New Neighborhood from laureng on Vimeo.
I moved to a new apartment in a new neighborhood in Philly (Bella Vista) last week. I decided to go exploring one night and took along my camera. I also decided to try out Vimeo for hosting this video.

Thanks to everyone in today’s Vlog Global Flashmeeting for being so inspiring. This is my first post in way too long. It’s not much - but it’s something - and that’s the point, right?
This is a video of various things I’ve seen around my new neighborhood in South Philadelphia while volunteering to canvass for the Obama campaign. I wish I could have recorded some of the actual canvassing - but that wouldn’t have gone over so well with folks. It’s been a pretty eye-opening experience.
Videographers, videobloggers, and video podcasters: come on down to IndyHall and work on all those videos you’ve been meaning to work on for the last 6 months!
On October 4th, 2008, I’ll be hosting a new event called PHLedit, a video editing coworking/jam session/hackfest event. It will be held at Independents Hall starting at 5pm on Saturday, October 4, 2008.
PHLedit is a free, unstructured video-centric coworking event. Video editors, video bloggers, video podcasters, or anyone who wants to come and edit in a supportive and casual environment are invited to do so. Wifi and power connections, seats, and desks are provided, but you’ll have to bring your own equipment and software.
This event was inspired by similar events across the country-PHXedit in Phoenix, AZ and SF Video Edit and SuperHappyVlogHouse in San Francisco, CA. It is loosely affiliated with Node101, an open-source movement to teach and spread videoblogging.
Some food and drink will be provided, but we’d like to do a potluck of sorts as well. Please bring some snacks (nom nom nom) to share if you are able to.
Please RSVP:

I’ve just finished this marketing video for friend and client Jesse Torgerson’s Jelilu psychodrama process entitled Jelilu: Performance Art From Life.
Today I hung out with Jen Simmons. Follow us as we take her awesome dog, Bear, for a walk. I decided it was high time to do a real “navlopomoish” video. Mentioned: David Howell, Clintus McGintus, Yackpacking on Rupert’s site, and why dogs don’t Twitter.
This mashup video is from a sophomore college class in 2003. I’m going to have to re-master it one of these days (some of it uses VHS source) and re-scan the Sandman stills–apologies; they can be hard to read at times.
Despite this, it’s still one of the things I’ve done that I’m most proud of. There’s a short essay (PDF) that goes along with it, if you’re so inclined.

To further illustrate what a huge geek I am. This is more of a brainstorm video, a sketch of an idea of a thought. Being fast-and-furious navlopomo, I don’t have the time to do more right now.
Context: Back in the beginning of 2007, the Sci-Fi Channel began a video “contest”, giving viewers high-quality SFX, music and b-roll video clips from the show Battlestar: Galactica (one of my favorite shows right now). Then they were to shoot their own footage and create a short video taking place inside that universe. I was going to do this but never got around to it.
I never was good at always following the rules.
