Friends of mine, DaVinci’s Notebook form Washington DC, wrote this as a template for a love song. The Community Christian Church then put it to a video. Enjoy, and remember it every time you hear a new love ballad.

Seemed more appropriate than Another Irish Drinking Song…

Slate Video – Hillary’s Inner Tracy Flick

Hi everyone,

Here’s a link to a video at slate.com that I think ties in pretty well with the course. It’s essentially a mashup of a speech by Senator Hillary Clinton and the film Election (starring Reese Witherspoon). I’m not sure if I can embed it directly, so just follow the link for now I guess. There’s a quick ad at the beginning, and the video starts directly after that.

cellphone commercial

Hi all!
I find this commercial relevant to what we are studying http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7Stqq0bWi0

it is part form a campaign in Argentina called “cellphone conscience”. i think it is kind of funny that a cellphone company decided to start a campaign making people realize that maybe they are using their cellphones to much. i really don’t understand what they would gain by doing that. does anybody knows how this works?
ah,
what is written at the end means something like “Let’s not let communication isolate us”
and the cellphone is called “Personal, and it is slogan (“Primero estas vos”) means “you are first”.
let me know if you cannot watch it.

Intro video

Here’s a copy of the video we’ll watch in Tuesday’s class, and a model for how to embed video in this blog – just type [youtube XXXX] into a post, where XXXX is the specific ID for that video (on YouTube, it follows the “watch=” in the URL). The same works for other video sites like GoogleVideo, Revver, etc.
