Happy Year of the Cow Skull

I'm gonna be out of touch until Jan 6, visiting Mikey Sklar and Wendy Tremayne in the hotsprings mecca, Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Cow skulls seem like the predominant motif here, and I'm not complaining. May you have a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year full of many cow skulls. This is being posted from Coffee T or C, the bubbling hub of this burg's caffeinated chaos.

My site is eating your comments

Don't know why, but comments people are making aren't showing up. I even tried commenting myself---no dice. Anyway, I'm workin' on it. Sorry for the pain this must be causing you.

Ryan Hodson and Jay Dedman to license videos on sustainable culture to Podtech

Two of my favorite vloggers, Ryan Hodson and Jay Dedman, just announced that they are going to be creating twice a week videos on the topic of sustainable culture (ya know, biodiesel, all that stuff) for Podtech. Here's what they've got to say about the deal (along with a few words by Michael Verdi. Their angst about getting paid to vlog is kinda sweet.

Muscle Hatch

I was strolling the streets of Back Bay Boston with Boston rock god Dave Alpert when we got to talking about the disturbingly steroidal muscle hatchbacks littering the streets.

Secretary Vlog

An indie film maker friend of mine just started a secretary vlog where she puts up a daily video from her job as a grad school secretary. Good voyeuristic fun. Check it at gina, aka the graduate secretary.

Tired of the same old oatmeal? Throw in some sardines, olives, and capers and you've got a lovely Mediterranean porridge.

It's a celebration of democracy, Jonny Goldstein style. This is the first in what will be a series of photos of DC landmarks with my proud, patriotic, proboscis in the pic.

DC Media Makers 1st Meeting

Watch the video
This was our first DC Media Makers meeting, held at Biddy Mulligan's at Dupont Circle. Andy Carvin brought Ben and Mel, and Carl Weaver, Vincent Njoroge, Jill Foster, and Jonny Goldstein brought ourselves. The lighting was so horrible I threw the mirror effect on it, just to enhance the confusion. We'll be doing more of these. Stay tuned.

Ed Tyler's Blind Spot mentioned in the Washington Post

A friend of my wife and mine , the Choreographer Ed Tyler, just had his last work, Blind Spot,reviewed in the Washington Post. Ed had bipolar disorder and in the midst of one of his many down periods ended his own life, just a few weeks ago. I'm wearing one of Ed's sweaters as I type this out. It's a stylish, colorful, comfy piece of clothing that reminds me of the guy it used to belong to, a guy who had a very full and eventful life, who we wish was still here.

Living with Geeks: Jonathan's Throbbing Boil

Jill Foster interviewed my wife and me a couple of days ago for her documentary Living With Geeks. Somehow the topic meandered to the internet radio show I used to produce and host back in the good ol' days, which was known as "Jonathan's Throbbing Boil, "or to the cognoscenti, simply "The Boil." For more detail, check out the video above.

The documentary, which explores what it's like to live with a geek for a non-geeky partner is humming along as Jill interviews such geekerati as as Robert and Maryam Scoble. I recommended she try to score some footage of my friends Mikey Sklar and Wendy Tremayne. Actually, I think my wife is as geeky as I am, but in different ways.
