bmtv70 More Greetings from Asbury Park

On christmas eve I decided it was a good day to go see my old friend Asbury Park, to check on all the changes people have been telling me about. More than 6 months after my last visit and video entry, I was shocked to find one of my favorite abandoned structures, the Casino, had been demolished. On display was a grand plan to rebuild it to its former beauty. Unfortunately not more than a week after this was recorded, I read the stories of how 2 major developers of the water front have pulled out because of the housing crisis or fear that Asbury Park will not ever turn a profit.

This is my update on Asbury Park, December 2007, pardon the wind noise. Credit to Mr. Springsteen for his song, Gonna Be a Long Walk Home, which of course is very appropriate for his hometown.

During my recent visit to NEw JErsey, land where I was born and raised, I spent some time walking through the forest that my friends and I grew up playing in and around. It is a unique place and in this vlog entry I try to explain why.

This is a walking vlog entry that I recorded last week in Washington, DC. No very citizen-reporter-esque point to it, beyond sharing some thoughts and images.

bmtv66 The Sunday Newspaper

Greetings from Washington, DC dear readers. I’m here at the home of one of the hardest working political bloggers on the planet, Mr. John Aravosis. In the coming days I’ll be writing and recording material related in some way to this city, the people in it, and the world outside it. It won’t just be about politics, it will be about people’s lives and the place where so many decisions are made that impact those lives.

The following vlog entry is about one of the funniest and saddest things I noticed about the newspaper in New Jersey. Specifically the Sunday paper, which is supposedly a day where many people sit back and read about what is happening in this world. The catch is, as you’ll see… the sunday paper is thick but not necessarily with news.

This is part one of the talk I gave at the Chaos Communication Camp over the summer. It is entitled “Rebelious Communication and the Federal Flood”. Note that it takes place in a bunker, which made for an interesting environment… bunkers and hackers.
