Video platform equality, from the labs of Rocketboom R&D and Mag.ma:

rocketboomdev:

In today’s age, we don’t judge books by their covers. We judge them by their thumbnails. We also judge videos, e-books, software, and people the same way. Engaging an audience demands engaging them visually, no matter the medium. Some of our peers in the online video community recently noted that Tumblr allows the display of thumbnails for YouTube embeds on their dashboard, but other popular video sites, such as Vimeo and Blip.tv, are currently left out from showcasing their user videos with a thumbnail image.

Rocketboom R&D, the development unit of the Rocketboom network, has created a simple solution: a browser add-on that allows Tumblr users to see any video’s known thumbnail in their Tumblr dashboard. There’s no platform favoritism; this enables nearly every other common video platform the ability for thumbnail display. The add-on was created using Mag.ma, our own video aggregation service, to do thumbnail lookups for numerous video platforms with our simple API methods. The results? Uniformity for Tumblr users and creative support for content creators.

Get your browser add-on for Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, and visit the Tumblr Video Thumbnails add-on page for information, installation help, and more. Special thanks to our friends at Vimeo, Blip.tv, and Wreck & Salvage for their testing and support.

Internet scientist Elspethjane investigates the tale of Antoine Dodson, a college student from Huntsville, Alabama who became an overnight celebrity after giving a passionate TV interview in defense of his sister after she was assaulted in her bedroom.

I really enjoyed working on this script for my first Know Your Meme episode. Mike’s “Bed Intruder” cover was a lot of fun to shoot even though I had to hide underneath a table with the boom mic. 

To learn more head over to KYMdb - Antoine Dodson / Bed Intruder.
Production credits can be found here.

Take special note of what Kenyatta requested his title be, haha!

What [General Dodonna’s] presentation would look like while following conventional slideware templates found on present day planet Earth. “You can’t see this well on this Micro Galactic ProjectionPoint, but an analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station. Follow this link at the bottom of the screen for more info if needed.”
