These are a few of my favorite things (today, and in 9 seconds)
BuzzFeed 9 Seconds 5/5/09 from BuzzFeed on Vimeo.
BuzzFeed asked me to pick a few of my favorite stories from today and try to recap them in nine seconds! I was a little rushed at the end as the clock started ticking down, but I got it all out. It was fun to edit some video again, it’s been a while since I’ve tinkered with good ol’ iMovie. In case you were wondering, the brief theme song is a snippet of Jonathan Coulton’s “Tom Cruise Crazy” (which is one of my favorite songs of his).
If you haven’t checked out BuzzFeed yet, you should. It’s where I probably spend 90% of my free internet time.

An Interview with Jim Donnelly (from The Internet)
about 8 months ago - 8 comments
Last week on BuzzFeed, a meme popped up about a man named Jim Donnelly. Jim attracted attention for running an advertisement in his local newspaper in New Bedford, MA, in which he asks people to become his friend on Facebook (to learn, among other things, “Useful Information”). The internet, being what it is, reacted to

Revision3 definitely represented big time in this video, can you spot them all? Thanks for the mention, brentalfloss! On a totally unrelated note, I forgot to tell you guys that I blacked out during District 9. As a fear response! It’s not even scary! Can you imagine what would happen to me in a real
Culture of the Apps

It’s no secret that iPhone applications are a breakout hit for Apple, even beyond their own expectations. Because of this, a culture of app fanatics is popping up online, which include a slew of new podcasts and video shows that cater to people looking for the best and brightest apps out there. Frankly, with all
5Across video panel on PBS’s MediaShift
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
Last week I was part of a video panel for a new show called 5Across, hosted and created by MediaShift’s Mark Glaser. As part of this beta for their monthly episodes, we discussed topics such as how we started in our new media video careers, professional vs. amateur video, distribution methods and more. With me
80′s videos, much improved!

As an eighties baby, these songs often haunt me in my dreams. Actually, a-ha’s “Take on Me” was the second song I ever downloaded on iTunes! So the sickness runs deep. Anyhow, Josh pointed me to these posts on Laughing Squid, and I got a huge kick out of these literal translations, created by Dust
Soulja Boy: The next Yahtzee?
about 1 year ago - 20 comments
I saw the following video yesterday on Joystiq, in which rapper Soulja Boy does his damnedest to explain the brilliant game Braid to his YouTube audience. But then today I was talking to Josh, and he said something even more brilliant: “He is the next Yahtzee.” Let’s compare (and btw, neither of these videos are
Questions and Qomments (see what I did there?)

Here’s a mini-FAQ for my part in Qore: So is Rev3 involved in any way? Or are you working for both Rev3 and Sony’s Playstation unit now? Nope! Rev3 is not involved in any way. Technically, I work for Future US, the publishers of such magazines as Playstation: The Official Magazine, PC Gamer, and MacLife.
Introducing Qore!
about 2 years ago - 84 comments
Today the project I’ve been working on for the past two months (other than Tekzilla, of course!) is being announced to the world: Qore, an interactive program on the Playstation Network. I’m really excited about it, and also a little nervous, because it’s unlike anything I’ve done before. As we all know, video can be
Learn espresso from the best
about 2 years ago - 17 comments
Ryan and I recently became the owners of Rancilio Silvia espresso machine, and since then we’ve been trying to learn the ins and outs of pulling a decent shot. While Ryan has some experience in this area, I’m a total and complete noob. Luckily, our friend Niall steered us towards this great video series that
Veronica on Qik: I’ll try to be more exciting, I promise
about 2 years ago - 34 comments
The folks over at Qik were kind enough to outfit me with a Nokia N95, so I could test out their service. I’ve been quasi-resistant to lifecasting of any kind, for a few reasons: 1. My days are typically very boring. 2. I feel bad shoving a camera into people’s faces and streaming them. 3.
