Hilarious Obama Victory Vid
This little mashup video celebrating Obama's win is a really great editing job.
And while we're watching that, here's a funny Hillary Clinton mashup based on a YouTube meme:
Scary Facebook
This is a scary little video by Vishal Agarwala about Facebook and all the private information they collect and who they might be giving it to. There's a text article that cites sources of the information in the video.
Of course, ironically, I'm using YouTube, a company with a lot of the same scariness, to embed the video...
sigh.
Potpourri
Several things to blog about, briefly, from today;
First, a famous stunt climber climbed the New York Times building in New York with a banner that said
Greencode
I just discovered a cool site that is all about trying to develop a set of standards for sustainability in the media industry. I often think about how even as i make films about environmental destruction, the very supplies and tools i use to do that involve heavy impacts to the natural world, not to mention probable human rights abuses. So it's cool to see something like Greencode, and media activists should especially get behind it.
Return of the 48 Hour Movie
It's been almost 6 years now since I had my first experiences collaboratively making fiction films really really fast, back in Portland. Wow. Those were the days!
The closest I've come, creatively, to those times was last weekend, when a team of people, mostly from Pan Left Productions, that included myself, took part in a contest here in Tucson called the 48 Hour Film Shootout. It was a lot of fun and the results are something to be proud of. There was some friction and some toes stepped on, but overall it was suprisingly smooth and most everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.
Shut the Hell Up Mister Bush!!!
Here's a totally awesome, bitterly furious rant by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, a personal commentary on Bush's most recent ludicrous bullshit - our idiot commander-in-chief announcing that he gave up golf in honor of our Iraq casualties. This is the angriest intelligent anti-administration thing I've seen on mainstream TV for quite a while, if not ever. Bravo, Olbermann! You rock!!
