An Exclusive Video Tour of the DreamWorks Animation Studios

Cali Lewis and I had the rare opportunity to travel to Los Angeles for a Samsung sponsored event at the DreamWorks facility. We spent about half of the day getting updates on the state of the very impressive new Samsung television lineup, and we spent the other half getting a personal tour of the DreamWorks headquarters!

The John P. and Frederick V. Show – SEO Interview Galore!

Hey folks, a couple of weeks ago the very eminent, most gracious, and quite handsome (the invoice is in the mail) Frederick Van Johnson and I sat down at opposite ends of the Internet table for a cozy discussion geared towards photographers.

We talked about life, love, Woopra and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for photographers. I will point out that much of the discussion was applicable for just about any website you have although the intention was to answer specific questions that appeal to the needs of those of us who have a thing for lenses. Feel free to take a listen…

John P. on Net@Night with Amber Mac and Leo Laporte

net@nightAbout a week and a half ago Amber Mac and Leo Laporte were kind enough to have me on the net@night show to discuss Woopra.

We had a great time and they were very gracious hosts. I’m embedding the audio podcast from the show below, although we did do the show live and there was actual video demonstration taking place at the time. Needless to say Leo and Amber were very enthusiastic about Woopra, and we’ll be getting it installed on their sites very soon.

If you skip to around the 35 minute mark you should jump in where I’m coming on the show. But you could also listen to the whole thing because Leo and Amber are actually entertaining. :-)

Joe and Luke Interview the Cast of In Bruges

Barats and Bereta do SundanceThe boys from Barats and Bereta, Joe and Luke, scored some passes to the Sundance Film Festival where they applied their years of near-Emmy nominated performance skills to the task of interviewing the cast of the new movie In Bruges (Colin Ferell, Martin McDonagh, and Brendan Gleeson).

I’ve loved these guys, in an extremely manly sort of way, ever since they put out the mother’s day video that reminded me of my dear childhood.
