Okay- I got the go-ahead from brain.

I'll go create the channel for you now. Then you can modify the details as you wish.

What makes you think it's old SP? The brain account has been around since 2006. Is it possible he switched personalities on us back then?

I was just kidding. Brain was Snake's old "buddy" in the movie - the guy with the map of the 69th st. bridge.

heh, no I don't play - I just love the sound of horns.

Wow, lots of trombone vids in your PQ. You play 'bone? (I do!) You might also like: http://www.videosift.com/video/How-its-made-Trombones

Well, it really is the most logical choice for the channel. mindbrain.videosift.com is cumbersome at best, and mind.videosift.com, besides being somewhat vague, isn't really appropriate, since the channel is really devoted more towards brain science than psychology or philosophy of mind. Perhaps the user would be willing to use "thebrain" if he or she ever goes charter?

On a side note, I wonder if that user is a reincarnation of SnakePlissken?

It's another member's username. Usernames are reserved by default in case they ever go charter and want their nick for their subdomain.

Can you come up with an alternative? If you absolutely must have brain, let me know and if user brain doesn't intend to ever go charter or doesn't care to not have the subdomain, I can make it work for you.

Thanks for the info. One problem though - it says my chosen subdomain name, "brain", is reserved or already used. But when I navigate to brain.videosift.com, I get a 404. Is siftbot reserving that domain for his future consciousness?

The only thing that can't be changed is the subdomain name. Everything else can be adjusted at will.

You can put anything in the sidebar that is not "harmful." For example, you could add a video (scaled down to fit), an image, some simple text, a meebo chat embed, etc.

Invocation is the only method to add videos.

So, I'm getting ready to create a channel. I decided on "Mind & Brain". I have a few questions, though, before I submit the form.

Can I change the description after creation?

What sort of things can I put in the sidebar panel, and can I change that after creation?

Is there any easy way to add videos to the channel besides the manual invocation on each appropriate video that I find?

Saturday morning just before we were chatting. We were focusing on #50 though.
Busy times - three diamonds in less than week, and a few more coming soon, I think.

Diamond? Woot! When did that happen?

Well, the talk was given in feb 2003 - the Human Genome Project had only just finished the "complete" map of human dna. Also, I think the main thrust of the talk was about reprogramming. It seems epigenetics would be only tangentially relevant as a modulator of code, not the code itself. But I don't really know that much about it. Anyway, hope you liked it.

Has some good lines at 10min.

What about epigenetics? Its 2008, not 1998; its weird to talk about the importance of genetics and barely mention the next level of complication.

ya think?

You're supposed to be in KC in 3 hours or so, and you're dickin' around on VS? Why haven't you swallowed a handful of mushrooms to guarantee your ineligibility?!!?

Good luck today - hope you get to go to Hawaii.

$50 says it's choggie again.

Nice post - don't forget to vote for your own video (and any others you find that you like)!

bug?

You've bookmarked it and playlisted it, so all that's left to do is vote for it.

[edit] thanks dude!

Well, the url is below. But I was wrong - it's not the 'intitle' directive that wasn't working. It was the use of quotes to form an exact phrase, namely "VideoSift 3.0". It returned anything with "VideoSift" in the title. Don't know if that's technically a bug, but it's not working as advertised.

What is the url of your query? It seems to work for me:

When searching for talk posts, "intitle:XXX" does not work at all. Is that by design? (Is this worthy of a sift talk post itself?)
