The thrills and spills of disc dog photography demonstrated by one Tombi. Don't worry, both dog and Tombi came up laughing after this little spill.

A sign for a business in the Puget Sound area of Washington state. I suppose it is important to get one's door hung right.

Of the pictures that I took yesterday at the Kirkland, Washington, Go Dog Go Festival, I believe that this one was the cutest. Just putting that out there.

Pasado's Safe Haven (Wheelchair dog)

This little sweetie takes a lot of time and care, but the folks at Pasado's Safe Haven are up to the challenge.

COSMIC PANDA -- BAMBOO SHOOTS OR COSMIC JOKE?

COSMIC PANDA: COSMIC JOKE OR NEXT BIG THING?

Communicating with the Panda Mothership
Youtube has introduced a beta test site-redesign with the code name, Cosmic Panda. 
As with any beta, it's glitchy, but it shows Google and Youtube's ongoing efforts to evolve and maintain position as the premier video upload site (and advertising conduit) on the internet. 

Cosmic Panda shows great potential for improving Youtube users' experience.  Users will be treated to larger video thumbnails (at least on channel pages) and better organized content.  The beta suggests that users might also be able to control the size of the box in which a video plays, giving more options than the standard or full-screen viewing options presently available.

The upgrade shows potential for allowing creators to have improved control over the positioning of content on a creator channel.  Cosmic Panda also displays features that will allow video content creators to organize their Youtube channels to showcase featured channels, blog-style updates or uploads.

On the beta (glitchy) side:

1) I couldn't manage to do simple tasks, such as post a video response, send a message to a friend or meaningfully work with and compare the four channel templates provided in the update.
2) While a creator's avatar won't require any changes, it seems readily apparent that creators will need to spend some time tweaking their channel background images, choosing a template, and re-acquainting themselves with navigating the video site. 
3) When I tried to give feedback on the Cosmic Panda (solicited feedback, no less) I got an auto-generated reply, saying that my attempt at feedback was not recognized and that I would need to try again later.  Arg!

Anyway, I'm going to give the Cosmic Panda upgrade a B+ for now.  It's a really nice try.  All those hard-working folks at Youtube put a lot into this, it's an ambitious redesign, and it looks very promising at this point.  Cosmic Panda is not a cosmic joke.  It is the quite possibly the look and feel of the future. 

Peace and love.  Jimmy Jump

BIKINI SNOW SKIING ON THE 4th of JULY (Happy Hippy News)



Allow me to show you how we party on the Fourth of July in Washington state ... yeah, Bikini Snow Skiing! The Native Americans called Mount Rainier the "mother of waters" and the "mountain that was god." Bingo! I'm only about an eighth Native American, but the beliefs ring true to me.

Bikini Skiing on the Fourth of July

I worshiped and presented myself to Mount Rainier,
as is my custom.

I payed homage to the Mother Warrior.

There were girls in bikinis.

There were people wearing funny hats!  

There was red, white and blue everywhere.


I went on yet another pilgrimage to visit Mount Rainier, and I had a spectacular time. As I have for the past few years, I journeyed to the mountains on the fourth of July.  Super awesome!

Happy Fourth of July!

Cool Daddy-O Close by Jimmy Jump
Our Fourth of July video, "Patriotic Puppies Oh, Beautiful," is catching a few views on Youtube, mostly due to the fact that Onision has left it as a visible video response to his new release, "Bieber Kill Shot."  I so appreciate that.  Did you know that Onision is better looking in person than he is in his videos?  True!

We had a little dog party this morning ... six or seven dogs ... it was to run the junk out of our dogs before the neighbors start drinking beer and lighting stuff on fire.

PATRIOTIC DOGS • OH, BEAUTIFUL


Yes, I must admit that Red Dog is totally afraid of fireworks! Hard to believe, huh? Is he smart or what? Only a smart being would have the sense to be afraid of fireworks, right kids? Right?

GOOGLE +1 ME LIKE I'M SHANE DAWSON (A HOW TO)



The new Google +1 button -- that's the big news story today. It takes a highly used Facebook function (the Like Button), incorporates a Youtube-like function (comment voting) and pushes those things out into the Google search results. I do have to admit that I was impressed that this worked for the small content creator, meaning that the +1 button can be incorporated into a single video, rather than working only on embeds and websites.  If you're looking on information on how to make money on Youtube, this may need to become part of your marketing efforts. It will be interesting to see how the big names on Youtube configure a call to action to utilize this feature.  As with money, this may become part of how to get more Youtube views.  I'm testing it and will do another review when I have a little more experience with it. Two ways to initiate this function, that I could discern, through sharing it on Youtube and by placing a bit of code at the end of a webpage through the Adsense interface.  I hope the folks at Google have or will enable some form of analytics that will show the usefulness of plus 1.

Youtube is six years old, about the same age as my Red Dog. Coincidence? I think not!
