Lessons from a bad drink order.

So, here is another post for the least viewed blog of mine. In fact, not a single person viewed the last post I made...

That said, the other blogs, (especially Today I Learned), are doing *very* well. And this is a personal blog anyway, it's not supposed to be the interesting.

So, what inspired me to post today?

A crappy drink order, at Quickly in De Anza.
I have no problem at all with the store, I have had some good food and drinks there. But I have re-learned two lessons from this drink.

1.  If you order something you have never ordered before, *never* get it in Large...
2. If you order something large, you *will* force yourself to drink it all, no matter how sick it makes you. (This one may only apply to me)

The drink, if your wondering. Is Mango flavored milk tea, with mango stars and perls.

Disgusting....

Now, I think I'm going to share this post, so I feel loved by people clicking the link out of pitty.

New Youtube, New blog. Some ideas.

Hey look at me, I'm actually posting.

Anyway, I was thinking to myself, about this blog, and my youtube channel and thought to myself.

"It's generally not that interesting to watch(or read) people just talk about themselves, at least unless I know the person personally"

So that means that the maximum about of people that will probably watch those is just people who consider me their friend. Which, is maybe 15 people.

So, what do *I* like to watch? Well, I like funny videos, and seeing funny stuff. But I don't know if I'm the kind of guy who can come up with that on the spot. I like informational videos, but creating long how-to's is hard, and I need pretty good video editing skills to keep people entertained for more then a couple of minutes. So, what do I spend my time viewing, that is short and interesting.

Well, I think back to the time I spend on reddit, and besides the funny stuff and ask science, my favorite part of it is the todayilearned subreddit. So I decided I would make a blog and a youtube channel based of this idea.

I'm not going to copy what is on the subreddit, but rather the idea of a TIL, some short interesting factoid.
Here are some basic idea's of the channel:

• I plan to have videos 1-2 minutes long
• Talk about some interesting fact, along with some extra info about it.
• Try to get idea's for videos naturally, as in stuff I incidentally learn. 
• Research the topic to get more info, and share it.

Along with the youtube channel, there will be a companion blog, that will talk about the same thing as the video, not exactly a transcript but similar, and will also give people sources to whatever I talk about. I will likely write the blog post first, then post the video. 

With short 1-2 min videos, I hope for them to be rewatchable and interesting. And good enough to share.

I will continue to update this blog and my original youtube channel with more personal stuff, as well as introducing new projects. I will also post here when I make my first TIL video.
