Good draft. Good drift. Good boosting. Vince bought a Heineken mini keg. After drinking a few bottles, we put this demo together to teach Americans how to properly use the 5-liter Heineken DraughtKeg. Nothing should keep you from your beer. Not even a stupid lever thingy.

Vince tries to escape with a warm bath, Hank Williams III and a Biore® Self-Heating Mask. Nice ring tone. Gaaaaahhhhh.

Just  a short update on a couple of things.

1. CNN will not be offered on the news channel as I previously posted. I found out that YouTube blocks all U.S. viewers from seeing CNN’s content. I guess the cable news distribution model doesn’t work with the reality of U.S. residents increasing preference for getting their news online. Ignoring your audience’s media consumption habits worked really well for the recording industry. Now tech companies own distribution of their content after forcing an old industrial distribution model into an early retirement.
    
2. Phil came by last night with Neil and Ali for some dinner and catching up with old friends. I’ll try to post some video if we weren’t too drunk.
     
3. The girls are getting better with the potty training. Mimi is emerging as a little devil dog. Trudy is an instigator. It’s as though she knows Mimi is a formidible challenge but just small enough to never really hurt her.

(News tab) Today’s First Look from CBS was done by Assignment America correspondent Steve Hartman who keeps it very real and literally answers his phone around :30 seconds into the video. Don’t you want to watch his segment and then go have a beer with Steve? I wish Bob would call Katie Couric in the middle of her Notebook segment. Gaaaaaahhhhh.

UPDATE 5:02p.m. - A few minutes ago, someone at CBS removed Katie Couric’s Notebook segment for today from their YouTube channel.

UPDATE 6:02p.m. - Just as I imagined my last minute Christmas shopping this weekend without seeing Couric’s Notebook segment over and over on the YouTube, it’s back. There is a Santa! Woot!

Where can I share the latest from Rocketboom or Todd Oldham begging for attention? It’s on ”Kicks,” the latest channel I created for kicks and giggles (click the “Kicks” tab above).

The latest video reminds us of a very important holiday that’s easy to miss as we scramble to celebrate the birth of Santa. Let the light shine. It’s National Flashlight Day. 

Mimi is smaller than her sister and they never finish eating at the same time. I’m trying to teach Trudy not to eat Mimi’s food. This video shows why. Mimi growls and snaps at Trudy as her bigger sister tries to muscle her way into Mimi’s bowl.

Chris Dinan filled in for Katie Couric on today’s First Look. These are posted under the ‘News” tab above to give you a preview of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. At about :40 secs into today’s video posted minutes ago, Dinan mentions the Campaign Notebook segment while vigorously adjusting something between his legs.
