Las Vegas Sun is hiring… GO!!!
I bookmarked this on Delicious, which in turn was feed to my twitter, but it’s just too big to leave it at that. The Las Vegas Sun is hiring and if you’re wise, you’d apply. For one there aren’t many places hiring, but bigger than that, the Sun is one of the few papers that...

Still waiting for Photosynth 1.0 and now they’re dangling 2.0 as well
I wrote about Photosynth last year, with great excitement and at great length I might add (with too much length and excitement some of you might add) and after all this waiting and not seeing anything come out of it, I’m now getting all excited for the next evolution of this software. The idea of...

The resurection of the OG
Interactive Narratives is back! It’s back and thank goodness! After the fall of MultimediaShooter I was itching for a place to see multimedia on a consistent basis. Five years ago, IN founder Andrew DeVigal was snatched up by the New York Times and the web site slowly stopped seeing updates. But now its back and...

Time out Tuesday… On The Road
With MultimediaShooter down and out for the count, I haven’t been able to get my Koci travelogue fix in quite a while, which is harsh because it’s messing with my pre-trip vibe. See, I always watched some of those before a trip just to get me in the right mind set, but now those are...
I finally get Twitter! I believe! I believe!
I was an early adopter of Twitter, signing up for it in the wake of the buzz it created at South by Southwest 2007, but I didn’t write anything for a couple weeks, unsure of what I could use it for or even who would care what I had to say. At the time I...

Fun with Photoshop
The one thing I enjoy just as much, if not more, than photojournalism is film and animation (which is why I love LOVE multimedia so much)! Here’s a short film that combines photo(shop) and animation to illustrate the creative differences that can sometimes get in the way of progress. Enjoy! Animator vs. Animation by *alanbecker...

Time out Tuesday (extra!extra! edition): Looking back on Iraq
Having lived through half a decade of living with the war in Iraq on the public conscience (for some of us that’s all of high school or college) and upon the cusp of a sixth year… two questions come to mind: 1. What happened to the Afghanistan war? 2. What happened and what can we...

Nice pants, oh and MultimediaShooter is back up
After giving us all a huge scare last week when MultimediaShooter.com was hacked, and according to Richard they messed it up so bad that he wasn’t planning on jumping back on in a hurry. (I know I couldn’t log in to the user panel at all, so it musta been something major.) “RIP… I do...

MultiMediaShooter down… not if I can help it…
MultimediaShooter is down… but I’m hoping despite what Richard, the creator of the Web site, says, it won’t stay down for long. RIP I write this with a very heavy heart: I am sorry to report that this website is down for the count. The site was recently hacked severaltimes this weekend and severe damage...

Strobist thought it was cool…
Ran into a big hunk of equipment complications today, basically I need a portable power pack, and so in my research I ended up heading over to see what ol’ man David Hobby, aka the Strobist guy, was up to these days. I see he’s posted this video for Canadian rock group “Aquaplane” which was...

SJSU Multimedia Academy launch
I may not be at San Jose State University anymore, but last week one of our projects during my time finally moved from a great idea to the real deal. The SJSU Multimedia Academy was brainstormed last spring as a multi-year, world-wide program to explore the stories that litter the planet, just waiting to be...
