Stuff – a – poppin’

Actually, it has been a pretty weird 10 days around here, with some personal issues once again eating up my time, but at this point for maybe some good at the end rather than bad or pain. Resolution, clarity, and maybe a chance of something really decent is sitting about a month out, so I am keeping my eye out there. It is a little stressful, but that’s okay.

It’s also been a weird week because CBGB’s closed, which was about the kewlest club int he world as far as I was concerned growing up. A whole musical revolution came from that club, and it greatly shaped my appreciation for music other than (my at that time prefered) metal. CBGBs closes story is here.

On the porn front, well, there is the new Summertime MILF site, which is pretty nice. Home movie style POV stuff of a guy that spends his summer schlonging this incredible looking MILF with really big boobs and a great attitude. You can see some Summertime MILF Movies over here.

I have some other stuff bubbling under, so probably more news before the week is over with some nice fresh stuff for ya 🙂

The day that YouTube became uncool.

You can mark today down in the history books.  Google has bought video giveaway site Youtube for a mind numbing 1.65 billion (story from cnn here), aquiring the 67 person company that wouldn’t know what a profitable business looked like if they were slapped in the face with it.

Some, such as Marketing Shift, suggest that Google, with it’s vast Adsense network or advertisers will be able to push things like pre-roll ads (those annoying commercials before a video) or otherwise crowd up the youtube space with more and more click for money ads.  (read their take here)  They can see some potential for Google to turn this into a money spinner.

Myself, I see some benefits for Google, specifically using up some of the storage and bandwidth in their new mega-storage facility they have been working on.  Their understanding of how to distribute through the net and provide good service is legendary.   It also gives them many millions of additional page views into their network, which certainly can help.

However, YouTube’s whole deal is being kewl and being somewhat on the edge of legality.  It isn’t unusual to find TV shows and other copyrighted material on the site, and some of the material goes from questionable to downright disgusting.  Think American’s Funniest Videos without the sound effects or the well places censor strips meets Jackass, and you are starting to get the idea.  Blogs link to this stuff, using YouTube’s inline system to display the videos right in the blog without sending the surfer anywhere, which is basically free bandwidth to show videos, but with no chance for youtube to make any income unless they start adding in pre-roll ads.

There is the rub.  Google will not be willing to allow it’s 1.65 billion dollar investment be a black hole of resources and time.  They are going to want return on investment, which is going to mean changes in the product and changes in the way things are done.  Pre-roll ads or other restrictions on material are going to create that sort of “not cool” feel about the place that will likely take away the edge, and turn it into just another popular online site.

Remember, you can tell your kids that you remember when YouTube was still cool.

The endless days and nights of webmastering

One of the interesting things about working on the internet is that there is never enough time and never enough strength to get everything done tha tyou might like.  I have been doing this now for rigth about 10 years, and there are still an endless number of things I should learn, understand, and do.

The longer I keep doing this, the farther I fall behind.   Well, at least I am more aware every day of how far I am behind on things…

Anyway, on that happy note, I get to tell you all that I am working on some new stuff, new ideas, and a whole new thing in my life that could change everything.  Change is good, so I have been told, so damn, I am going to be tossing out a whole ass load of good.  I am working on a new blog called Broadband Wireless Access that is going to be all about the world of wireless internet and stuff.  With the new WiMAX standard coming on strong, it is now possible to get the internet in more and more places… not just short range hotspots but whole regions, similar to cellular service, with speeds up to 1mps.  NICE!

I am also working on a more information site, but I cannot reveal it much yet.  Let’s just say when it comes, it will be nice 🙂

As always, I keep updating stuff too… there are some nice new galleries on Sexy Whore, and tons of blog entires daily appearing on Porn Pig.

Enjoy!
