StrongBad in my Video Aggregator

We
have just discovered, thanks to Jay
McCarthy
, StrongBad,
a hero of mythic proportions. How we ever got along without him we’ll
never know! Actually, he is one of a number of histerical characters,
games and videos over at homestarrunner.com.

The Dowbrigade is definitely putting StongBad, created by the Chaps
Brothers, into our Video Aggregator, which we are thinking of programming
to collect an hour of animation and an hour of video-blog news every
night, and hold them for viewing on the 48-inch Plasma Screen when ever
we have a break in our busy day. 

The video aggregator will get snippets, stories and animations as enclosures
in some future version of RSS, and will be assembled into a sort of newsreel
with titles and links created from fields in the feeds we subscribe to.
It will end up in our TiVo or whatever digital video content manager
manages our viewing habits. To be seen whenever.

Once
the content is available, of course.  And
once we have created a video aggregator which can collect content over
the net and pipe it to our TV.  And once we get a Jumbotron Plasma
Screen. Yeah, right.  We’ll get plasma in a baggie before we get
it in a screen.  The rest of the stuff, though, could happen soon…..

    A google search yields a handy Homestar RSS feed:

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t pre-download the video, but if you have a fast net connection it’s a great way to get the latest news from Strongbadia.
