This is a very interesting documentary on the 1992 elections that utilizes live intercepted satellite feeds used by the networks and weaves them into a narrative. Rather than paint the political parties or individual candidates in a particularly negative light, this work shows them as struggling with understanding main-stream media, and portrays the media itself as the major problem with American politics.

Been so busy with work, home, dog, commute, and visitors from other-space that I have thoroughly neglected this space. With that as my excuse, and I am sticking with it, consider this a mini-post to touch on some educational/technology topics that have been filling my days to brimming over.

• Using Drupal to rapidly prototype a site on a cultural competency curriculum.
• Learned (and love) Django for Tomorrow Unlimited.
• Digging Eclipse with PyDev, Subclipse, and Mylyn (formerly Mylar).
• Pro bono consulting on Hella Delicious. Further evidence that good content is what really matters.
• VC keeps calling for Plone/Zope/Zeo/Apache help on the Jehle/Reny economics site.
• Putting together QA process with folks at CCNMTL.
• Nursing faculty are loving podcasts.
• Recently re-read the Foundation series. I miss Isaac, and am thankful that I can spend time with him through his works.
• Currently reading The Pragmatic Programmer by Hunt & Thomas.

In cleaning my house, I found an early copy of the Digital Tour of Poughkeepsie DVD I produced with Leonard Nevarez at Vassar over the last three years. I hope to post some clips, stills, and a write-up describing the project, its goals, and the techniques we used to get it done.
