There's no big secret about the amount of hate going on at sites like YouTube. In the past week, it's helped to chase off two more of my good online friends; Tim (UpDownMostly) and Rick (Neotrific). Additionally, HelloRodney made a very emotional video about a handicapped woman being chased off the site by haters.

Into all that, uber-hater Mike Skehan - "banned for life" from YouTube six or seven months ago - has asked for clemency and to be allowed back on site. And I don't give a rat's ass.

Sorry if I come across a little angry in this one, but I am.

Here are the links to the videos referenced: Tim's goodbye - Rick's goodbye - Rodney's video - Tom's response.

I normally don't do "cute pet" videos, and I regularly make fun of roller-skating dogs, so I freely admit that this one is not the most meaning video I've ever shot. It was shot back in January, when my wife and I came across this group of wild turkeys walking up Skyline Blvd. in the rain one Sunday afternoon. While I've gone on to other videos, she keeps asking, "Have you edited the turkeys yet?" So, this is for her...

This is the question posed by YouTube member JackDanyells in his Do you support the arts on YouTube video and TubeArts challenge.

I have answered the question in somewhat poetic form in this video:

The presidential primary season here in the U.S. seems to stretch on forever. It's confusing and painful, and that's for those of us who are actually interested in this stuff. With this video, with tongue in cheek, I attempt to explain what's going on for my friends overseas...

A reply video to 30andout who asked, "Should I concentrate on making one type of video, and  not be so scattered." Since when is scattered a bad thing?
