So what's the deal here?

Welcome to the blog of Gwen, photographer/comic trapped in the body of an occasionally mild-mannered (but tenacious and dedicated) Reference Assistant. This is my effort to explore the true meaning of the 23 things designed to help us learn (master would be a bit too much for me to expect) Web 2.0.

"thing" no. 20: Uploading and sharing videos

This "thing" has been such a trip. And a half.

Tried out YouTube and Truveo, signing up for both. All of this music that I dearly love and coming out of my computer (well, actually, the speakers), no less. Don Henley and the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, Jackson Browne doing one of his oldies (before he started writing awful stuff)...

See the link to Henley and the Eagles doing "Sunset Grill." It's in the upper right of this page, the third item down.

Have to say, though, that sound does not always age well with time. For example, there were tunes from live concerts in the 1970s on Don Henley's own web site that
sounded like a tinny piano. Pardon me, I need to go back to Henley singing, well, almost anything. Gorgeous voice.

Now that you ask, it's hard to put into words. Reserved at first, but tend to warm up with time. Hope never to lose my sense of humor... or my curiosity. A true wiseguy (there is another word that begins with an "s") pretty much since I could talk... Planning one of these days to return to the piano. Fascinated by the many ironies in (and of) life.

(Some of) my favorite things

  • Cross Creek (old flick)
  • Educating Rita (old flick)
  • Julia (old flick)
  • On the Waterfront (quite old flick)
  • Out of Africa (old flick)
  • The Verdict (I think this was my favorite Paul Newman movie.)
