Happy New Year all!

Juli and I have been putting together a newsletter year in review, and finally got it sent out this afternoon. The newsletter is archived here: http://www.the1secondfilm.com/newsletter/9

There has been a lot of archiving work lately, aside from digitizing video, we have put together a budget overview, a newsletter archive menu, and a similar archive menu for presentations along our Road to Oprah tour, so you can check out an individual stop to see pics, etc. We have also been labelling and tagging tons of photos on flickr. Managing all this media always takes more time than you expect. We are still working on video.

Shwag!

Happy Holidays!

Hope you are having a wonderful week full of cheer with your near and your dear.

I don't know how, but my improv team "Not From Chicago" won AGAIN last week, which means we will be defending our defending our hard-won Student Cagematch Champion Belt at the iO WEST's Andy Dick Theater in Hollywood TOMORROW NIGHT (Thursday) at 10pm.

As an added bonus, my dearest Patrick Ian Moore will be joining the team this week -- the first time we shall ever perform Improv together! -- as many of my teammates are home for the Holidays.

TWIST, the musical based on OLIVER TWIST

This year has been crazy busy for me in many aspects of my acting career. An actor friend of mine posted a list of his achievments for the year so I did the same and here they are for my 1secondfilm page.

One thing that wasn't catagorized in the list and something that I am most proud of is that I was an extra for The Dark Knight over the summer while filming took place in Chicago, IL. Well, I just saw the trailer and I'm totally in it! You can see a screen cap on my IMDB page or my official site. When you see it, look just behind the woman in white. It's pretty much one of the most exciting things that's ever happened and I'm that much more thrilled to see the film next Summer!

Are you looking for a good time?  :-)

My boy Patrick's art is being featured at one of downtown Los Angeles' best artist collectives, CATALYST - artist collective, this month!

They are having an awesome Dub/Electronica Art Party tonight from 10pm - 2am, and it's only $10 ($15 if you come after 11:30pm).

Patrick has 7 pieces hanging in the show, and it's happening here:

As we continue to organize all this media, I have been doing a fair amount of web clean up. Today, as I was looking for a better way to display our photos, I found a really cool (free) photo app called PictoBrowser for displaying photos from Flickr. You can alter the sizes, sets, and color of the photo tool, and embed in your site. I made the following, and added it to our home page, and have been spending all day organizing and labelling photos in Flickr. Check out some of these highlights:

So we have a few 750 GB Maxtor drives we've been storing video on, but had lost one of the power adapters. This makes it nearly useless. We were swapping with another drive, which means unmounting drives, powering down, switching cables, missing media, etc, etc. Let's just say it's a huge hassle. Nirvan and I called Seagate/Maxtor the other day and told them we lost it. The phone call was strange, I think we were expecting some type of resistance, as these customer service calls often go. Alas, THEY SENT A NEW ONE FOR FREE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED (except for our serial number)! We were so suspicious on phone too, we could barely get out a proper name or address. They ended up shipping it to a non-existent person. Today it arrived and I've been cleaning up our media situation, so we can organized for the long haul. It's refreshing to get such amazing customer service these days. They've definetly kept us as a loyal customer.
