    The Story of Shooting War

    New York, NY The year is 2011, and Jimmy Burns, a young anti-corporate blogger has just seen his Williamsburg apartment blown to bits by yet another terrorist attack on New York City. He’s recorded the gruesome scene on his videoblog camera footage Burns beams live to a freaked-out world and that makes him an overnight media sensation. Exploited by his own network (Global News: “Your home for 24-hour terror coverage”), enraged by the terrorists, and determined to tell the American people the truth, Burns takes off for Iraq to get the real story of a war that’s been raging for more than eight years. SHOOTING WAR is written by Anthony Lapp, illustrated by Dan Goldman.

    A web comic about a video blogger from the future. Wow, how nerd tastic?! I love it.

    Only in late 2006 would a television ad have its own blog/RSS feed. There are also plenty of goof balls like me are blogging about it. Ugh.

  • Nata, Botswana

    My brother is helping a small village in Botswana by telling their story and raising money for them. Please go and check it out:

    Nata Village
    http://www.natavillage.org

    If you have an interest in the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa, we would like to invite you to visit www.natavillage.org.

    With today’s sensational media and political agendas affecting what we see, this website will offer you an opportunity to see first hand the battle to control HIV/AIDS in the small village of Nata in Botswana. Botswana, in Southern Africa, has one of the highest HIV infection rates in the world. The pandemic has left Nata with over 400 orphans.

    The blog was born when world traveler Jon Rawlinson met up with Melody Jenkins who serves as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. Both were frustrated with the fact that enormous amounts of money are pouring into Africa yet little money is getting to the village level and to those who need it most. Jon made three visits to Nata and filmed a documentary about HIV/AIDS in the village. The documentary which is currently in production led the way to the website.

    The website will show you the Nata Clinic, feature PLWA’s (People Living with AIDS), village life, youth groups, the Kgosi’s (chiefs) and the professionals involved in the fight to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. Thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 60,000 people in Botswana are taking the life saving ARV’s (Anti-retroviral medication). The challenge is that for years there was no help for those with HIV/AIDS. Getting people to accept and adhere to the ARV’s is an ongoing struggle. The PLWA’s and the youth groups are instrumental in educating the villagers and we hope to support them with this website. Thanks to the ARV’s, Nata is now a village of hope and much can be done to save the lives of those infected with HIV/AIDS.

    Melody is working to start the Nata AIDS and Orphan Trust. If you choose to donate, that’s great but it is not the primary objective. We are equally interested in sharing the stories of the People Living with AIDS, introducing you to village life and letting you meet the players that are involved in this drama that is unfolding in Nata.

    Thanks for taking the time to check us out. If you like what you see, please forward this to your friends.

    Sincerely,
    Jon Rawlinson & Melody Jenkins

    Here’s Day 4 of my Video Blogging Week 2006 series.

    This is another Flickr Tag video. It features all of the photos on Flickr tagged “interestingness1“. That tag is supposed to be used for people whose photos make it to the top of the “interestingness” page on Flickr for a given day. The video is a bit nuts and may cause headaches.

    My video blogging week 2006 series has been viewed over 1000 times according to the server logs already and yet only like 3 people have commented! Too many damn closet reader/viewers out there! ;)

    The song in the video is called Yeah (pretentious version) by LCD Soundsystem

    Enjoy. 75 MB .mov
