I’ve been watching this video all weekend. It’s like a kitty happiness drug… and quite possibly the cutest kitty video ever.

LOL. My favorite moment from August’s PBS press tour. I was busy interviewing the Sesame Street gang, so I didn’t realize what happened at the time.
In Steve’s words:
“At the TV Critics Press Tour in August, we interviewed Sesame Street. I was so dumbstruck by watching Maria, Grover, and Cookie Monster, that I ACTUALLY REACHED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA to adjust audio levels on a mixing board we borrowed.
To say this is an incredibly stupid thing to do is an understatement. Grover noticed.”

I twittered this earlier, but it just makes me so happy. So consider it an encore! (via @moth)
Another reason I like Lady Gaga. The girl has layers (sites Rilke as her fav philosopher)… and she’s crazy smart and cognizant about her role in the music business (scrub to 5:15 mark). She just may be our next pop icon.
Before They Were Lady Gaga of the Day: Footage of some nobody named Stephanie Germanotta performing a medley of songs at a 2005 NYU talent showcase surfaced recently on the Internet.
Let me be the first to say, this lady sure can sing. I really hope she makes it.

Techno Dancing Grandma. Amazing! Couldn’t stop laughing. I want to dance like her when I’m her age.

YouTube Direct, a new tool that allows media organizations to request, review and rebroadcast YouTube clips directly from YouTube users. Built from our APIs, this open source application lets media organizations enable customized versions of YouTube’s upload platform on their own websites. Users can upload videos directly into this application, which also enables the hosting organization to easily review video submissions and select the best ones to broadcast on-air and on their websites. As always, these videos also live on YouTube, so users can reach their own audience while also getting broader exposure and editorial validation for the videos they create.
