My colleagues over at PulpSecret just cut the footage of our Kevin Smith meeting at NY Comic Con into a slightly different version than the original Galacticast one I posted a couple weeks back. Embedded above, or here at this link for anyone who can’t see it.

• Juiceboxxx (video above) thoroughly rocked the house at the BuzzFeed party, though it was hard to tell sometimes with everyone seeming more focused on taking great photos than dancing. We thought it might just be the Flickr-pro SXSW crowd, but Juiceboxxx mentioned to Jonah after the show that it was the same for him at a recent show in Williamsburg, where he didn’t know that the crowd liked his show until he read about it on all their blogs the next day. “No one lives in realtime anymore,” he said.
• We almost didn’t have a Juiceboxxx show that night: someone had misplaced the turntable cartridge at the venue, and there was no way for him to spin his records. Luckily, my lovely wife Rae, who went to school outside Austin, thought to call the nearby Waterloo Records minutes before the store closed at ten, and Molotov’s owner ran the four blocks on foot to buy the part and save the day.
• “Does Chuck know what he’s doing?” Chuck Olsen’s behind the scenes footage of the Rocketboom Dan Rather interview is totally brilliant. In the right remix, that quote could be the “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” for the vlogger generation.
• Nerd jokes: Ask a Ninja’s video for the SXSW Web Awards. “Kevin Rose has underwear older than Web 2.0!”
• Grabbing some coffee one morning at the hotel, met the guys from Toronto’s Uncut, who were playing a number of shows that week. I liked how one of them told me their band’s name. “Uncut?” (with a shrug). Listening to their music, I’d say they should have said, “Uncut!” with a fist in the air.
• On Friday night, we had a surprise birthday party for Casey McKinnon in a weird roadhouse karaoke place in North Austin. Lots of vloggers there, including a funny reunion of four of the vlog deathmatch ladies, captured on video by Lan Bui. You can see me walking dorkily out of the frame when I notice the cameras rolling.
• Finally, whoever booked The Little Ones for Yahoo’s SXSW party deserves a promotion.

Why does everything have to change? Ze ends a year of the show. What a great year it’s been. It’s hard to know what to say about it, except that a year ago, things were so much different, for him and for many of us watching. I owe Ze a lot — it’s safe to say I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing now, may not have been able to make it all happen to move to NY and start the new company, if it wasn’t for him, and I know lots of people who have been inspired and touched by the show. That’s pretty unbelievable. Bravo, Ze. We love you. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

Favorite episode? Hard to say, but the debt and ray are two from the last few weeks that I really loved.

We’re having a lot of fun producing promos for our networks (like my favorite so far, “Bill Hayes,” now playing on PulpSecret). I got a kick out of this one today, though — a promo for Fast Lane Daily, our car news show, based on the popular Line Rider videos.

Worldwide Fido, which launched in beta this past weekend, is a new kind of dog show. Anyone can enter their dog to win prizes and unending glory by uploading videos and nominating their dogs for categories like Best Trick, Waggiest Tail, and Best Tickle Spot. Worldwide Fido is all about love of dogs, not love of breeds, and was a lot of fun to work on. Produced by Worldwide Biggies with design by Threespot and development by Davidville, this was the last freelance project Emil and I did before our new NNN gig.

If you love dogs, there are lots of fun ones to meet here — please vote for your favorites, and join up if there’s a special dog in your life you’d like to win.
