“Hitler Reacts to the Hitler Parodies Being Removed From YouTube” Is Now Public Domain

If you go watch my Hitler video on YouTube, you will now see an annotation stating that I have waived all copyright to it, with the help of Creative CommonsCC0 language. It is now in the public domain.

That doesn’t mean anyone can just go around claiming ownership of it though. It means that nobody owns it. It belongs to everybody now. Go do whatever you want with it. I’d appreciate it if you give me credit for it, but that’s by no means required.

Anyway, to make this absolutely, positively clear:

CC0
To the extent possible under law, Zacqary Adam Green has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to Hitler reacts to the Hitler parodies being removed from YouTube. This work is published from the United States.

There. Enjoy your gift, world. Merry Kwanzaa or whatever.

Subtitling on YouTube — Now Deaf People Can Giggle At My Videos Too

YouTube still doesn’t have nearly the audiovisual quality and presentation of Vimeo, but I gotta hand it to them for providing some fairly awesome features.

I know they’ve had closed-captioning and subtitling features for a while, but I never bothered to try it out until now. I suppose if I don’t do the subtitling now, it’ll soon be done for me by Google’s speech recognition robots, and done very badly.

So here’s “Let’s Meet the Lerners” with full closed-captioning. Click the arrow in the control-bar-thingy, then the “CC” button to turn it on. And if anyone reading this is fluent in another language and wants to translate it, download this .srt file, open it in Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac OS X (if you’re savvy enough to use Linux, I probably don’t need to tell you what your text editor is called), and rewrite all of the texty things while leaving the numbers intact. Then send it to me, of course.

Your Face Is Still a Saxophone, But Not Until April

So it seems Your Face is a Saxophone is taking me a lot longer than I originally anticipated.

There have been a great deal of technical issues preventing me from working as quickly as I’d thought I would be able to. These issues, however, are in no way insurmountable, just really, really annoying. Expect to know more in March, and see the final product in April.

For now, here’s a still image of something or other happening:

Just In Case I Hadn’t Made Myself Clear, Your Face is a Saxophone

I suppose this isn’t much clearer, but here it is three more times just for the hell of it:
