After almost a year of trying, Blogswana, our blogging-for-others project, is still unfunded. After some initial press coverage and a few donations, nearly three dozen grant submissions and hundreds of appeals to private donors, we still lack the funding for the project. This is especially sad since we had such great cooperation from both [...]

You must take this seriously if you love kittens and [...]

I’m readying myself to go out to Washington D.C. and speak to C.I.A. and State Department intelligence types at the Meridian House about blogging and democracy. My point of view? It’s a good idea.

Looks like we’ll be heading back to San Francisco on November 6, until the 9th. During this time we’ll pitch our documentary to The Gentlemen. I don’t think it would be a good idea to talk about the story itself yet, but I can whisper this into your ear: Alien Bikini Monkey Car Wash.

I have spent some of my time over the past couple of weeks putting together a proposal for a documentary, which my producing partner and I have pitched to a group called The Pitch Room. The Pitch Room is a documentary project for HBO. In a sense it is the blueprint for a “reality show,” [...]
