Commenter Stacey noticed that I promised to post video of HGTV star Barry Wood awhile back and hadn’t done it yet.

Well, Stacey, here’s the finished video made for The Pasfield House’s website:

Here’s an old spot I co-produced while working for Insight Media.  It’s a take-off of Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues (obviously) and features Brian Akers on camera.  I wrote and shot it, Jon Schwab did the editing, and Bill Thomas sang and played guitar.  It won us an Addy award.  Say what you want about it, if you listen to it 3 or 4 times, that song gets stuck in your head.

Finally got an iPhone this morning.  Surprisingly, video over wi-fi on the phone plays better than it does on my Comcast “Business Class” internet in my office.

Maybe now the cool kids will let me hang with them (I’m looking at you, Mr. Falzone!)

Gettin’ back into the swing of things today after being gone Thurs. and Friday.  I was in the Chicago suburbs (Glen Ellyn, Batavia, and Waukegan to be exact) starting a new video for the Illinois Dental Association.  No Chicago pizza this trip, but I did stop at Portillo’s for dinner.  Great atmosphere, but the Italian Beef at Fat Moe’s in Springfield beats it for taste.

As requested, here’s a pic of me in the lockup when I was raising money for MDA the other day.  If you have to do time, I highly recommend the top of the Crowne Plaza on a beautiful 79 degree day.
