What’s Up

Quick list of what’s been up for the last two months:
Working for Outhink on SpinXpress 2.0. SpinXpress is cool software for moving files around - makes collaboration via the Internet much easier. Ryanne and I used it with our Freevlog translators and now I’m using it with Alive In Baghdad. Another cool thing about working with Outhink is they like to help support good videoblogging projects (FreevlogNODE101VloggerconOurmedia) and so part of my time working for them is to work on Alive in Baghdad - editing and working on distributed production workflows

I redid the Alive in Baghdad website and I’ve been editing the videos. Check out two that I think are really powerful: On Patrol with Iraqi Neighborhood WatchInsecurity Breeds Sectarianism in Adhamiya

I also did a bunch of editing for Amanda Across AmericaChuck Olsen did a bunch too). Here are a couple of my favorite ones I worked on: Andy CarvinCraig Newmark, & Glenn Reynolds

And now I’m in San Francisco. I got here on Saturday for the Vloggies which turned out to be a lot of fun. Alive in Baghdad cleaned up with like 57 (or maybe 7) awards and a check for $2000 from Intel. There was a cool party afterwards and I got to hang out with lots and lots of vloggers. It was like a mini Vloggercon reunion.

Okay, that’s enough. More videos coming (for real - they’re compressing now) soon.
