Newspapers Video Blogging

My friend Billy says that video blogz is where we are all going.

In fact, he writes:

Hey- I see you've uncovered my video blogs. The next video medium is going to be video chatting! We're probably getting the gear for it in the next month or two. We can then be all like Logan's run with video phone chat stuff. Let me know about your article.

In fact, Billy and his wife Susan have just installed iChat in their London flat. I can't wait to be in the future with them. They got a brand new-ish baby.



Here's a nice piece I found through my friend Frances D.'s blog, linked to another blog she stays up on by a guy named Howard Owens. His site's very news-y and that's Frances D.'s background...(did someone say Columbia School of Journalism?)

Billy's recovering from ankle surgery. AND he's a basketball player. Be well, Billy. We'll see you in JULY!!!!

Here's Billy's latest video blog...sorta:

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews

Review: King Henry VI, Part 2

King Henry VI, Part 2 by William Shakespeare My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have just now gotten to part 2 of the Henry VI plays. the first had amazing speeches and frickin' Joan of Arc and I thought it couldn't get any better. THAN this one's got conjurors who evoke prophetic specters, multiple beheadings, and a mad rebel named Cade who just starts to try to take over the whole country, no Empire for like no good reason then gets killed after hiding ten days without food in a hedgegrove. The language is extraordinary from the get go where pious Henry says, "O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!" I am going to make that my motto! View all my reviews
