New YouTube Layout?
Maybe I missed this, but it looks like YouTube videos have a slightly different layout. There’s a more organized and full featured tabbed area right under the video. And some of the major tab area (Share, Favorite, Playlist, Flag) have subtabs.
I like the new change!

Remember Your Roots
Seems like a recent theme afflicting businesses is getting too big and forgoing their heritage. The answer obviously is to remember your roots and embrace your history. Such as it is with Starbucks.
Starbucks recent big secret of its Pikes Place roast continues to draw attention. The coffee itself is getting good reviews for being “un-Starbucks-like.” And even the use of a modified retro Starbucks logo has struck a chord. Both changes came about since consumers felt the coffee chain had become too commercialized and lost its way.
However, Starbucks is not the only business that’s gotten too big for itself. Soon-to-be-in-Hawaii Victoria’s Secret is pondering the same problem, having become too sexy. What is their equivalent Pikes Place solution? Get back to their heritage of “ultra feminine.”
What’s ultra feminine? I don’t know, but I’m guessing it’s not this.

Kobe’s Hyperdunks
Kobe Bryant is pimping Nike’s new Hyperdunk midcuts with a viral video of himself jumping over an oncoming Aston Martin car.
I’m sure the video is fake, but you think kids would try this stunt?

Top Chef Gettin’ Some Heat
Episode 5, The Elements, of Top Chef finally brought some heat to the tepid series although a little awkwardly. The competitions were okay, and all you got to know is that half of the lesbian couple, Zoi, was eliminated. The heated fun came after Zoi was told to pack her knives as tension boiled over in the “stew” room.
And I say awkward since it seems like the show’s producers added this segment just to add conflict and controversy. To me, it didn’t really fit the natural flow since the show was over for all intents and purposes. But still it was fun to watch…
Here we go!
