I discovered YouTube in early 2006 when a friend recommended it as a source of really obscure SF TV shows. Since then, I've watched a lot of clips from tv to movies to Broadway Tony award shows. Things I used to go to the Museum of Television and Broadcasting to see, I can now see at least bits of on YouTube. Unfortunately, this is almost all illegal and a violation of copyright. Almost every time I review my favorite videos, at least one has been removed for copyright violation. Goodbye, the ending of the last Newhart, so long to the excerpts from Cinderella (the good 1950's version with Julie Andrews), adieu, the entire movie Slipper and the Rose, and well, you get the idea. The good thing is that many of the lost videos get reposted at least until they're noticed again! I believe in copyright but I think short clips should be allowed under fair use. I think they can be an advantage to the copyright holder. I want to buy the Julie Andrews Cinderella now that I've seen parts of it again.
Well, for now, please enjoy the amazing Audra McDonald singing "The Glamorous Life" from Steven Sondheim's A Little Night Music.
Jot has two meanings. Noun: The smallest bit; iota. Verb: To write down briefly or hastily as in "jot down an address." So this blog is of little things often written hastily. The topics will be about information, searching for information, odd bits of information, and at least at the beginning, the OCL Web Challenge.
