OMG dear prudence, one of the world’s worst agony aunts is dispensing her crappy advice via video. WHY? The agony aunt column is a form that doesn’t need to be improved and putting it in video form is just pointless videoism (video JUST BECAUSE WE CAN). This suuuuuuuucks.

Steven Jackson, recently graduated from ITP, has created this vlog directory as his thesis project. Should be good.
NewTeeVee » The Kids Are Alright: Video Art at NYU
A write up I randomly found of this year’s ITP Spring Show. Seems weird to not be there for it. I had meant to be more in touch with how things were going at ITP but things have been crazy recently with work and wedding.
Well done the guys though. Seems some interesting projects are afoot.

90 Seconds of Dave: What I’ve Been Doing Lately
This is a wonderful piece of storytelling. It’s tiny snippets of video and lots of stills edited together to tell the story of a pregnancy from the moment of announcement to many moments of playing with the (extremely cute) baby.
I love the start – it’s like you are allowed into someone’s living room in the middle of a significant moment and you have to catch up and figure out what’s going on (I’ve kind of given that away, but whatever). Then it all quickly picks up pace and before you know it there’s a new little person wearing a furry hat. Lovely piece of film-making.
Slashdot | Sign Language Via Cell Phone
A fascinating discussion that starts with an article about a new technology for sending low-bandwidth video optimised for sign language. It moves into issues of communicating using technologies and the different qualities of text vs. video vs. TTY and some others.

This is a poll of American attitudes to news media. Apparently they are mostly unhappy with the state of the media but think that free online sites present an opportunity to professional journalists and improve the quality of news. Odd.

This is a trailer for what looks like it will be a great movie. If it’s as good as the trailer it will be anyway. This is really awesome documentary filmmaking – full of personality, personal stories, a political angle, a window on a world you’ve never seen before. Kind of inspirational.
