A montage of public comments at Santa Cruz City Council and the County Board of Supervisors. This is great for character studies….such an interesting cornucopia of different personalities.
Fantastic.

 February 13th, 2009 | Category: politics / economicsThere’s a growing rift between legislatures at the state and federal level. What started as only a few could grow to over half of the United States advertising separate identities under the constitution. It will be interesting to see how this situation plays itself out. Keep your finger on the pulse. Click on [...] The concept is direct and communicated in a creative way. Paris VFX and 3D animation studio Space Patrol handled the production of this 3D clip for French NGO Pain without Borders/ Douleurs sans frontières with the goal of increasing public awareness to pain in its various forms and drive enough [...] During the year of 1994, Rwanda was a country torn by conflict between the Tutsis and Hutus. The violence affected many and sparked an eventual genocide of over 1 million people. This story focuses on one real-life individual doing his best to manage in the eye of an ever-closing storm: hotelier Paul Rusesabagina at [...] After putting in a day’s work, I headed off to vote. If you haven’t done it yet, make sure to get out to your local precinct and caste your ballot. Not too long ago my friend Joe sent this funny video to myself and others relating to the election. Hahaha. I was tricked at first and [...] October 16th, 2008 | Category: politics / economicsHofstra University hosted this year’s third presidential debate in a sit-down forum moderated by Bob Shieffer. The University has a feature-rich index page with various media relating to the issues discussed. If you haven’t looked into some of the issues on the tip of spear, this hub of information is a good place [...] October 8th, 2008 | Category: politics / economicsA stock investor by profession I am not, but I’ve been keeping my eye on the Dow Jones for the past few years. Market trends and how they are affected have always interested me. It’s like a complicated role-playing game of statistics and probabilities. Main St. is effected by Wall St, and every other market [...] I think I can speak the mind of most people tied into the world economy and say things are a bit on edge right now. As I wrote about earlier, most of this debacle was heralded by the situation with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This maelstrom, however, has been brewing for years. One of my [...] What is one of the largest pinch-points of the current economy in the United States? Mortgage loans and the housing bubble, of course. This is only one corner of the multi-faceted tower that comprises the country’s stability as a whole, and its syncopation into the world system. The government acquisition of the lending giants [...] When I’m looking for some real hip hop, I’ve always got to dig deep. Thankfully there are bands out there with a natural metronome of pacing, lyrical rhythm, and style, all wrapped up in a bun of philosophy and content. Flobots, I feel, satisfies this checklist. Their album, Fight With Tools is a mix [...] June 6th, 2008 | Category: politics / economicsA tangible march towards regionalism of trade and foreign policy in the asian-pacific countries is being promoted, as the below article states. The important things to mind are the costs and benefits associated with steps towards this direction, and the individual sovereignty of every nation involved. How will this impact the economy and identity [...] May 23rd, 2008 | Category: politics / economics“Spin” is a documentary directed by Brian Springer, analyzing the events of politics and media over a decade ago. The main draw to me was the marginal banter, advice, and events that occur off the air of broadcasting, yet captured and recorded by satellite feeds. Scientifically one can conclude that this speaks volumes on [...] This episode deals with the tailspin of supply and demand. I had a different take on this episode, though. Actions that we take in life are never the real problem, they are only the symptom to a state of mind, myself included. What you have are people playing in a foolish way on both sides [...] Heheh. My friend Ovi sent this out on our messageboard last week, and I thought it would be a good thing to share on this blog. The humor and the irony of the points made in this video had me rolling with laughter, especially the comment about mammon. At the same time, I [...] April 24th, 2008 | Category: politics / economicsI read about this on several artist blogs and heard it on email the past few weeks. This is highly alarming to anyone out there making a living from art. First, the definition of what is at stake: An Orphaned Work is any creative work of art where the artist or copyright owner has [...] |
On this blog you will find some of my professional work from various media design, as well as personal stories and other random stuff that motivates me to stay creative.
