Zapped!

 Friday was a great day!  Just as I am about to stop for the day, BOOM! Then the lights go off and I think I saw a flash of light/spark.  The power does come back, but the Router and GFC outlet were fried.  Getting a new router was easy.  Trading out the outlet was a little challenging.  I was not allowed to even attempt to do the work.  My wife did it her self.  She says I do not do electrical work very well.  All because I hooked up some ceiling fans and the light kit does not work.  The fan does.  Plus, our house seems to have some home made electrical work that does not seem to comply with rules electricians follow.  The first plug was DOA.  She had to order one online.  She hooked that one up and a light kept flashing.  That was because of those pesky things electricians should do.  She reversed some wires and was able to fix it.  It's going to be a rough year with lightning storms, I beleive.  

What Will Hollywood take from the YouTube Successes?

 This weekend two YouTubers ended up at the top of the box office.  What will Hollywood take from it?  Will they cultivate or just through millions at anyone with followers?  I would guess the second option.  By next year, there will be plenty of movies by less talented creators.  They will only get this deal because they have lots of followers.  It will fail and producers will got back to sequels, remakes and comic book movies.  I hope the smaller companies like A24 and Neon take time to grow this sector of story creators.  

YouTube Education

 Influencing is going to take time.  I have a camera.  Other things are coming in.  My daughter needs to learn how to speak more.  She says things but ends quickly.  I have to looking on how the whole process works.  It looks like you have to get a certain amount of views and followers before you can even make any money.  That seems fair.  I will need the time to organize what her channel will be.  I thought of a name.  She loves Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi.  When we first heard her sing it, it sounded like she was singing Living on a Pear.  I even asked if it was a fruit fly song.  That might be a good title.  I can imagine shirts with a pear and a fruit fly on it.  One person on YouTube says one should give themselves 2 years to succeed.  I like that.  

Mandolorian and Grogu

 We saw this movie this weekend.  It was okay.  I asked my daughter her thoughts on the movie.  She said "I don't know!"  She is partially blind and I forgot the headphones for the device we can check out.  It actually describes the action on the screen.  I really don't think she cared or missed anything.  It felt like a color by number picture.  Nothing surprising.  Maybe Disney should get a YouTuber to do the next one.  Their movies are killing the box office while this movie dies quickly.
