On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It’s a total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010.
The Sun goes down. The Moon comes up. You go out and look at the sky. Observing the eclipse is that easy. Maximum eclipse, and maximum beauty, occurs at 10:26 pm EST (7:26 pm PST).

As I reported earlier on 21 minute downtime YouTube experienced, one of the first things I noticed was the new Heart logo. This is of course subject to change after tomorrow but after looking further more, here’s a new add-on - ADS IN VIDEOS!
This was bound to happen as we all know. Let’s just hope they keep it nice like the Chrysler ad I saw in one video. There’s a little Yellow Tag on the movie line telling you when the ad will show up. I just hope we don’t get 10’s of them in videos soon
What do you think? You like it or not?
Go to YouTube.com and check some videos. Ads are dynamic so they do not show up on all videos yet, and when I pasted the video above - the ad was gone
I did take a screenshot pretty quick:
Now this might sound strange but, YouTube did not have these ads earlier right???? If they did - I’m then really lost since I’ve never ever seen them!!
Can anyone confirm

For some odd reason our server experienced a major heart-attack an hour ago. It’s slowly recovering so please forgive the snail-speed experience!
Thanks for your understanding. Doctor says it’ll live so no worries, OK?

Remember this day, February 13th 2008, 8:34PM Eastern: http://youtube.com/

Also, we’re officially the first to report on this
Digg the story here:

Update: Now that was "short" lasting. 8:55pm Eastern and it’s back on line. Measly 21 minute of downtime, and all this for what? All I can see is a new logo - which nicely coincides with the Valentines day tomorrow
Happy V-Day Everyone!

Here is some news for all you Starbucks lovers. Starbucks will be closed on Tuesday, February 26th for three hours. Apparently it is to re-train their coffee making machines on how to make a better drink for you. Luckily for some early morning birds it will be closed from 5:30pm - 8:30pm.
Gotcha with the title, eh?

Last two posts were not too happy, here’s something to cheer us all up and something you need to know (if you’re ever on a Cash Cab I guess)

This just proves how one idiot police officer smudges a name of a dozen good ones out there. What happened to those times when people were actually trying to be good to each other before anything else, and what’s with all these people on a power trip?
