Last night I had the pleasure of volunteering at the rockCANroll table at the Rat Dog concert at Westbury Music Fair (a/k/a CapitalOne theater) and was happy to collect nearly 200 food items and just under $300…thanks boys & girls…it’s all going to help feed our fellow long islanders!!
Bob Weir also signed some rockCANroll tote bags…thanks Bob!!

A webisode is an episode of a television show that airs initially as an Internet download or stream as opposed to first airing on broadcast or cable television. The word itself is a portmanteau formed by the words 'web' and 'episode'.
A webisode is simply a web episode – collectively it is part of a web series, a form of new media that characteristically features a dramatic, serial storyline, where the primary method of viewership is streaming online over the Internet. Where there is no "set" standard for length, most webisodes are relatively short, ranging from 4-15 minutes in length.
Now that you know what a webisode is - keep in mind that there is A LOT of them out there and more and more are being created and published each day! With all that clutter and bad content and quality of production that exists - how does one get thru all the clutter and crap and find only the best webisodes? Enter TheWebisodes.com...check out there site, I KNOW you will laugh and find some good humor (no not ice cream).
Enjoy........
