Caught out there

I was in the video bar of The Saloon when one of the bartenders approached me:

Bartender: “Don’t you go to the U?”
Me: “..yes…”
Bartender: “I saw your youtube video.”
Me: “My youtube video?”
Bartender: “Yes! About my friend who fell over the bar! It was hilarious, and I sent it to everybody.”
Me: “Eek!”

Hm. Cue it’s a small world after all. Here’s the offending video:

Harley’s Random Swag

I discovered that the dog gets a little camera shy! This is incredibly convenient when I want him to stop staring at me when I’m eating:

Oh, and that is his kennel in the background! The kennel is under a table with a patterned table cloth. This makes the kennel invisible on those rare occasions where I actually shut the door.

99.54% of the time it’s as awkward as it looks in the video.

Youtube

I’m in the process of moving content from my old youtube channels to the No634 Youtube Channel. Please excuse my dust.

One of my favorite series of videos is “Adventres in Broward County.” It features Carlos, Alexandra, and I running around Wilton Manors. Some of the videos are below. If you are a RSS reader then you may have to go directly to the Youtube channel.

On the lake

And this a video of us on a frozen lake:

As I say in the video, I though driving on a lake was absolutely crazy…so when I saw this on the fail blog last night I felt vindicated.

Me (to Jamie): “SEE? SEE? That could have been us!”
Jamie: “Eh, that only happens at the beginning or end of the season…”

Ermp. Okay.

Court cites Youtube

A Minnesota Court of Appeals has cited a youtube video in an unpublished opinion.

The case is about a 14-year-old gymnast who tried this:


The girl (of course) landed on her head, was injured, and sued.

Now, it’s hard to explain the complicated vault, so this is what the court did:

Goetz began participating in gymnastics programs when she was five or six years old, and it appears from the record that she is a fairly skilled gymnast. She attempted the difficult Tsukahara vault for the first time in the autumn of 2001. When performing a Tsukahara vault, a gymnast runs along a long mat, jumps off a springboard, does a half twist, pushes off a pommel horse with her hands while upside down, does one and a half flips, and lands on her feet facing the horse.1

[....]

1 The school district cited a video of Mitsuo Tsukahara performing his namesake vault at the 1976 Olympics. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TmYqSOYZr0 (last visited Dec. 16, 2008). Goetz did not object to the citation. We found the video to be helpful.

I think this is brilliant. It would be terribly convenient for courts to create a youtube channel that contains videos of pertinent material, including depositions (instead of transcribing them in opinions)…

…heck, or even Westlaw – “Defendant robbed a bank…see the video here.”

… “Defendant cussed out judge and was thrown in jail for contempt of court…see video here.”

Sure, it might put TruTV out of business, but I still think it’s the business.
