“2/8 Life” from ICN
February 13, 2008
Just got this episode of a new “Quarterlife” parody from good friend Daniel over at the Independent Comedy Network.
If you don’t think the writer’s strike has been good for new media producers, check again. As far as pilots go, I would watch this over … I dunno … “Class of 99″ any day.
If you head over to ICN, check out “Inappropriate Workplace” too. There’s some good humor in that there broadcast.
If you have feedback, leave it on Daniel’s wall over on Facebook.
“F*** Planet Earth”

Here’s something that’s NSFW: a viral video picking up steam on YouTube that reveals what the animals are really saying on the BBC hit documentary series, “Planet Earth.”
Put on those headphones and proceed at your own risk!
In Salt Lake
February 13, 2008
I’ve been AWOL for the last four or five days now, trekking to Tulsa for the funeral of my grandmother, Wanda Peters. I have some more thoughts to share on her passing and will get caught up there soon. In the mean time, thank you for your patience as I dig out from under the pile that has accumulated around me. It’s starting to ferment!
DeVry sponsors Webb Alert, shows big ed has nose for new media after all
February 8, 2008
One of my favorite podcasts is WebbAlert, a technology news show hosted by Morgan Webb, highlighting daily tech news and social media memes. It’s daily, no more than about six minutes per episode, and Webb does a good job of covering the geek news I need with a ripe sarcasm I crave.
For the last few weeks, WebbAlert has had a compelling new sponsor: DeVry University. It’s a perfect match — while I know very little about the place, I know they have technical and gaming programs that fit the market of the show. But more important than that, it shows that the adult education industry is dipping its toes into some more progressive waters.

Here’s a wonderful piece showcasing the purity of art taking place in online media. Think of it as “Johnathan Livingston Seagull: Redux”.

America is ready for an orator again

Senator Barack Obama
Originally uploaded by Stephen Voss
I saw the “Yes We Can” video (in the “Featured Video” box on the front page) for the first time a day or so after it hit the net. Until that point, I had passed on this election cycle’s rhetoric. After eight years of a declining quality of voice in our administration, I found little point in hitching my attention to pundits looking to tackle the center of American low-brow.
The video is a haunting homage to Obama’s New Hampshire concession speech which went largely uncovered by mainstream press. Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.am opens the piece in stark black and white. He’s familiar, but not household. And when he opens his mouth, it’s not his voice that comes out.

Why Lessig is 4obama
February 5, 2008
Watch this video. It’s a presentation cast of Laurence Lessig giving what I believe is one of the best summaries of why we should be considering Obama strongly, particularly those of us who were Edwards supporters, as requested by Lessig supporter. It is not only a great talk, but a wonderful example of effective presentations, by one of today’s master orators.
