Bah, I can't take it anymore

So yes, I have been watching the RNC. Why, I am not sure. But definitely a bad idea.

I was cranky all day because I listened to damn Sarah Palin. This clip from the Daily Show made me feel better.

'Large Land Mass to the South' (Onion News)

Hey y'all,

Okay, so I've been out of touch for a while. But I saw this little gem on the Onion News website and thought of you guys:

Hope all is well,

Tube Mogul

Recently I came across a great resource online called TubeMogul. Located at http://www.tubemogul.com, this web service allows you to upload a video once, and have it be 'launched' simultaneously and automatically on a multitude of video-sharing sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, MySpace (ugh), and more. Anyone who has wrestled with all the effort it takes to distribute their video work to all the social networking sites out there will appreciate this tool. Tube Mogul also allows you to track views and other statistics about your uploaded videos on all these sites.

Telling the Story of War Tax Resistance

I'm in perhaps the most exciting yet frustrating stage in my work on the documentary about war tax resistance that I'm making. I'm basically trying to make sense of all the footage and figure out how to present it in a compelling way - the big question is: what is the story? I've been struggling with this for about 4 years, ever since I started thinking about the challenges of making a film about this subject - Put another way, how do I tell the story of war tax resistance in a way that's interesting and exciting?

2012

At the Tucson Roller Derby 2 weeks ago this band, Vanish Twin, played at halftime. They totally rawked and were pretty fun to film. I particularly like this song, about 2012, the year the world is supposed to end according to the Mayan cosmology.

"That will be the day, that the world gets blown away!!"

i especially like the concept of 2012 because the DAY on which the world ends in the Mayan calendar is my birthday, December 23. yay! I will be 44, and the world will be about 5000, or 6000, or 4 billion, depending on who you ask.

I am voting Republican because.....

I saw this video that was made by "SyntheticHuman Pictures is a Phoenix, Arizona based group of filmmakers, dedicated to creating content that inspires imagination and evokes emotion". I really like it, but it also made me think that since this is an election year that maybe we should come up with some videos along the lines of this one. It could be a chance to practice your skills or gain new ones and it could be fun! Oh wait, that's F.U.n???

Trailer #2 for War Tax Resistance Doc

wtrTrailer 2-MPEG-4 800Kbps.mp4

This is a snazzy new trailer for the film on war tax resistance that Pan Left is producing for the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. It features a performance by Antibalas, a Brooklyn-based band with at least one war tax resisting member. More of their music will form the majority of the soundtrack of the film. The footage of the band was shot by one-time Pan Left member Salvador, who now lives in New York.

Editing of the film will proceed throughout the summer and hopefully finish up in September.
