Interesting Links (articles, videos, and more)

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Giddy Blog (the name of this blog — it only took me a single second to think up that name) is my personal log of events and thoughts in my life that I like to share with the world.
Over the past year or so it has mostly featured posts with advice from personal experiences. If [...]

The Internet merging with “Mainstream TV”

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

It’s common knowledge that people are watching much more video content (and, of course, text and audio) online these days. Traditional television content is available for viewing online (via Hulu, iTunes, and respective TV station websites, etc.) and many web shows (such as Wine Library TV and Diggnation) are viewable on televisions via TiVo, Roku, [...]

VidCon 2010 is YouTube-only

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

I’ll start off with the fact that I dislike discovering events during or after they happen.
If you’re like me, then you’ll be sad to know that VidCon is happening right now. According to the official VidCon website:

Back then I didn’t have any niche topics to discuss, so the show is basically just an audio blog with fairly high production value [...]

What happened to Dumb and Dumber suits?

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Ever since I saw the movie Dumb & Dumber I’ve wanted the orange suit that Lloyd (Jim Carrey’s character) wears in a party scene.
I’ve always loved wearing suits and formal wear. I liked to wear ties even before Avril Lavigne made it ‘hip’; though she probably influenced me to wear them more.
When I saw the [...]

Absorbing Feeds

Friday, April 30th, 2010

This afternoon I saw this tweet from @MaggieConv:

I see statements similar to this all the time from my peers. Personally, I tried out Google Reader a few years ago, but I was never able to routinely check it, and just left the feed count to surpass “(1000+)”. Over the past few years I’ve tried out [...]
