Hey guys. I've been having some fun with my Sony Cybershot. I've posted a series of experimental movies on youtube called "Bored is the New Black". I've also done shorter ones like "I can't believe it's not murder !". There's no plot to any of them, just getting a feel for the camera and being silly. My latest upload to YouTube is closer to a short film, called "Board Game Extraordinaire". Check it out.

Recently I was invited by Tara of TaraMetBlog to participate in a viral video for the Stand Up To Cancer campaign. I thought it turned out really well, and I was so glad to be a part of the project.

I was standing up for my grandma, Annette Pearl Williams, who died of lung cancer in 2000. You can see her likeness painted behind me in the photo used for the SU2C video. I remember how much I loved her creamed eggs on a Sunday morning at Cocoa Beach. And I remember my last night with her, just a week before she passed. Even though her body had been abused by the chemo and radiation, and she needed a portable oxygen tank, she was laying on the floor watching movies with the family, and smiling alot. She is missed very much.

I've also had a number of other ladies in my family touched by cancer, and it's really something important to raise awareness about. Check out this SU2C video, and then explore the links below for information about how you can add your voice to the cause.

More photos submitted for this SU2C project.

To learn about some other ways you can stand up to cancer check out the SU2C Virtual Stand-Up and pass it on.

I came across this hilarious viral video on youtube. I have to say Robert Downey Jr. was so funny. He has a great sense of humor.

Lately, at I.C.E. writers camp, I've been learning some handy writing tips for details and using all my senses. I created a character named Hister a few days before camp, and being around all the creative juices I was inspired to write a comic strip about him. I was working on the art today, I will post it up later when I get a chance to scan it. Anyone know any good sites for doing comic books? :]

Lately I've really been into Parkour, also called freerunning. Here's a video I made with my friend Devonte and I parkouring in a local park:

Parkour Soccer?

This video caught my eye! These guys show some amazing skills combining parkour, acrobatics, and soccer:



If you have cool videos or stories about parkour, drop a comment.

I saw this video on a mom's blog, and thought it was awesome. These people look like they have alot of fun at work. I love how they shot it all in one take, with no splicing, and everyone's timing was perfect. If you know of other cool videos, let me know in the comments. If I like it and haven't seen it before, I'll give you props. This one's just good clean fun.

Here's what the creators say about it:

"We did this video one night after work. We are a company called Connected Ventures, a group of friends who work for: Vimeo, CollegeHumor, Busted Tees, and Defunker."

BTW, I didn't notice it at first, but pasting that quote in I noticed CollegeHumor was involved. I shoulda known. I just spent my Saturday watching dozens of Jake and Amir's "Hardly Working" on CollegeHumor.com.

hat tip to a bloggin' mom with a good sense of humor. (though not really kid readin' material. Ssssshhhh)
