More information is good. Get your friends (and maybe your mom?) on YouTube, the right way.

From the YouTube Blog

If you subscribe to the YouTube channel, you may have noticed a slew of new videos uploaded recently. They’re part of an initiative called “YouTube 101,” a series that explains basic features to new users. With hundreds of thousands of people creating new YouTube channels every day, there are a lot of folks out there who may not know that they can share a video privately, customize their channel or even how to upload a video — in full HD, no less.

I’m trying to make it easier to update my blogs. Posterous is great, but I’d rather have my traffic going to one place. I will continue to use Posterous for sending pics form my phone. It’s great for that.

I’ll let you know in a later comment to this post if I like it or not.

My first post handwritten post. I’m sorry it’s so sloppy. Yes, the lost of of handwriting is obviously lost to me.

Make sure you open it fullscreen since 1) you can’t read it otherwise and 2) the first page is blank for some reason. I’m working out the kinks, I guess. There is some ambient audio too. Playback is spotty and loooong, so jump ahead.

I. Photo editing, What app?

Extra costs

Which one?
I. Lenovo S10, because it has an ExpressCard slot and looks pretty capable

Updates to this list will be made in Evernote to be Found here.

I’m a big fan of Evernote. You should check it out.  I just learned I can publish one of my notebooks online. Pretty cool.

Here is my public Evernote notebook:

Check out Niel Young’s work converting a 1959 Lincoln to Electric. Hopefully, this will turn into something big. It’s pretty cool.
