When you first encounter the dimly-lit and quite incomprehensible “The Work”, you’ve got to wonder what it might be, but it’s typically completely undefined, at least at first, it is, but I’ve got a different idea. Continue reading
Enriching Your Video Assets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm5pqp0aPIE
The idea of video asset enrichment is to recapture lost effort in the form of improperly constructed video postings, and that means going back into the title line, the description lines and the all-important tags, without which you should not leave home, you bet your sweet assets you shouldn’t!

Thumbnail Technology
What is Thumbnail Technology? Nobody really knows, yet — I’m just making it up as we speak. Okay, let’s define it as that technology which comes into play when you use a thumbnail for marketing purposes.
Here’s an example — I’ve made several thousand “buttons” or thumbnails for Brane-Power.com. They all sport the text overlay, “BRANE-POWER”, which is readable when it’s presented as a thumbnail, small as it may be. Your job is to make SURE that the button is readable by the client at first momentary glimpse, ‘coz that’s all you’ll get. Continue reading
A Day to Remember

Hey, no kidding, you’re living through actual history being made in the moment. IF the DNI actually testifies today, it should be more than interesting — you can get a glimpse into the workings of the SIM by the hints laid out in the testimony, should it be permitted. Continue reading
Blackout Time
I’m up and running thanks only to Jenny, our powerful generator that enables me to continue working in spite of the frequent power and communication blackouts we have here, and the fact is, they are commencing to double-down and triple-down on these deliberate power blackout shutdowns. No videos today, not even showing some of my newest latest thumbnail creations on this blog. Continue reading

Just have enough time between here and breakfast to plug in a few short videos that you might enjoy. We’re in the middle of a rolling blackout that started yesterday and will continue until Thursday morning, I’m told. It’s PGE’s way of getting even with us for being victims, or so they say on the morning news. The short form is that there won’t be a morning meeting today, and there may not be one tomorrow. No electric, guys! It wasn’t a fire, or an accident or a catastrophic failure, just some PG&E guys decided to make rolling blackouts so when something bad happens, they can point to them and say, “We tried our level best to make things go right!”, but they don’t.

Newest Latest Thumbnails!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P_SVitGAEU
Yes, at last, a profoundly effective thumbnail workup that makes your job a whole lot easier, and makes it more likely that someone will hit the thumbnail and view your video, but keep in mind that with my virtual magic thumbnails, THE THUMBNAIL IS THE DESTINATION – the client need go no further to achieve our goal, which is: the thumbnail streamed on by, whether it was viewed or not, it was there for a fraction of an instant, and it’s on every computer that’s tuned in to youtube, but only for a momentary passing. Continue reading
YOU Are In The Picture!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nAkkqTPIm0
Hey, if you were here anytime in the recent past, which goes back to the First Civil War, you probably had yer picture took, in which case it may well have ended up in the collection of group photos I’ve just snaggled for my seovideo thumbnail buttons, and you might very well be staring at yourself selling something on my youtube channel. Well, if not exactly SELLING something, at least touting some deranged method of upscaling into a higher universe, or maybe embossing a medallion for a super winner. Continue reading
Branding Your Ass!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S4Sc8aZULE
Yep, you got it right — the way to identify yourself in the marketplace is to take a red-hot branding iron with YOUR NAME on it and stamp it on your right buttock. That’s the best wa to brand yourself, and make it stick. Continue reading
Captain Whistleblower
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYpudaNGxgw
No bullshit, to quote just about any Presidential candidate or passing Senatorial asshole, “Captain Whistleblower” was the name of one of my Saturday morning cartoon characters on a Saturday Morning Cartoon Show that Jim Carmichael and I put together, “The Impossibles”, which did not sell to anyone, although I understand the name is currently in use — no relation to our show. We ended up working on “Bullwinkle” in Mexico City. Continue reading
