YouTube account types

I know I am late to sign up for YouTube, but I did not see the point in doing so until our BA channel BScE.TV was launched recently. As I want to be kept up-to-date about new additions, I thought now was the time to go the extra mile and sign up for an account.

The first thing when signing up for a YouTube account is to choose your account type. I can pretty much understand “Standard”, “Director”, “Musician”, and “Comedian”, but why is there a category for “Guru”? Is it the equivalent to “Spiritual Leader”?

In the end I did not have to ponder existential questions about the type of category I belong to because I realized before finalizing the account creation that I could also log on with my Google account. Lucky me. One password less to remember.

Goooooooooooooood Morning

When I think of “Good Morning”, I usually imagine sunny, warm weather with a blue sky, just a slight breeze of wind, enough to keep the day from getting to hot. It does not have to be a lazy weekend day, but a regular weekday will do as well because works seems to be done more quickly for me when there is nice weather.

However, I never imagined being greeted with “Good Morning” by my email program in the middle of the night as you can see in the screenshot below. Who would imagine to say “Good Morning” when it was shortly after midnight? Granted, the new day had begun 10 minutes prior to me seeing the message, but still, I would have preferred a friendly “Good Night” rather than a pitch black “Good Morning” when I was about to go to bed and not to wake up. Standardized messages cannot take every situation in account. *sigh*


translation:
Good Morning, Kristina.
