Election Day: Voting Matters
Several days before the election, I saw a photo pop up in my Facebook news stream. It was a photo of a woman burning her ballot at Occupy Portland’s #N3 Resist Austerity protest. I think this is ridiculously short-sighted and altogether ineffective. I say this as an Occupier. I say this as someone who is…

Vlogbrothers reach 1,000 videos
As I prepared to head out to the 24th week of the Frost Park Chalk-Off’s fifth year, I began my Friday, September 14th, by watching Hank Green commemorate 1,000 Vlogbrothers videos. Of course, the Vlogbrothers have made well over 1,000 videos. Aside from not counting the videos they’ve put up on their other channels (Crash…

Shooting Snakespeare: Cleanthony and the Caesars
I recently teamed up with director Kristie Worthey, best known as the guiding hand of Tacoma’s Shakespeare in the Parking Lot, to work on a project adapting William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra into a modern-day webseries.

As a friend, I’ve watched Triston slave for hours and days learning – through the art of self-teaching – and perfecting some new aspect of game…

Keep the Alien in Tacoma
Last year, the Tacoma community and The Weekly Volcano awarded me with the title of “Best Filmmaker in Tacoma”. When I found out, I was floored. It was a huge honor, especially since I’ve been so focused on survival these last few years that I haven’t had much time to focus on filmmaking, especially outside…

The Tacomapocalypse Returns
With all the different end-of-the-world scenarios lately – we had two Raptures last year alone – it’s easy to forget that Tacoma had its own zombie apocalypse exactly one year ago. A frightful mess of blood, gore and science gone awry, the Zombie Tacomapocalypse was a huge success for the mad, world-ending geniuses at Treefish Studio. An art…

We are Tacoma
For the last three months, I’ve been pretty heavily involved with Occupy Tacoma. It’s a movement I believe in, and a movement that I don’t think is going away anytime soon. Unfortunately, between my involvement in the movement, assorted client work and various personal crises (man, the plural for “crisis” really doesn’t look like a…

Why I need your help
Greetings! I’m here to ask you to democratically elect this extraterrestrial as your monarch! That…that makes sense, right? No? Okay, here’s the deal: I’m competing in the King of the Web Contest. My chances, are slim, especially as there are folks in the mix with much higher viewership than my relatively meager efforts can claim. But…
