Krumbination is off to a great start!  Along with all the fresh and imaginative material that people have been posting (there's already over 200 photographs!), we've also been producing our own web show called "Webcams".  It's a revival of the Talking Heads show, so it's probably familiar to most of you.  Watch the video again and check out the comments here.

For more episodes of Webcams and to see what all the fuss is about, hop on over to krumbination.ning.com.

1) The SEXKITTENS finale had to be reworked due to budget constraints, but it's still a fitting end to the series.  All 18 episodes are officially up on my youtube page, so check them out or wait for me to post the series playlist here.


2) The Beanie Boy Show is not gone .... I just didn't want it to steal any of Sexkittens thunder.  And, well, I fell behind on my editing.  With Sexkittens complete, we'll get back to Beanie Boy's Monday schedule.


3) Horbawrong Studios begins production of it's next show, Misery Loves Company, in a few days.  I've written and produced an original theme for the show and I've been working towards composing a bit of original music for each episode.  For everyone who enjoyed all the ladies in Sexkittens, celebrate--Misery Loves Company stars Sam, Sharilynn, Falynne, and Heidi.


4) Last--but certainly not least--I've went ahead and created my own social network.  As ridiculous as that sounds (you know, because I'm pretty much opposed to anything 'social-networky') the dry run has been a pretty decent success.  It's called Krumbination and anyone who has a creative bone in their body is encouraged to join.  After the break, you can read about what the guiding principles of Krumbination are.  Additionally, with this community-driven creative, er, community, I've decided to take this opportunity to relaunch the Talking Heads webcam show.  Except it's not called Talking Heads anymore and it's driven solely by members of Krumbination.  So if you want to get in on the fun, you know where to go:
KRUMBINATION: Powered by YOU.

WHO: Creative minds seeking an inventive and collaborative environment to publish their media.

WHAT: A launching point for fresh, creative talent

WHY: Going solo, it's getting harder and harder for unknowns to reach an audience. As places like YouTube get larger and larger, less and less resources are being devoted to lesser-known variables.

HOW: krumbination will be a weekly web-based publication/show that will be driven by user-submitted content ranging from web shows to short stories to photographs and comics. The goal will be to reinforce what a community-driven project can look like.

Add your content now in one of the following categories:
Videos (a short or internet/webshows--NO VLOGS ALLOWED!), Short stories or articles (posted under your blog), Photos (or images/comics), Music.

Stay creative!
]]><![CDATA[The Big Wrap-Up (and screw you, YouTube!)]]>Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:04:34 -0500http://www.horbawrong.com/1/post/2010/02/the-big-wrap-up-and-screw-you-youtube.htmlMy friends, it's been a fun run.  We've had our highs and we've had our lows, but even at our worst, it's been nothing but the best.  And as cliché as it is, all good things really must come to an end.  

Which is exactly what will be happening to SEXKITTENS in the next few weeks.  

What, did you think I was talking about something else?

We've got two more episodes in the can and ready to post before our finale.  And while we officially started taping the big final episode last night, it will probably take another two or three weekends before we'll be able to wrap shooting.

Did I mention that our final episode will be a full 20 some-odd minutes long?  Yes, we're going full, half-hour format for the big finish and it will likely be too big for YouTube (although I might split up into parts).  But I'm okay with it being too big for YouTube because--one--that was the plan all along and--two--YouTube is kinda being a little shit-tard lately, dontcha think?

Have you noticed how YouTube seems to allocate the lions share of their bandwidth to the big-time videos?  If you have no idea what I'm talking about, try playing a video from a friend--anybody, really, who doesn't bank thousands of views in a day.  Even for a short video (a minute and a half??) you pretty much have to walk away to let it load and then watch it later.

I'm sorry, but that sucks and it's pretty much a dick thing for YouTube to be doing.  Even on low-quality, videos take too long to load.  Is it just me?  I don't think so.  So, yeah, I'm a little disenfranchised when it comes to YouTube right now, so I'm not all that disappointed to phase it out as a primary distribution platform.  The simple fact of the matter is that what I require of YouTube is streaming video--if they can't handle it, I've got about five other options that can, and can do it better than YouTube.

So that's where I'm at.  We've got two new episodes of SEXKITTENS for this Wednesday and the following and then there'll be a short break until we can get the finale finished.  In the meantime, we'll have Beanie Boy on Monday's and I'll be working up some previews for you guys shortly.

ALSO:  once we finish production on SEXKITTENS, my group is ramping up for a new show called MISERY LOVES COMPANY.  This show will have a 10 episode run, and all the scripts are written (and they are GOOOOOOD!).  We're all pretty excited about this show, so hopefully we can get some previews to you soon.

Stay tuned and stay creative!]]><![CDATA[SEXKITTENS -- The Unintended Co-Host (15)]]>Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:11:16 -0500http://www.horbawrong.com/1/post/2010/02/sexkittens-the-unintended-co-host-15.html

]]><![CDATA[The Novanine Postulate]]>Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:46:11 -0500http://www.horbawrong.com/1/post/2010/01/the-novanine-postulate.html
Is it too late to make a New Year's resolution?  No?  Good, cause I've got a good one here.

I hereby resolve to be more active on YouTube.

And this doesn't mean I'm going to start pumping out video after video and vlog after vlog.  I've been there, done that, and don't care for it too much.  I don't think you care for it either.  But what I do need to do is be more attentive and, thanks to a reminder of a precedent set by one of my favorite youtubers (of which this post is named after) it finally dawned on me what I needed to commit to.

Now, I fully understand if most of you probably already do this.  And if you don't, please consider this an invitation to join me in my endeavors.

Novanine, when he was on YouTube regularly (and NOT moonlighting as a dinosaur fetishist) was incredibly active and constantly engaging in conversations in the comments of videos.  This is where the Novanine Postulate is born from:

I want to have a more active presence on youtube, and you need as much activity in your comments as possible.  Therefore, my goal is to respond and engage in as many conversations as I can, whenever I have the time to.  Hopefully, some of you might have already noticed this.

Again, there is nothing earth-shatteringly brilliant about this idea and I believe that many of you already do it.  For me, I tend to be on-again off-again in my consistency with this and since this a new year, it's a good time to rededicate myself to the cause.

Here's a (working) list of the 'tubers I'm focusing my attention on.  It's in no particular order and if I'm missing someone, let me know:

Obsquatch
Middlebrook
Benzone50
TheHairyGeek
Walker
misspacman08
depointless
NeoBards
RBC
TheMcSpazatron
AngloBaptist
Jenzatron
Zed2Six
