Do you get themail on Wednesdays and Sundays?



For those who might be interested, I recently wrote an article about Using Skype as a Tool for Community Media Production. I may be presenting a workshop on this topic at the annual CTCNet conference in June, 2005, in Cleveland. If you're not planning on attending, I'll drive over to your house and show you this stuff anyway.

Annie McCormick's got something to say. There's a dangling pedestrian "walk/don't walk" sign at Thomas
Circle. It's been hanging by its wire for a week or more. She's afraid it might drop and hurt someone. And rightly, yes rightly, she should be.


Ed Barron's got something to say.
You can be sure he has something to say.
He’ll tell you right after his morning constitutional walk
If he alters the route of his walk, will he have a constitutional amendment?
if so, does it need to be ratified by 2/3’s of the states?

Brad Hills is storytelling like no one else can. he's inviting you to Washington Storyteller Theatre. I'd go, if they'd have more Quicktimes clips on their web site. They sound like a great bunch of people.

and she's a better satirist then most folks on tv today. almost all her satires are right on the mark. which makes them all the more funny, even if that doesn't rhyme.

Sara Cormeny has got something to say.
Seeing David Sobelsohn's Footlights-related posting reminded her that it's time for the theater season in DC to start back up — and she’s very excited! In that spirit she’d like to pass on some theater tips for those who haven't experienced “the scene” here yet. David has written a really good article on seeing theater on the cheap.

Dorothy Brizill's got something to say.
she calls the shots as she sees them.
most of the time she's right on the mark,
We could use a whole lot more Dorothy Brizill’s in this city.

Than the people who come off as too intense.
A lot of folks just sit there on the fence.
Although being undecided ain't a statutory offense.
