An Addiction Continued…

The more I explore YouTube, the more great things I find. YouTube has these concepts of “channels.” I can create my own channel which people can subscribe to.

I randomly came across Diddy’s profile while persuing some random stuff. I was curious who else would have channels and whether other actors/musical artists have adopted this as a way to release content. I came across the HappySlip channel which have videos made by a 20-something filipina. Here are two videos which had me laughing:

Morning Meest

and

YouChoob

MyTube

Like everyone else, I’ve been obsessed with YouTube. Frankly, it’s quite amazing. Despite all the laws it is breaking, you can find anything from mixed martial arts fighting to a hilarious South Park episode to.. well anything! There is no end to what people will upload.

I’ve jumped on board. I haven’t jumped on board this piracy bandwagon but I’m now using YouTube to host the random videos I’ve created using my digital camera throughout the years. The process isn’t exactly seamless. I take the videos outputed by my camera, use some easy software to convert it to DivX and then upload it. The conversion to DivX leads to some quality loss but incredible compression.

So far I’ve uploaded videos like:

Bryan Golfing
