Thursday Morning Inspiration – VIDEO

When American paratrooper Arthur Boorman returned home after the first Gulf War, the doctors had some devastating news: “You will not be able to walk unassisted again.” One of my favorite uses for YouTube and Internet Video is to encourage and inspire.  A well-crafted video can kick-start the urge in us to be better people, to take [...]

Happy Star Wars Day!

May the Fourth Be With You! Hehehe… get it? To celebrate, I have an effects-packed new vlog talking about my awesome new car that I’m picking up today, and naming her the oh-so-appropriate title of “The Millenium Falcon.”  Awesome, yes?  It’s a 2001 black Pontiac Bonneville, and it looks awesome.  Anyway, hope you enjoy Star Wars [...]

Can I borrow, like, $50,000?

College is expensive. I mean, you probably knew that, but dang.  It looks like I’m going to have to take out student loans if I want to go to school.  I’d love to get a degree in Digital Media or something similar, which is my passion (obviously.  Look around the website…).  It’s just that I’m [...]

How to make a GOOD Vlog – #1: Where do I start?

Vlogging is a great outlet to express your opinions, entertain people, or just keep your friends up-to-date with what’s going on in your life in a medium much more entertaining than writing a Facebook status or paragraphs of a traditional blog post.  If you’re reading this, chances are that you’re more interested in the the [...]

“Hugo” Review

Very rarely does a 3D family film come out that… well, let’s face it, isn’t utter crap.  Usually, it’s one or the other; you can see a 3D movie with an amazing story, but annoying 3D (Deathly Hallows is a good example), or a crap story with spectacular 3D (Avatar… hurr).  ”Hugo” happens to be [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to say I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Remember to take nothing for granted, and that “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:1 NIV) Now it’s the Christmas season!  I want Uncharted 3, [...]

‘Footloose’ Review

Just about a year ago, I was driving to work, and I looked out my window towards the gas station/car wash that I drive past all the time.  And there was a movie crew, and written on the signs surrounding the store was ‘FOOTLOOSE.’  They were filming a Hollywood movie, HERE?  In Small Town, Georgia?

‘Paranormal Activity 3 ‘ Review

Despite the fact that they typically feature some pretty bad acting and are universally panned by critics and movie-goers alike, I love ‘Found Footage’ movies.  Something about them makes me just really get into them, even if the idea seems far-fetched.  When I was 13, I made a scary movie called ‘In Search of the [...]
