Jake and A Meet-Up
Jake and I were asked to speak at a Vidblogging meet-up, hosted by Rocketboom this week. They took some footage and made a cool little episode out of it!
Comes in Handey
To me, the best humor pieces are written from the point of view of a specific character.

Another interesting Question and Answer…
Do you come up with “Deep Thoughts” at any given time, walking down the street, for example? Or do you deliberately sit down and come up with them?
I haven’t written any for quite a while, although I am considering writing some new ones. They don’t just come to you. I lie on the floor and throw a football against the ceiling for hours at a time, getting up to jot something if I get an idea. If I come up with seven or eight “Deep Thoughts” in a day, that’s a good day. And once I get a stack, I usually throw out nine to every one I keep.

I can’t imagine making a Hardly Working that I like more than this one. I can imagine TYING this one, but not making one I like more.

I hate to complain about Wikipedia because it’s infinitely vast, extremely convenient, entirely free open-source encyclopedia on ANYTHING… however…
Can they not pay for that same “Did You Mean…” technology that Yahoo and Google have? Look how completely unhelpful they are when you are just one letter off:
No suggestions, no nothing. Stop being such a cold robot, Wikipedia — you know what I’m trying to search for! JUST TELL ME WHAT THE COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HIM, ALREADY!
WE DID IT!
Ten videos in twelve hours. Links to them all here!
Watch one, or collect all ten!
Dodgeball!
Currently up all night with my co-buddies. We just made this vid a couple hours ago, and I really like it!
Hardly Sleeping
Thursday night (and Friday morning, I guess) the CollegeHumor Editorial team (Me, Jake, Streeter, Jeff, Dan, Sarah, Pat, Sam, Vince, Davey) will be staying up all night making videos for the site. From 9pm to 9am we’re going to be writing/ planning/ shooting/ editing 10 original videos and posting them to the front page of CH. I can only assume each video will get sillier and sillier as we slip away into delirium…
This all-nighter is to show solidarity with college students nation-wide who will be staying up late for their final exams this month. I can honestly say we haven’t done anything like this since… at LEAST six weeks ago when we got drunk at work for St. Patrick’s Day.
AT LEAST!

Remember Falindrome.com? The site I made devoted to fake palindromes?
