. Once I've run through the stuff I already know, I hope to do at least 2 songs a week. Until then expect regular updates (except on Friday and Saturday).

They Might Be Giants. I went a little...nuts with this one.

Bouncing Light To Look Back In time

When light hits our planet most of it bounces off and spends years travelling away from us. I wonder if it's possible to capture that light bouncing off of nearby objects. If the objects were far away, this could allow us to see backwards in time! that would be awesome... I guess...

Isaac Asimov did a story about looking back in time. Its one of his best so I'll get back to you later on what it's called.

Trying so hard just to pay for my crimes"

I messed it up in bits. It works well enough though. I really shouldn't sing that song.

Look forward to "Levi Stubb's Tears" by Billy Bragg.
