On June 19th YouTube debuted there very own Screening Room. I haven't spent much time there yet, but I did have time to check out one of the films currently showing. It's called Are You The Favorite Person of Anybody? and consists of John C. Reilly (Magnolia, Talladega Nights) standing on the sidewalk administering a one question survey. It's a somewhat uplifting, somewhat thought provoking effort, and I must say I enjoyed all four minutes and three seconds of it. If you have four minutes to spare, check it out.




The site will update with four new short films every two weeks, and, according to Arstechnica.com will show feature length independent films on a case by case basis. It's completely free of course, and totally cool for anyone who, like myself, enjoys the artistry of film.

During the writing of this article, my girlfriend informed me of the death of comedian George Carlin, who according to MSNBC.com, died Sunday of heart failure at the age of 71.

In honor of Carlin, My Take invites you to take a moment of your time and enjoy one of my favorite bits.

Celtics, Gambling, Gaming, Gadgets

June 21st 2008 08:01
I know this is kind of abrupt, but I'm a guy with a computer and a lot of time on my hands and I feel like voicing random opinions and shamelessly hoping that someone will care. So here goes...

The Boston Celtics kick ass and I'm really impressed with Kevin Garnett's passion. (Yes, it's a bandwagon thing, not afraid to admit it.) In other sports news, you should all be gambling. CentSports lets you gamble for free! Not make sense? Check it out. It's my new obsession. I'm also obsessed with Nascar 09 on PS3. Not sure why though. The game is a huge letdown from what I was expecting. I've just been bored I suppose. I need something as immersive as Elder Scrolls: Oblivion in my life again. Pretty psyched about NCAA Football 09 though. And I'm finally going to get my hands on a copy of Call of Duty 4. I've heard the campaign mode is short but online is awesome. I'm more of a third person guy, but I'll give it a shot. Also on PS3, if you haven't checked out Qore yet, don't. By the time I got there, all the goodies, like the SOCOM demo and other things, were offline. Unless you're really bored and want to pay $2.99 to watch five and a half minutes of Veronica Belmont segment intros (which I enjoyed... a lot), pass on this one. I plan on paying for at least two more episodes (if it lasts that long) and I'll happily keep you updated.


I just bought a USB turntable, the Crosley Keepsake. It's not what I was hoping, but then again I'd never used a turntable before I got it, so if any true audiophiles out there have any hints, tips or ideas on how I can get the best out of my investment let me know. I bought a brand spankin' new record with it, plugged it in, recorded side A and then to my displeasure, there was so much noise it couldn't automatically separate the tracks. So I went all manual on it and was doing fine till the software unexpectedly quit. Hoorah. Did I waste a loada bones on a lemon gadget? Hope not...

Anywho, I'll be back soon with more random ranting. Stay classy.
