I think it’s funny that Google thinks putting an ad in when someone is most engaged with a video will be an effective advertising technique. So someone’s going to be absorbed in the video, be presented with an ad while engaging with it and be happy that they were interrupted to be served an ad? Sounds like a great formula for pissing off your users.

My favorite group, Rose City Band, put out a new record recently, Sol Y Sombra and I’ve been especially enjoying Lights on The Way and Wheels from that album. If you like something that’s psychedelic, groovy, a little funky, and a little country, I can’t recommend Rose City Band enough. Summerland and Earth Trip are also great albums.
