Oct. 13 Steve Jobs success tips: I was watching 20/20 last week and there was a segment about him. I needed this because I need inspiration to keep me going. I don't know who was explaining SJ's tips; all I remember was a man in a suit talking about the 7 tips.
I went on Google and there are a lot about SJ's success tips and videos about him.
1. Do what you love. An example is Rachel Ray who was giving 30 min cooking shows at Macy's before she got famous and got her own TV show.
2. Put a dent in the universe. Make a concise vision, that could be put in a Twitter post. An example is President Kennedy wanted to put a man on the moon. It was a concise plan.
3. Say no to 1000 things. It's to focus on the few important things. It's about simplicity.
4. Kick start your brain. Do something different, and it will make you think differently.
5. Sell dreams, not products.
6. Sell experiences.
7. Master the message. You are judged by how you communicate.
Sophia Grace: I saw this on Yahoo about this 8 yr old girl named Sophia Grace from the UK. She is singing and dancing to Nicki Minaj's song "Super Bass." Her 5 yr old cousin Rosie is by there dancing along. Here they are in the interview, singing and dancing to the song on the Ellen Degeneres show.

SG does an American accent for Ellen, and I thought it was pretty good. Here they are with the real Nicki Minaj. NM tells them that she's going to take them on a shopping spree to buy books, book bags, pencils, clothes, and guitars. I thought that was really nice of NM to do that, and she actually mentioned something educational like books to buy.
There's also a clip where NM tells them to stay in school. They also perform the song together here:

My nitpick is that these are little girls and they don't really know what the song is about. There is a lyric "he might sell coke" and few references to sex.
Just Go With It: I was on twop.com thread "TV moments that Angry up the blood".
Nagurikorosu: Stars has been promoting their newest premiere Just Go With It film with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston and the concept of the film just pisses me off. In order to date one woman, Sandler's character is pretending he was married to another. And well, as comedies goes, the lie gets bigger and he has to pretend that he has two kids.
This is not funny. At all. Its creepy is what it is. I've seen this premise in a Hornitos commercial where a Vice Principle at a class reunion pretends to be another student, so she have relations with a former student. There was no need for her to lie to him. And when the VP is outed, the scammed student is turned on, instead of disgusted.
This really isn't okay movie and ad execs. If someone can't truthfully tell you something as simple as who they are. Its not sexy or desirable at all. They're probably not going to tell the truth about...oh, their std status, their birth control methods, exes and relationship status. You know minor stuff that you'd want to have at least some idea of before you jump in bed with them.
Also, no man lies about having kids. But they will lie about not having kids... Which is also part of the reason why Just Go With It pisses me off. Its almost too easy to twist into the Lacey Peterson/Amber Frye(?) story.
Eegah: It's actually a remake of a film called Cactus Flower, which has much classier actors and treats the situation a bit more seriously. Just stick with that one.
Me: I haven't seen the movie, but the trailer looks funny. It's an interesting comment. I never noticed that a man never lies about having kids, but will lie about not having kids. I never thought about the Lacey Peterson and Amber Frey story. I didn't know about Cactus Flower until I looked it up.
Oct. 16 Youtube Generation: I was watching 20/20 on Sept. 23, 2011. It was about how people became successful and famous on Youtube. Did you know that 48 hours are uploaded a day? This is relevant to Steve Jobs saying "Do what you love" and Sophia Grace who got famous on Youtube.
Michelle Phan: She went to a job interview for Lancome to work at a beauty counter. She got rejected. She then taught how to put on make up on Youtube. She's a 23 yr old art school drop out, and now she is the face of Lancome.
Joe Penna: He's a mystery guitar man. He makes music videos. He then gets discovered, and then directed and starts in a McDonald's commercial.
Moms on Youtube:
Mindy puts instruction videos on how to braid daughter's hair. She got 2 million views.
Betty's Kitchen: Betty is a mom/ retired math teacher who has a cooking video on how to make salsa. She did kind of have the vibe of a teacher because of how she was instructing the viewer.
Crafty Gemini: Vanessa created a site called Crafty Gemini where she teaches sewing on Youtube. She wins a trip to NYC and got $35,000 check for her instruction videos.
Music video spoofs: There is Katy Perry music video parody of her video "California Gurls." Here's the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_stcgW8E4o
The real Katy Perry said: "I'm flattered."
They talked to Mike who was a bell boy before he quit so he could be a full-time Youtube video producer.
Greyson Chance: He is a 14 yr old boy who plays Lady GaGa and puts it up on Youtube. He then goes on Ellen Degeneres. He plays the piano and sings great. I went on Youtube to listen to him after the show. EG started a record company and produces GC's album. The segment closed with him singing: "You're afraid of taking chances/ How are you going to reach the top?"
Youtube and the news:
Tornado videos.net: It's about filming tornadoes.
Neda: There was news when Neda was shot in the head, and bleed out. Grown men were yelling "Don't leave us!" Here's the video:

There was footage of a car running over a protestor.
Khan Academy: Khan is an East Indian guy is a MIT/ Harvard graduate who teaches everything from math to history on Youtube. His hobby reaches millions of people. Bill Gate's kids watch his videos and BG donates money to his academy. A small staff translates his lessons in different languages to get to different audiences.
Obama girl: Does anyone remember this? It came out in 2007 and Amber Lee Ettinger is dancing around and singing about how she loves Obama. I checked the credits and the singer is Leah Kauffman, but Amber is starring in it. They interviewed Amber, and she is hosting as "Gadget Girl" and has her own jewelery line. She never met Obama.
Dentist kid: The kid named Dave who came home from the dentist. He sits in a car and is talking to his dad. He was 7 yrs old. Daniel Tosh interviewed him and the kid on DT's show Tosh. O. 20/20 interviewed the kid and his dad, and they're making money off ads.

United Airlines: There's a music video about how "United Airlines breaks guitars." This guy named Dave used United Airlines and it damaged one of his guitars really badly. He's not a lawyer, but a songwriter. So he wrote a song and made a video. He got 1 million hits in 4 days. He flew again on that airline, and they lost his luggage. United Airlines lost a lot of business because of the video, but they didn't tell him to stop and take down the video.
Here's his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo
Me: How about a video about hating Wal-Mart?
I typed "I hate wal-mart" and I got a whole bunch of videos:
