75,000 views of fame
You work hard and set big aims of contributing something to the world - and then you get your 75,000 (210.000 now!) views of fame as the guy who demonstrates how to open a bottle of beer with a bottle of beer for Make. Something everyone knows how to do in a beer-drinking culture, something truly pervasive globally (as some of the hundreds of commenters around the web also have stated).
Good to know that your contribution to society at least will be that a beer-drinker or two will have learned an easy way to open their beer (tip: it really is easy and and takes 2-3 seconds and not as long in the video where the joke was an make/instructables like instruction video).
And interesting that you can sit in Helsinki and open a beer or two, someone pulls up a cameraphone and a couple of days later 75,000 people globally have seen it - interesting times…

Well, people who knew my skills at opening beer bottles with a bottle in my teens will be laughing their xxx off…

… Thomas, thanks for the insight; well I’ve actually learned this trick the hard way when I did my military service long, long ago …
However going back to the blogosphere I know this struggle for “the” best posting ever and … my most popular posting has been written late on a Friday around 01:00 in the night triggered by the thought that I have at least write one posting this week … I’m still not sure what to learn from this?!

Well I still can’t do it - so I figure I will have to learn it now - watching the video again and again
Could you do one on how to open a closed mind with another closed mind (probably one of the minds will have to be open in order for that to work out?)
