Is anyone else thirsty?

I wish that our ultra-rich overlords didn't waste their money on chocolate martinis and the like and instead cultivated more rarefied tastes, like for truly vintage beer. How refreshing would that be?

I wonder what beer will be incredibly valuable in twenty or thirty years? I want to suggest some fairly awesome hoity-toity beer, but I suspect that some case of High Life or PBR would become sentimentally valuable if that brand was discontinued. Time to make some unconventional investments, anyone?

MOST of Europe?

Maybe you could squeeze by saying that they've got most of western Europe. But please! That's only a smidgen of Europe!

As far as that fun image goes, I think that the person who wrote it wasn't a criminal mis-speller--they might have just ran out of letters.

It's pretty cool to see someone like you, Miss Celiania, who I have only previously read about in live, talking, accented video.

My idea: why not just stick to some sort of video aggregation for the neatorama video offering? Take snippets of the best videos that you can find on the web and give us some samples. Ectomo's Saturday Morning Cartoon series is a good version of this (although, of course, they traffic in pirated cartoons and I suppose you guys would give us entirely legal internet goodness.) I also think a this of links to direct us places would be useful too. Pretty much anything that could be expressed in a normal blog post I think is inappropriate for web video.

An aside, related to this, I subscribe to a Buddhist podcast and one week they were experimenting with video podcast, and it was a guided meditation, which means that the majority of the umpteen-K video was a guy sitting with his eyes closed.

Anyway, keep up with the good work! I hope your helper liked that mint-chocolate chip milkshake (and that you forced him to clean up the remains of the raisin milkshake.)

I dunno - NaNoWriMo seems to take the task of writing a novel more as something like climbing a mountain than like an actual artistic task: you have to push out X number of words each day to meet the arbitrary word limit that counts as a novel so that you can scratch off the task 'write a novel' from your life's to-do list. If you don't have anything that you want to write about, save yourself the Sisyphean labor of writing about it. If you want to write, then just set aside a block of time each day (or a word limit or whatever) and write until your done. I think the difficulty in writing doesn't come from actually setting words down on paper. If it were then our most successful novelists would be teenaged shut-ins penning tome-length installments in their Star Trek:Voyager slash-fiction. The trouble with writing is writing well. And that takes time. Far more than a month, I reckon.

So do it! Write a novel!

Take more than a month!

(Point of record, I am, painfully, writing a novel myself these days. I just set aside an hour each day to sit in front of the computer and I either write or stare at the computer screen.)
