If you’re a subscriber of my Youtube channel, then you’ve likely already noticed that I started a new show!

The 60SR is a new webshow featuring top entertainment stories told in 60 seconds or less. The show covers popular news and viral videos, as well as fandom updates for The Hunger Games, Twilight, Harry Potter, and more.

In 2010, the second video in the series (Robert Pattinson In Spiderman 4) virally reached over 600,000+ views (!!!) even though it was much shorter (how could I survive only talking for 40 seconds back then?). The other videos have been some of my most responded to date. Due to the success of the show so far, I’ve decided to try these shows as a regularly scheduled feature on my channel.

Be sure to subscribe and be part of the show (I’m so close to 60,000 subscribers right now!). Subscribing is free and lets you know when you visit Youtube.com if I’ve post a new video:

The plan is to make a new show every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (if writing deadlines get in the way, I’ll switch to Tuesday/Thursday). These will be in addition to my regular music videos/vlogs on Saturdays/Sundays, and any breaking news updates. It’s the same type of vlogs I’ve been doing for years, organized in a sharper format. The 60SR is the 60 Second Rant, or the 60 Second Review, or the 60 Second Recap… all in one!

Here’s the video from  yesterday:

I’m finally home from one of my rare long vacations! This time I went to Canada, then southwards to visit my family for the first time in over a year. It was a much needed break after all that non-stop, up-to-4-AM work on the Secret Project!

Of course, I’m that person who vacations for 10 days, and doesn’t end up with a single photo of himself. My friends want proof I actually took a break for all that time, because THE VACATION COULD BE FALSIFIED. Will photos of chickens do?

I’ll be on NPR’s “All Things Considered” this evening, talking about the awesome that is Gayle Forman. If you remember, I wrote an article for NPR.com back in October of 2010 about Gayle’s masterpiece novel “IF I STAY”. It went on to be the #1 article for multiple days, thanks to loyal upvotes by the Nationeer army.

Now months later, NPR will be broadcasting my recording of it tonight. It’ll be fun to hear myself back on the radio after 3 years of absence! You can hear it on All Things Considered or on their website after 7 PM EST.

It seems to me that The Hunger Games is on the track of Twilight and Harry Potter, with the slowly churning fan frenzy and the movies and merchandise. Think it could get as big as the other phenoms?
