YouTube! & Eddie Izzard's Encore on Computers

I love YouTube! It is a riot and I like the democracy of it. Everyone can get a chance to be out there! I would never have thought of using it as a reference tool--thanks for that great idea! I have had some slow download issues in the past but my husband says that when you have opened a video once, if you return to it you won't have trouble playing it. True or false?
I can see promoting libraries on YouTube--I thought the Infosoup contest was brilliant and got amazing results! :) I liked some of the example links. I enjoyed, "Now your Library is open late" and I thought that " iACPL 4.0" was excellent. I like video as a format that can be educational, funny and clever. I am really glad that there is so much already on YouTube about libraries. It is exciting that people are being humorous & affirming about the library profession!
The following video made me laugh so hard that I cried!! Enjoy! I'd like to know what you think!
Beware: Rated R for language.

Screencast

The screencast re: how to create a screencast was very informative. I like the idea of showing people around through a screencast. I can see using one about Infosoup and/or even about our website. Another fun opportunity and tool!
Here is my humble attempt at one.
