Video video bo bideo

Google, according to rampant rumors, is in talks to buy popular video-sharing website YouTube.com for $1.6 billion. From an article in the Seattle Times:
"It's damn cheap for a company that already has a global presence," said Trip Chowdhry, an analyst with the San Francisco-based Global Equities Research. "YouTube's brand identity is no less than Google's and is no less than Coke's."

What? YouTube has as strong a brand identity as Coke? Poppycock.

Trip Chowdhry, like his name, is ridiculous.

In other news, I went to visit Erica and Bradley last night in Cincinnati and it was oh so wonderful to see them again. We went and played in the park, and then teamed up with their pal Eric at Steak 'n Shake where we discussed the "walking taco" and everyone else saw Luigi from Nintendo but me.

Back at Erica's we began planning the production of a fantacular music video, and Jared arrived just in time. He's taken the tape home to edit it, so stay tuned for linkage when it's up on Google Video. It will be awesome.

I got home at 3am, and woke up at 6 for work at 7. Yeeeehaw.

Update: See lovely Erica's pictures from the day. The handful I took are below.

I know why the caged Erica sings On top of the dome of climbery
Bradley slides with style. Bradley orders a shake.
