Feb 22 2023 - If you Live in Grimsby

 

So who is Ryan?  If I live in Grimsby, Ryan wants to speak to me.   Ryan is a popular name, so there are a lot of celebrities named Ryan.  First up, there's Ryan's World (formerly Ryan ToysReview).  We looked at this Ryan a few years ago.   It is a children's YouTube channel for children aged 2–6 featuring Ryan Kaji along with his mother (Loann Kaji), father (Shion Kaji), and twin sisters (Emma and Kate). The channel usually releases a new video every day. One is Huge Eggs.  Surprise Toys challenge has 2.0 billion views as of January 2023.   The family made over $250 million in 2021 - it has been listed in Forbes as the highest-earning YouTube channel.  A lawsuit was filed against Google over inappropriate advertisements and paid sponsor content.  There are now new rules on what is on YouTube for children's content.  Which of the other Ryans would it be?  Ryan has been a top boys' name in the United States. from 1976 to 2010.  There are a few headlining content.  Ryan Reynolds is a Canadian/American actor. There's Ryan Fraser in soccer, Ryan O'Reilly in hockey and Ryan Alford on the Emergencies Act. Here's an excellent Ryan joke:   I think Ryan Gosling is mature enough now.. for us to call him Ryan Goose.

June 24 2021 - In a Nutshell

 

You can find a lot "in a nutshell."  But mostly history. It started with Roman writer Pliny's description of Homer's Iliad being copied in so tiny a hand that it could fit in a nutshell. That is such a wonderful image, isn't it? Kurzgesagt is German for "in a nutshell" and it is a German animation and design studio started in 2013.  I was attracted to the more literal translation of the name:  "shortly said."  The company has explained many things in 10 minutes or so - things like The origin of consciousness, Wormholes, How to build a Dyson Sphere.    These are termed explainer videos. They did extremely well explaining the Coronavirus in 2020. Without YouTube, where would this all be? YouTube has made some many things possible. What is the top youtube channel?  One place says T-Series with 185 million subscribers, another says PewDiePie with 102 million. (PewDiePie is Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, Swedish comedian).  The rankings are by Series or Personalities.  They are all in the multi-millions.  Imagine writing something and it goes out to 185 million people.  Wouldn't that involve a lot of replies and comments, requests for brand representation, and other things like this?   I guess so as there are lots of YouTube videos on the day in the life of a YouTuber, so I expect I could find this out - the videos listed say things like "10 key moments in this video" or "7 key moments in this video", and so on.   I am a YouTube viewer with Millie. She likes to watch cat and dog videos, and responds particularly well to other Cavaliers talking.   It is Martagon lily season - these are small down-facing lilies - many on a tall stem - maybe 3 feet tall.
