Beatboxing flute player on NPR

I've been watching this guy's eye-popping YouTube videos for a while. Greg Pattillo, the "beatboxing flute player" was interviewed on NPR recently.

I'm sure most of you have seen this given that his Inspector Gadget video has been watched nearly 18 million (!) times. But if you haven't, and especially for all my flute-playing friends out there, you have got to see this.



Subscribe to his YouTube channel for more beat boxing, flute playing goodness. Especially if you're also a Mario Brothers fan, because then you'll see his Mario Brothers theme performance too.

Yes I've been blogging less

• Yes, I've been blogging less.
• Yes, I blame it on Facebook and Twitter.
• Yes, I really shouldn't be constraining myself just to the sentence-sized micro-thoughts I can share there.
• No, I don't see it getting much better: it's too easy doing it the other way.
• Yes, the Web browser needs to make it easier to upload pictures.
• Yes, even finding pictures to upload on a Mac using the built in pictures browser is too much of a pain.
• No, Picasa for the Mac doesn't solve this problem because it has difficulty keeping itself synced up to the iPhoto photo database.
• No, Windows 7 doesn't solve this problem either.
• Yes, what we need is a way to right-click upload files to whatever social network/blogging platform you want. Kind of like Pixelpost but built into the file system. And not just for pictures.
• No, I can't think of a way to turn that into sustainable revenue. Otherwise, I'd start it.
• No, I don't know if someone is already doing it. But tell me if they are.

Comcast brought fiber to my neighborhood. Woot!



I wonder if the explains the connectivity hiccup we had last week? Anyway, no problems since then -- though the hiccup forced me to do a big conference call from my cellphone, which really doesn't work well. Oh well, onwards and upwards hopefully.
