If I ran the world
Aug. 29th, 2008 09:11 pmOK, VH-1.
VH-1 Classic is running 80 Hours of the 80's this weekend. Very cool, lots of fun videos. But...
They're doing it alphabetically. WTF?
"So Doug," I hear your assembled voices ask, "how would you do it?"
Vertical tastings. Start with a video from 1980, then 1981, 1982, and so on through 1989. That would give a better look at changing styles and looks, along with making it possible to catch any act at any time.
Why I'm not ruler of the world yet is beyond me.

Western Civilization, safe at last.

As anyone who watches the Heavy Metal Sunday posts knows, I spend a good amount of time cruising YouTube. It's a great resource, filled with some amazing gems among the dross, but the bane of the literate user's experience are the comment threads. Maybe I missed the pop-up on the front page of YouTube's site that says "Abandon all Rules of English, ye who enter here."
The comment threads are where the bottom feeders of the net congregate. Horrible spelling, atrocious grammar, excessive or no punctuation.. it's all there, with liberal usage of profanity.
But now we have hope. Comment Snob It allows you to filter out the worst offenders the same way that spam comments and poorly rated comments are hidden. Better yet, it tells you why the comment is hidden!
I love Firefox, and in fact out-geek
kshandra when it comes to tweaking and adding to it and Thunderbird.
