They're available all week. They just change over on Tuesdays.

What did you think of the 10 or so DVDs we burned for you? There's a lot more where that came from.

Oh, I LOVED most of that stuff. Heheh, just today I was given great advice on finding new music: Consult Chris's Amazon Wish List.

I don't really have the patience for either. I don't browse YouTube, preferring to trust the word of blogs and friends whose opinion has proven reliable, and I rarely spend time seeking out music. But I totally get why people would do either and I think both media benefit from having outlets of free expression.

I think the concept of YouTube is great. I just find the actuality of it to be rather anoying and trying. I don't think my life improved too much with the addition of 300 possible television channels (which is probably why I don't subscribe to any additional channels) and I don't see much improvement with yet another way to view a lot of schlock. Sure, there's good stuff there amongst the crap - just like television - but I'd rather have a good conversation, read a book, or share newfound music. It's just a matter of personal preference.

I think YouTube is great, just because of the opertunity it gives people. You can play with it, and accomplish little or a lot. It's up to you.

I don't brows, but links that are posted here I have usually enjoyed. Thanks to those that post them!

Also, with the advent of small video cameras and phones in combination with YouTube, it's much easier to force accountability on large companies, governent and Police, or rat infested resturants.

This can be a good thing, but yes, it can be abused. Spreading rummors, posting videos that were taken without consent, etc. can do alot of damage.

So much like nuclear power, it can do a lot of good, or a lot of bad.

Surprisingly no, the porn versions are rather useless.
