Some folks are going to be able to start cashing in on YouTube. 8-Bit Trip comes to mind. Makes me want to make viral vids too.

Nice! I know that there's an old brand here in the Philippines which is currently looking to viral videos to rejuvenate their image. While I don't think the company had the objective of profiting directly from their videos, I'm sure this is a welcome development.

The Letter I Would Love To Read To You In Person,
By: Alexis Tioseco
http://rogue.ph/columns/entry/160/P1/


This man really cared about the (non brain-dead portion of the) Philippine film industry, and wanted to share his love for it. He was also a film professor at UA&P, where I graduated from. It's such a huge loss for the future of the industry in the country. There's really not much else to say. It's just sad.

Edit: ...and he's also from Vancouver
Edit #2: Here's a well written tribute.
