This is just way fucked up. At the May Day immigrant rally in Los Angeles, the LAPD completely went overboard using batons and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters. This video put together by GameJew captures the rawness and realness of the situation in away that mainstream media generally can’t.
This is the button to turn off the Internet, and genius thinking, there’s a Google ad under it.
Here’s the video of the panel I moderated yesterday at Podcast Hotel. On the panel with me are Justin Kan, Josh Wolf and Schlomo Rabinowitz
.
Podcast Hotel, a cool casual conference around independent audio and video podcast making, is happening this weekend in San Francisco. It takes place at the Swedish American Hall, a favorite venue for indie media makers. I’ll be moderating this session on Saturday:
1:30 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.
The State of Vlogging: What’s new?
How is the community evolving? How can artists get into vlogging as a way to promote themselves and their work? We will address how enabling technologies have changed the way we view and create video content online; are broader audiences ready? Will there be increased demand as with online video sites? How will this impact news distribution in the future?

Josh Wolf, The Revolution will Be Televised
I’m psyched to have such an esteemed panel of online video movers and shakers. Josh Wolf is free now after achieving the status of longest jailed journalist in American history. Justin Kan has made international headlines over the past month for being the first person to “lifecast” himself. Schlomo has his short stubby fingers in more vlog pies that I can name. Adriana reports for party scenesters bub.blicio.us and worked previously at video hosting site Guba. Come on down or watch the action lifecast on justin.tv.
I recently took a visit to Santa Cruz with my friend Lindsay and we rode the
super rickety Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster. Santa Cruz is the only US west coast city to still have a boardwalk with amusement park rides.
Day 4 of Videoblogging Week’s entry is a quick edit from a LunchMeet interview I did with Nic Hill, director of Truth In Numbers, a new documentary about Wikipedia. I had nothing to do with the monkeys, Nic hooked me up with that clip. Enjoy.
Today was a extraordinary day as Josh Wolf was released from federal prison after 7.5 months for contempt of court. He was the longest held American journalist in US history. Now that he’s out, he’s got a couple projects he will be working on. From his press conference today on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.
