Report Abuse?

From the always insightful Mark H.

The best way to "Report Abuse" on Austin Craig's page is to vote for him...thereby indicating to Logitech that you want the abuse to stop. Consider yourself a good Samaritan.


TV Torturer, WHERE have you BEEN?!


We'll be back soon, I PROMISE.

Gettin' in good with the Boss.



I feel pretty good about that.

Broken Links

Just realized that several of the links on my YouTube videos have been broken for a while.

Well... don't I feel sheepish. What an idiot. Reminds me of a talk show I saw once.



They're fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.

The Top YouTuber in Switzerland

So, I had a thought. While you're voting for me, stop over and vote for GoogleSuperstar too.

He and I are friends up there at the top. As we're not competing for the same loft, we're buddies.

Is he weird? Yes. Yes he is. Do I want him to win the NY loft? Yes. Yes I do.

VOTE FOR HIM HERE! And look at this video title ↓ .



TV Torture. Day 5.

TV Clemency and Why I'm Perfect for Logitech

TV Clemency... for now.

I'll hold off on killing a TV for ONE MORE DAY. Then, I'm catching up in a hurry. Unless my simple requirement is met (becoming the Logitech Host with the Most) I'll kill THREE HELPLESS TVs TOMORROW, Monday the 2nd of August.

In other news, WHO could POSSIBLY be BETTER for this JOB than ME?

Remember when Rocketboom interviewed ME about the future of YouTube? I do.

(HINT: I'm the guy in the labcoat and goggles. My sound bites start at 0:59 and 1:32)


Molly and Rocketboom.

This was at VidCon 2010, the first annual gathering of the biggest YouTubers, fans, and emerging industry folk. It... was... AWESOME. I had a blast, learned a ton, and met some of the biggest and brightest in the YouTube world, including iJustine, Hank Green, Michael Buckley, the amazing guys from RootBerry, just to name a few! RootBerry isn't HUGE yet, but mark my words, they will be, because THEY ARE SO RAD. Seriously, check them out. All these folks will for sure get an invite to the Logitech Loft if I make it there.

Ah, the perks of being The Orabrush Guy. It really was great being there.

Anyway, my question is, where were the other people who are gunnin' for the LA loft? I mean, this was IN LA! I'm in the THICK of it, this social media business is in my BLOOD.

Figuratively speaking.

The point is, I'm in it eyeball deep. I'm the best for the job. The end.

Intro to Logitech Revue with Google TV

It's a busy life, being a TV hostage taker. I didn't kill a TV today. An old CRT will live to fight another day. Hope you're happy.

Some of you may feel bad for these TVs, but I don't think you should. They don't have Logitech Revue with Google TV. What good are they?

Wait, you haven't heard of Logitech Revue with Google TV? Really?

Well... I guess we can't all be bleeding edge technophiles.

For your quick education on the matter, here are a couple intro videos.





What does TV do when no one's watching?

No, he's not committing suicide. He's taking a dip while nobody else is around. It's summer, it get's hot.



Better be careful, though. Accidents are known to happen.

Intro to the LA Pad

Some of you may think me cruel, brutally beating TVs this way. Maybe I am. But you might understand a little more, though, if you see the apartment I might get for this barbarous behavior.

Just look at it. Awesome.

TV Torture. Day 1.



I AM the Host with the Most

Logitech is looking for three hosts to throw parties in swanky apartments in LA, San Francisco, or New York. They list a specific set of qualifications.

After reading the qualifications, I'm convinced that I am the best person for this job.

Logitech will be screening applicants based on the following skills to help Logitech introduce Logitech Revue with Google TV™: (1) the ability to coordinate and host multiple media events; (2) the ability to create and update audio, text and/or video for blog and social media posts; (3) active user of prominent social media networking platforms and tools (such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube); (4) strong interest in technology with high enthusiasm for innovative and new consumer electronics; and (5) not required, but a plus to have a background in event planning, social media, marketing, public relations, communications or journalism. Logitech may also consider social networking participation, including size of social contacts and quality of social connections and/or engagements.

I'm perfect for this. Really, exceptionally, uniquely perfect.

I want this gig more than I've wanted anything in a long time. It's all I think about. I'm so right for this.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. To ensure that I get this gig, I'm taking hostages. Until I'm named the Logitech Host with the Most, I'll take hostage old, fat, helpless TVs. They don't have Logitech Revue with Google TV. What good are they?

If you don't want TV blood on your hands, then I need the ransom. Make me the Logitech Host with the Most, and these TVs can live out their old age in peace.
