happy Birthday Internet

We've come a long way!!!! http:// blogs.usatoday.com/technologylive/2009/10/first-internet-message-sent-40-years-ago-today.html

I battle my own windmills

Wellllll I have been reading, researching and finding there is no basic mega list of web series - soooooooo I have decided to descend into madness and start a Mega list dw2100's Web Series Mega List - home.comcast.net/~docwho2000/index.html Of course As I take this journey to answer the question - how many web series are there - I find I am going up against a LARGE set of data... lots of research and review and whewwww - but I am already enjoying the research and web coding and writing about this topic - so I welcome the madness and the thought of the little engine that could - one web series at a time!!!! PS - anyone wanna join me on this mad journey?????

Found a cool webseries site

This looks really neat and working on a collection of webseries www.epiguide.com/forums/index.php Does anyone know if there is a site that lists all the web series and includes links to reviews or basic summaries of the web series?

Write in Defying Gravity and others

OK more on the small films article I posted

Ok to elaborate on the article I posted a few ago and my dream job I love web series (and movies) - like 3Way (and Ladycops) and Gemini Division and Angel of Death and I could keep going (I manage the Mahalo web series page and trying to list them there - there are 1000s - I have a long way to go to listing them all - hmm need to find a wiki that catalogs web series and such) But you miss the theater atmo for most of these as you watch on the web or get the DVD (for the small films) - so if I had money and was not concerned with making loads of money, I would love to have a small theater that showcased and mixed web series and small movies with a theater atmo. I mean to have themes and events and all sorts of things and to inspire local community in filmmaking and just - damn I would love to run/manage work one of these places - sigh.... if only wishes could come true.... PS - again would not be about money just being in the environment... PSS - there are so many small production firm...

2012 mania keeps growing

hehe - yeah I should not laugh but this is turning into as big a deal as the Prince 1999 and millennium hullabaloo and the Y2K bug (remember that doom) dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/10/22/nasa-http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=10684940debunks-2012.html

Hmmm this sounds interesting

Found this article - I like the concept and also there is a mention about a firm that allows groups to purchase a movie for a screening - what a cool way to do a fundraiser or other thing and nice to know there are ways for small film makers to make it www.nytimes.com/2009/08/13/business/media/13independent.html?_r=2&th&emc=th

What a week

So - I had one of the greatest experiences of my life - I participated in a blog show - the archive is here - www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/2009/10/23/Nikki-and-Nora I got to be one of the readers (I read Liz Vassey) - and the highlight was Nancylee Myatt actually called in!!! Yup she was listening and called in and interacted with us - it was soooo awesome - she is so awesome - do catch some of her stuff if you can. I sounded like a dork, but I hope I did alright in representing Ms. Vassey I also finished up a lot of projects so starting to get into a good routine and schedule. This is good because it means consistency and more of a steady road for me. I got my hair cut, it is short but it's good - and trying to get things organized, plus finding more things are fun (work still up and down but eh) Been watching Dexter (almost through season 1), finished Exes and Ohs season 1, bloodties season 2 and assorted movies - wheeee - lots of great stuff. Defying Gravity - just watched th...

Some multimedia help

some nice links news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10379898-2.html?tag=mncol

This is a very good read

I highly recommedn everyone take a look at this and think about just how much privacy is shrinking and how the world is changing and what you should be thinking about if you do anything social media wise www.pcworld.com/article/174138/social_search_from_google_and_bing_my_8_big_concerns.html

This sucks - it's not easy being a celebrity

Another piece of freedom is taken away and once again the barriers between fans and those they follow is established - when we try to bring the world together - contracts and law divides it http:// news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10377583-2.html?tag=mncol;title

Is this the major shift in Hollywood?

what do you think? news.cnet.com/8301-31001_3-10378654-261.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.1

Social Media - when will it really be different?

What do you think - will boss's listen? http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-10377642-264.html?tag=mncol;title

A couple of interesting things

The geek road trip

Ok adding this to the ghost tour road trip and other road trips i want to do... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8171983.stm the geek road trip ;)

Another site with info about upcoming fun

Wheeee - getting more excited from www.tellofilms.com/members/action/blogcomment/?blog_id=43 Hey Nikki & Nora Fans! On Thursday, October 22nd, 2009, there will be a a highly unique show at the special starting time of 9 PM EST: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/20 09/10/23/Nikki-and-Nora Nikki & Nora's Nancylee Myatt, Christina Cox, and Liz Vassey Answer Your Questions On this show three people will talk - creator/writer Nancylee Myatt and stars Christina Cox and Liz Vassey. It's going to be an unusual show in more ways than one. Not only will it be the first time I've interviewed actual celebrities for my show instead of fan authors, not only will the show run longer than sixty minutes, but it will also be the first time where every single question will have been asked prior to airing. Due to scheduling conflicts that prevent all three of the guests from appearing in person, the entire interview has been conducted via email, and their answers will be read over...

How many of these have you experienced

THIS IS SO COOL

I have never done anything like this - I am so nervous and excited in one fell swoop (I am nemodoryismyido on livejournal) ---- official announcement) Dear everyone, (This is the official announcement which goes out everywhere today.) Typically I don't promote upcoming shows beyond the newest one, which will be my Kim Possible show this Thursday, October 15th, from 10-11 PM. Under these very special circumstances, however, I'm making an exception. On Thursday, October 22nd, 2009, I'll be hosting a highly unique show at the special starting time of 9 PM EST: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/2009/10/23/Nikki-and-Nora Nikki & Nora's Nancylee Myatt, Christina Cox, and Liz Vassey Answer Your Questions Normally I don't devote two full episodes of this program to a single fandom. Certainly I don't normally do it in the same month. In the wake of the October 1st discussion of Nikki & Nora, however, we're taking one more spin around the New Orleans city...

Great song - can you Relate

I really like this song - I'm using it in a Nikki and Nora story I am writing and I like how it seems to describe, to me, a deep level of Nikki and Nora's relationship. I like the song in general and the title is a catchy phrase - try working it into a conversation - I dare you ;) Do you have someone you could sing/say this to? Spiritual Virginity by Amber Challenging conversations help me to face what lies ahead Life is a mystery; your love is truly unconditionally ... I cried to the stars with a frozen heart -- the same heart that told me to see me Finally I found someone to hear what I hear (someone to hear) someone to feel what I feel (someone to feel) someone to see what I see (someone to see) Your spirit illuminates me (You took my) You took my spiritual virginity and you opened up all of my fantasy Yeah, yeah -- look at what you do to me Yeah ... Spiritual virginity (I reach and reach and reach) I'm wondering what (Why?) I am meant to be (Find a meaning) Searching f...

1 million fans to save Defying Gravity

OK - let's make this group - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=145579116164&ref=ts the 1 million fans to save Defying Gravity group - I'd rather use a group already out there then making yet another one and splintering people - we need to collect all the DG support not dilute it- let's see if we can get those numbers up - consider it a challenge, a contest, a race... - there are 300 million on face book and more fans around the world - just have people join - like signing a petition - let's do this - the 1 million fans for Defying Gravity campaign - tell everyone about it!!!!!!!! Let's show the numbers to back the idea DG should continue!!!!
