Since YouTube is all the rage (Jenn Gee even used it today in a presentation on teaching argument, for Jiminy's Crickets), I thought I'd share this little tidbit I just discovered:
YouTube and NHL team up for strategic content and advertising partnership
“The partnership will enable the NHL to expose YouTube’s vast audience to all of the excitement and drama of the new NHL,” said Doug Perlman, NHL Executive Vice President, Media. “What a great way to showcase the talent of our athletes.”
“By delivering a wide array of daily programming to YouTube, the NHL will be able to connect with its existing fan base and reach a vast new audience that is passionate about hockey,” said Kevin Donahue, vice president of content for YouTube. “Today’s agreement demonstrates how major sports leagues are realizing the powerful benefits YouTube offers in terms of growing their audience and creating a new channel for generating revenue.”
And, of course, most importantly, this means no more getting my video highlights on crappy, jerky, Yahoo Video! Plus, hey, if more people are exposed to the fact that the Buffalo Sabres are downright unbeatable... well, that's good too.

I just heard something on the radio today about how youtube may be going the way of Napster due to copywright issues. The little radio spot is call The Technofile and is hosted by some guy called Lazlow. Ironically, the piece I heard today won't be available for a while as they only updating bi-weekly.
The funniest thing is that the Sabres were winning 2-1 when I posted this... and ended up losing the game 4-2. Just their third loss in eighteen games, but still... weak.
Thanks for the shoutout. Your presentation was very good. Very entertaining. Sorry my presentation was so choppy but some people (ahem Joe Fox) took more than their alloted thirty minutes.
What has this information society wrought?
It could be argued that it has robbed
us all of our imaginations.
Our inner child is starved for the lack.
We have become slaves
to left brain logic...
