Pfft, like I know. But four days ago I uploaded a 90-second clip of our cat Pokeweed sitting upright to both Flickr and YouTube. Not a whole lot going on there, just a strange clip of our strange cat behaving a little strangely. The YouTube version has been viewed 28 times. The Flickr version [...]

… to coincide with the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. I’d make brackets and everything. Gambling encouraged. But it seems like it might turn out to be a lot of work, which is sort of exactly what I’d be trying to help everyone avoid. And the real trick is how to convince people they would look [...]

And possibly just the best video ever, period.
