• YouTube - The Internet
  I recognize the lower right logo from the CBC. The Internets could be big in Canada.

• Rosie O’Donnell apologizes for “ching chong” comments from YouTube video
  Poet Beau Sia delivers an open letter video to Rosie, she responds on her own blog, e.e. cummings style
  (tags: asian youtube 8asians racism video)

wow, I really liked the video Beau Sia made.

It’s kinda funny, because I was watching The View that day, and I changed the channel right after Rosie said that, and haven’t watched the view since. I used to like Rosie, but recently her judgment has been very poor. It’s not funny.

I have to admit I got a kick out of the whole Internet Video as well. Back in the day before windows and all that, I worked for Xerox, and we had our own internet of a sorts, and I often chatted on messege boards (usually biblical) with people all over the world. I remember thinking “how cool would that be if we could have this in our homes?”

We’ve come a LONG way!

That’s Peter Mansbridge! He’s Canada’s Dan Rather, or something like that. Famous news anchor.

Man, that’s an old segment.
