One of my friends, Jeff McCord recently wrote a post on his blog about the nastiness of comments on YouTube. I keep hearing the same thing about Digg.com users too. The Web is very much an extension of who we are as people and it’s really sad when we forget that. I think I’m guilty too. The episode where I made fun of Gary Krakow for saying Steve Jobs should “put the BlackBerry on the iPhone” was a perfect example of me not thinking about Krakow as a fellow human being. Even though I thought (and lots of bloggers thought) what Gary said was crazy, my goal is not to be mean to anyone anytime.

Geoff Smith might be well known for his “can’t get them outta my head” jingles, but he’s a brilliant musician who records real music that I love. Jonathan Davis is a student filmmaker who interned for us last Christmas. This Summer, Jonathan is interning for one of the top music video producers in the world. Neal thought it would be cool to introduce Jonathan to Geoff on the off chance that Jonathan could help Geoff do a little music video. Jonathan didn’t just help Geoff do a little music video. Jonathan and Geoff produced an amazing music video based on Geoff’s song Ones and 0s.

Ones and 0s is about how nasty comments on a blog post can really hurt a person. I loved the song from the first time I heard it. I hope you like the song and the premiere of the video. We’re honored that Geoff and Jonathan are letting us release it first. If you have a blog or a Web site and you like the song and the video, please consider embedding it. This version is just the video without me introducing it. I love the idea of confronting mean, inappropriate comments with music.

There’s also an Apple TV optimized version in my Junk Trunk at junktrunk.mevio.com

Geoff and Jonathan will join me live on Ustream.TV Wednesday night at 6 PM PDT. I want to deconstruct the making of the video with them. If you have questions about how the video was made, join us!

It’s been a long drive. I’m going to sleep and I’ll be back with tech news in about 24 hours.

    Okay, that was amazing. Tonight’s planned post on GadgetyTech.com is getting pushed off and this is going up instead. I’d love to see this get the same kind of wide circulation that “Digg the Code” did. Nice to hear what Jonathan’s been up to since last December, as well. Incredible job, Geoff and Jonathan! Thanks for giving it a memorable premiere, Cali and Neal!

  2. Rick Yaeger Says:

    Wow!

    Great work Jonathan and Geoff. The video really brings the song to another level.

    Thanks Cali for sharing this with us. Awesome song…and so true.

  3. Manoa Says:

    Great song and video. Excellent message too.
    I have been living part of my life online for years now, since the days of bulletin boards, and pipeline text browsers, and since day one, the meaness that comes with a little “distance” and especially anonymity is amazing. Lots of people with pent up hostility given a place to express it– it is a fact that some people love social networking because it lets them unleash this hostility and meaness, they get off on reactions of nice folks (the vast majority of us). Nothing wrong with tough criticism, but everything wrong with meaness and way out of line ridicule.

  4. Jonathan Davis Says:

    Thanks so much everyone–this is a little overwhelming but the response is Amazing. I’m totally stoked Cali and Neal premiered this for Geoff and I. I hope to work with him again in the future–everywhere I play the song (with or without the video) everyone always comments–”Wow, I love that guys voice.”

  5. Randy Says:

    This new production showcases the talent Geoff Smith is blessed with. If you have not yet seen “Hello Hello” or “Digg the Code” by Geoff Smith, then you should take the time.

    Decades from now, this will be looked back upon as the music of web 2.0 generation.

    THANKS GEOFF!!

  6. Daniel Says:

    Wow! I bought the digital album of Ones and 0s and already liked the song but the video goes to the heart!
    Geoff has made me smile with Hello, Hello and Digg the Code (you guys look like you had to much fun doing that one) and the fire place screensaver last Christmas really brought my family warm holiday feelings…. this video just matched all of these!
    Thank you for sharing this Cali, I truly enjoyed this and I’m going to twitter Geoff and tell so too!

  7. Henrique Says:

    Hi, I am a GeekBrief subscriber for a really long time, and I absolutely love the work of Cali and Neil.
    I pretty much agree with you guys most of the time, that’s why I really didn’t understand the choice for this brief.

    Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the video. Very well done, I enjoyed it, but the song just seemed to me like a poor attempt to create an ‘internet ballad’, and I don’t see how is that more relevant than giving us some great daily Cali news.

    I know that every now and then you have special shows that are about an specific subject, or showing a video, but I’m just leaving my opinion here about this GeekBrief 401 that disappointed me.

    And please don’t take this as an example of a “nasty comment”, just my opinion.

    Thank you

    This is a great message, especially for our young people. I teach computer to grades K-8. In the upper grades, I teach a unit on online safety and discuss online communities in grades 7-8. I plan to use this in my lessons. Thanks, Geoff, Jason and Cali. You rock!!

  10. Robert Bigelow Says:

    I remember hearing someone mention the World Wide Web as “… a last haven for scoundrels.” and behavior-wise there seems to be some truth in that. I tend to avoid web boards and discussions (except for this one) because of all the mean-spiritedness and I found myself stepping into that puddle when someone posted a personal attack against Cali and I replied to the commenter as to whether or not someone had ruined his breakfast that morning.

    I’d like to think that my comment might have gotten a giggle or two, but that doesn’t make it any less inappropriate and I still owe an apology for posting it.

    ^..^~

  11. John Congdon Says:

    WOW!

    What a powerful song and great camera work.

    Geoff is such a talented musician, and I like seeing all of his work in this social networking “industry”.

    On a separate note:
    I love the show like so many people. I was wondering what your take on comments are? I mean, with your viewership you should have tons of comments, but I believe that with all of the pod catchers (iTunes, etc) out there, people don’t have the quick ability to comment.

    I posted about this feature on my blog, and would like to see if we could get iTunes to incorporate this feature.

    I think Gary Krakow had some vision by sayong that Apple has to “bite the bullet”. Apple clearly wants to get into RIM’s market share of business phones, especially with the Microsoft Exchange compatibility. When people say things like Steve Jobs needs to put Blackberry on the iPhone, you should step back and understand the general meaning, and not necessarily take it literally.

  13. Keith Robinson Says:

    I remember a couple of months back you tweeted about this guy.

    I went to watch him live and was blown away how he would play all these songs on call with no prep.

    I just bought his mp3 album on CDbaby. I love the fact that this guy gets the fact that music should be DRM free.

    It was 10$ definately well spent. thanks for introducing me to him. And for anyone who hasn’t gotten this album DO SO!! lol

  14. John P. Says:

    Jonathan is going to need to shoot my new rap video featuring me, Big Daddy P, and the Poetic Prophet (aka SEO Rapper).

    Word.

    John
