That's no "Alaska Dude" ... it's Mr. Safety - the Mean Kitty's dad freshly transplanted from SoCal.

Who fricken does that!? So backwards.
Tressy Capps was later fired from her employer (Codwell Banker a Realtor) stemming from this video. She is also running for City Council.

Damn, didn't know so many sifters were from SoCal.

Santa Monica denizen here!

I don't think so - but it really fubared a lot of sites. Seems like a bigger impact than Y2K. >> ^ant:

Works great from here in Oz. But it's a CDN ... So that means nothing. Is it Ok now? I know you're in SoCal - so you and @lucky760 should be on the same node.

Hmm, it seems OK. Wait, is this CDN using Amazon too that other web sites are having problems with like Reddit, Yuku, etc.?


Ah. I hope they don't have a leap minute bug like Reddit is having right now: https://twitter.com/redditstatus/status/219244389044731904 ...

But there's evidence of us both in the same room - unless it's some Fight Club kind of thing. http://videosift.com/talk/SoCal-LA-OC-SiftUp-July-2011

In the first few weeks of VideoSift, back in February of 2006. I will admit that we made a few test accounts, but less than 5 in total I think. Since then - we've been clean.

It's a big difference between VideoSift and other communities. We care about dupes of videos and people. Sites like Reddit and Digg don't. Different strokes. We modelled our culture after a site like Metafilter.

So how many of our top users are really just Dag?
And does Lucky really exist?

Ya know I was a kid when the riots broke out and I had to miss a Birthday party because we were too scared in our homes of the riots in SoCal. I've heard everything about Rodney King my whole life, people telling me this and that, making jokes about it news articles and such. I read a BBC article on the day he died and they said that as a result of the beatings he suffered brain damage. No News Channel or article I've ever read has ever mentioned that, almost like they were trying to sow distrust of this guy who's whining about the cops beating him.

I even compared the BBC article with the Associated Press article, no mention of brain damage just a graphic description of the beating. I guess they don't understand that a stupid racist decision can have long term effects.

This isn't terribly uncommon. The Sea Lions around Dana Point in SoCal were like big annoying dogs... not really aggressive, but all too willing to use your boat for a rest spot and look for food.
