Sick...

Was sick yesterday, so I'm writing a make-up reflection today. Still don't feel too well, though.

Youtube? Well, I'd say that Youtube's role in my life was for entertainment. You'll be surprised at the kinds of thing that people post on the website. I usually look up music videos as a way to fill the silence around me (GOOD music videos, mind you), but I do occasionally look out for any funnies like the Japanese Toilet Pranks videos, Hard Gay, and the Batsu Game series of videos. Of course, some of you may not recognise these videos, but I don't expect you to.

Another type of video that I search for are the "educational" videos. They're episodes of shows like Mythbusters, Future Weapons, and Dirty Jobs (all from Discovery Channel), only split into several sections to comply with Youtube's posting rules.

Of course, I never fail to miss the purely madcap videos of things that go BOOM, like a hand grenade in a toilet bowl, a .55 Calibre Anti-tank rifle being fired, a Browning .50 Calibre Machine Gun on full Automatic, and, of course, who could miss out the Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher?

However, as much a part these videos play in my life, I can definitely live without Youtube. Things will be a little duller and a little more quieter, but I like quiet, anyways. Just depends on how I feel like spending my me-time.

Youtube for research purposes? Like I said, you'll be surprised at the kinds of things that people post up. If you consider how to make napalm, plastics explosives, smoke bombs, and a suppressor at home, Youtube's right up your alley.

But for other research topics... I'm not so sure. Well, I guess that you'll find some information eventually, but I wouldn't know. Never exactly used it for that purposed before, but I'd say there's a fifty-fifty chance of something turning up. Depends mostly on what you're looking for, I'd say.

I think that's long enough... which reflection are we supposed to do today?
