Favorite Albums of 2009

Today marks the last day of December, 2009, and the decade. Half of me wants to be really deep and reflective and find something crazy smart to say about the year. The other half just wants to count down my favorite albums of the year. I think I'm going to do that instead.

UPDATE: my good ol pal, Devin Cochran, put his favorite 2009 albums in a facebook note and included whether he saw them live or not. Great idea, im gonna cop dat.

Give the Gift of Love at Emerson College

Tonight at 7pm Emerson Good News Fellowship (EGNF) is hosting a Krochet Kids Christmas Party to raise money for women in Northern Uganda. We will be selling KKi hats and the proceeds of those sales will go to the women who knit the hats. It's a great way for people to get a sweet hat and help those in need. I'm pretty stoked for tonight, I've been working on this for the past two weeks and its really coming together. Students on campus are excited and I really think it will be a successful event. In addition to sending hats we're going to have free food/cookies/punch, a live DJ from WERS, a gift wrap/christmas card making table, a photobooth, and a presentation of what Krochet Kids International is doing in Northern Uganda to help these women out of poverty. Please pray just not only for these women but that ENGF will be known on campus through the event and that we will have opportunities to share our faith with others. Awesome sauce!

Here are some posters I made for the event.

The Future of Filmmaking

As of late, I have been so stoked on the idea of DSLR filmmaking. Canon seems be at the fore front of this push (suck it Nikon) and their current offering of 1080p enabled DSLRs are manifested in the bodies of the Canon 1D Mark IV, Canon 7D, and Canon 5D Mark II. I am by far not a camera pro (and am now wishing I took some photography classes in high school), but its been so interesting see what each one has to offer in terms of video. Last week I posted about a 5D lecture I attended and how exciting it was. Today I found an article about the Canon 7D on the Engadget website. Cool Stuff!

GIVE Seattle

Maybe I'm biased, but I've always thought Seattle (or more specifically, the Pacific Northwest) has the best local music scene in the country. So, it was I was totally stoked to find out about GIVE Seattle, a 25 track compilation of Seattle bands/artists just in time for the holidays. And its only 7 bucks. And you can gift it to your friends, by entering their email ($7 per email). AND all proceeds from this project (thats right, 100% of teh moneiz) go to Art Corps and local foodbanks around Seattle. It just keeps getting better and better!



Throw Me the Statue, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, The Lonely Forest, Fleet Foxes, and The Grand Archives are just A FEW of the awesome Seattle bands featured on this great compilation. See what The Seattle Times has to say about this or check out GIVE Seattle for yourself!

Steve Irwin Day

Crickey Mate!
Its Steve Irwin Day in the Land Down Under. To celebrate, I will listen to Men at Work and look at pictures of Komodo Dragons on teh interwebz.

A Shameless Plug

This is still a very young blog (only existing for about 3 hours so far), so I've decided before I get too into it, I should post a link to My Vimeo Page and Channel. I never have any viewers so I encourage you to check em out and let me know what you think. I currently am working on a documentary about the Solar Boston Project and that will probably be up there in the next couple of months.
