Casey McPhee gets the train through!

I'm actually enjoying the new version of iTunes, and it's making me covet a video iPod even more than I did before.  I've made a playlist with all of the Sesame Street clips I've downloaded from YouTube, so now I can just put it on shuffle and it's like watching a bunch of episodes straight through.  It links easily to QuickTime settings, making it possible for me to watch things on full screen (I have QuickTime Pro, thanks to my dad's flagrant spurning of terms of use) without having to leave the program.  The interface is pretty nice in general -- the podcast section in particular seems much better organized than I remember it being before.  Which doesn't make much difference to me, because I'm not really that into podcasts.  My dad keeps raving about them, but all the hype doesn't change the fact that they're really just regular old mp3s that happen to have a variety of content within one file.  I don't see how that's particularly revolutionary.  Still, the Muppet podcasts are fun to listen to, if far too short.

I wanted to post a link to the "Alphabet Chat" sketch where Guy Smiley (née Bernie Liederkrantz) does an ad for Bow Wow Chow.  But You Tube's down.  So I'll come back and post it later.  I just wanted to get something up on this blog, cuz, you know, why not?

EDIT:  Let's see if this works:
