I did a quick survey overnight of the YouTube videos that I have posted here, but not actually downloaded to my hard disk.
Turns out about a third or so have been removed from YouTube for one reason or another.
As for the others...on several of them I don't feel any urgency to get them, or think perhaps I should obtain the content in another form. It's not that they aren't awesome and I don't want them. I suppose that I would rather think in the now and the future than have to muck around with the past--even the very recent past.
Applying actual psychology to my normal research addiction/pack-rat tendencies is kind of pretentious, isn't it?

License To (Key) Drive
Jul. 10th, 2009 08:34 pmFor once, an impulse purchase with no rumination required! In this weekend's Wal*Mart circular, front page, front and center--$12 SanDisk Cruzer key drives! Mum and I got one each this evening and I'm trying out the possibilities.
I bet I'm probably the last person here to use a key drive. Still, while I know I'll have immediate uses for the thing...I also notice that my music collection files, my YouTube video files, and my picture files in each block are all already too large to fit on the 4 Gig version. So now I know what I want for birthday/Xmas/Year's End. More. Bigger. FLASHIER.
As for Mum...well...her computer is still running Win98 and so needs to be upgraded before she can use hers. But this is another sign that she'll want to take the plunge.
