Thanks Photon! Actually, that's a custom tune just for the video. It's by Denzil Remedios.

But it's not out yet. You've got connections.

Actually, that is the original version. I just made a single edit and removed the entire middle section.

You're totally right. And the original is much better.

Thank you so much! That's very kind and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me. I've been very busy lately and unable to make new vids, but I hope to get back to it as I can!

Thanks Jennifer! Digital Detox is a great name. :)

Hey Clussman. Definitely still insightful (I hope). Probably not as funny, but just as entertaining. The first couple attempts might suck a bit, much like the first couple of my monologue videos did.

Hey Johnny.

I have experienced that in the past, but I don't think that's what happened last week. I'm fairly aware of my mental cycles and I know my mind is generally filled with inane chattering, but last week things got unusually agitated during a period of moderation.

How long have you been meditating?

Yeah, I do whatever I gotta do for work.

Sure, I think that's within the general guidelines. We do what we have to online and slash the rest down to the bare minimum.

You're in whether you like it or not. :)

Thank you so much! Much appreciated! I'm hoping to have another new vid out this month.

I use a Mac. Why?

Re: Slow Media Diet

Kirby — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 09:20:36 -0000

Yeah, that is tricky, but it's easier for me because I run a fan page, so all I see is Goodie Bag stuff, not everyone's activity. With Twitter I just plan to crosspost to via WordPress.

Sounds like you should do your own animated monologue, Gunnar. :)

Glad to hear it! :)

Thanks everyone!

Whoops, don't know where I got that.

Re: Hollywood vs. New York

Yeah, it's Gershwin. It was most famously used at the start of Woody Allen's "Manhattan."

Thanks Kirstin! I always enjoy your Twitter links.

Re: Goodie Bag :: Talent is Hard Work

Thanks Matty!

Well, it's not my theory. I'm just having a little fun with it. It's Malcolm Gladwell's argument in "Outliers." But my novice opinion is that innate ability is not that important. I tend to think people who do something a lot get extraordinarily good at it. Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods because his father had him hitting golf balls before they cut the umbilical cord. The kid who does cartwheels has been probably been jumping around her entire life.

Singing is different because we're born with a certain instrument. Certain physical traits -- height and build -- are very important for some sports.

Just my thoughts and I'm no expert!

For further reading, get "Outliers" or "Talent is Overrated," which is more about using these theories for competition in business.

The 10,000 hour theory has been around a while, but as far as I'm aware, the first book it appeared in was Daniel Levitin's "Your Brain on Music." http://tinyurl.com/csxe7x

Isn't snark getting a bit dull?

You're so vicious and self-impressed it's obvious you’re a hack.

Here's some non-sarcasm for you: stick your Q factor up your tanned ass.
