My Other Job: Interview with Warren Buffett
Posted on November 21, 2010 at 11:08 pm
Those of you who are interested in my other job might enjoy checking out our YouTube channel to see my interview with Warren Buffett. In nine short chapters, he and I talk about everything from his current project with Bill Gates to get billionaires to donate half their money to his Secret Millionaire’s Club website for kids, what he looks for in an investment (and what he ignores), what’s wrong with CEO pay, and what he thinks should happen to the Wall Street guys who created the subprime mess.

Thanks to my son, Ben for suggesting this fan-made trailer for “The Expendables” that challenges all those XY chromosome types out there to make sure the Stallone/Li/Statham/Austin/Crews/Willis/etc. stunts and explosions movie opens up a can of whup-ass on the Oprah-approved, Julia Roberts-starring “Eat, Pray, Love.”
Any predictions?
Happy Birthday YouTube
Posted on June 2, 2010 at 8:00 am
Can it be that YouTube is only five years old? It began in May of 2005 and was bought by Google for $1.6 billion just over a year later.
Now it has twice as many viewers every day as all three television broadcast networks combined. It has fundamentally changed the way we share our lives with each other.
Of course, YouTube celebrated by creating an anniversary channel for users to upload their tributes. “Guest curators” like Katie Couric, director Pedro Almodovar, and Conan O’Brien posted their all-time favorites. And fan favorites like the “Lonely Girl” are back with their thoughts and updates.
Here are a few of my all-time favorite YouTube classics. I’d be glad to hear about yours.

Another one from my mom! This is a story of a dog who could not be what his trainer wanted but was even more than she hoped.
