Commented on BB Video: "A VOLTA" from NASA Project: Narco-Cholo Game Ultraviolence
Xeni, My apologies for introducing the word "promote" here. I assure you I did not mean to imply that you were doing so from any commercial or financial interest, only that your blog serves to bring these things the attention...
Commented on BB Video: "A VOLTA" from NASA Project: Narco-Cholo Game Ultraviolence
This is a disturbing piece of work. Your intro comments seem only to appreciate its formal qualities (which are impressive) without regard to the horror and nihilism of the content. What say you? Commentary on the violence of international drug...
Commented on CES Video: Palm Pre Hands-On with Joel and Brownlee, post-review huddle with Ars Technica
I have to admire the gadget guys for being willing to appear on camera (a face born for radio & all that). Certainly helps explain the machismo prose of Brownlee....
Commented on Abandoned Prime Minister's mansion in Beirut -- infiltration photos
Abandoned? Only needed a *little* jimmying?...
Commented on Joel Stein: "Nut allergies -- a Yuppie invention"
One swallow does not make a Spring, etc.. Asshole-like rhetoric aside the science on this is clearly on the side of the skeptics. In the same way that scientific analysis cannot find a causal connection between immunizations and autism, it...
Commented on Chabon's "Yiddish Policemen's Union": wonderful blend of hard-boiled and Yiddish ironies
I finished it recently -- after trying to drag out the pleasure as long as possible. A brilliant, wonder-full book -- it fills me with hope for the future of the human imagination....
Commented on Tokyology
Nobody can mix kitsch and depravity like the Japanese!...
Commented on Fluidhand is the future of prosthetic arms
Could this "friend" be a journalistic . . . ahh . . . composite? Based on the friend of a friend who knew a deaf girl and a character on a prime time soap? Just asking....
Commented on Experiment: 96% of passers-by ignore famous artist's street painting
No distinction was made in the film's commentary between public and private art. Art commissioned for public display is typically *given* a context -- both a visual context and a narrative one. This "experiment" merely demonstrates how minimally urban pedestrians...

duh, whoops, I just realized Xeni's producer credit was for the BB excerpt of the Volta video - not the actual video. Forget what I said - or, at least the partial promo comment stands. mea culpa - colour me douche...
Xeni Jardin commented on BB Video: "A VOLTA" from NASA Project: Narco-Cholo Game Ultraviolence
@burningcanoe, I am glad you dig the video. But as for the whole "you run a promotional service" BS, I find this insulting. First, I didn't create this music video. I produce the Boing Boing Video series, I'm the Boinger who manages that daily video program, and the NASA folks were kind enough to allow us to show their work on BBV. Read the credits. The comment about Cory is a cheap dig, and off-topic. I can't speak for Cory, or why he posts what he posts, but I respect his choices and his fundamental integrity, and neither are at...
Xeni Jardin commented on BB Video: "A VOLTA" from NASA Project: Narco-Cholo Game Ultraviolence
@BelchFire3000, I appreciate that you're asking questions in good faith, and sincerely. I don't want to devote the energy to write a detailed appreciation of the video -- the blog post is pretty long, and I feel like I've already said a lot. I don't feel like I need to defend the work, I'm not an advocate or promoter, my role here as the producer of this video series is to bring interesting things to light. I think some of the questions you're asking might be better answered by Logan, or the Date Farmers, but my short answer is: the...
kiddr01 commented on BB Video: "A VOLTA" from NASA Project: Narco-Cholo Game Ultraviolence
The video is really amazing, both technically and creatively. Also very impressive as the director really got in tune with the original concept artwork of datefarmers - very hard to do....
Brett Burton commented on BB Video: "A VOLTA" from NASA Project: Narco-Cholo Game Ultraviolence
@Xeni The sound design was truly incredible. While I watched the video, I kept wondering what they used to get those echos and reverbs. I guess I'm just a hopeless audio geek....
