This past Friday afternoon, there were only a few of us in the office because of the holiday weekend. We took a break from making videos to play some Beatles Rockband.

Brad is really good at fake drums.

Rapidian promo on Vimeo (via Vimeo)

Here’s a little teaser I put together for a new citizen journalism website we’re launching here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have high hopes that The Rapidian will be an amazing, hyperlocal news resource that can also serve as a template for similar projects in other cities.

With a minimal but important amount of training, area residents can become reporters for the project - text, video, audio, photography, or any combination thereof - and The Rapidian will offer four physical neighborhood news hubs with equipment and resources for citizen reporters. I’m so excited to be a part of this endeavor.

The project launches September 15th - check it out.

This photo was taken by Karen on her last day in our apartment. This one was taken on the first day! It all happened far too fast.

So, my good friend and summer roommate, Karen, left for home earlier this week. I miss her.

I love you, Karen! Thanks for a summer I will never forget.

Sometimes, when I really concentrate, I can float.

I went to the Barnes & Noble in Union Square around 8PM after work to find some books I’ve been wanting to read. Went upstairs and saw that there was a long line for a book-signing or some event. Didn’t think too much of it.

Found my books, and perused for about a half hour and started heading downstairs. The event had calmed down a lot, and I could finally see who was signing books. It was Jane Goodall. My mind was blown. This lady is famous for living with chimpanzees, and here I am, about to board some moving stairs. I haven’t read any of her stuff or I would’ve gotten in line.

Whoa, she’s got a Vimeo account.

Also, I saw this girl who is on 30 Rock walk past me in Union Square on Monday.
