Suzy said “Tanja come get a makeover from my friends at Art Lab in Santa Monica.” So we did! Thanks, Art Lab. I feel like a sexy poodle! Woof! Art Lab 1410 Montana Avenue Santa Monica, CA 90403 310-394-5200
This playlist features 27 videos I produced from October to November of this year as part of YouTube and PBS’s project “Video Your Vote”. With my little Flip camera in hand I went all around my city and talked to friends and strangers about what they voted for. It’s worth noting the question was “What do you vote for?” as I feel that voting is a private act. It was interesting to me that many people chose to respond with the presidential candidate they were voting for.
On another note: KFWB (my local AM news radio station owned by CBS Radio, a subsidiary of CBS Corporation) ripped a sound bite from one of these interviews the day following the election. They failed to give me credit as a source. I attempted to contact the newsroom for several days and each time I was connected to a person they said they would look into it and get back to me.
But they never did.
I think this is sloppy reporting. Today with my blog and the tools I use for podcasting even I know the importance of acknowledging where I got the information I’m relaying or commenting on. Any corporate mainstream press outlet worth their salt ought to be doing the same. Not only that, except where indicated by a Creative Commons license, I retain the copyright to most of my digital media. Kindly obtain permission from me if you are interested in using my work because even under the CC license I disallow commercial use or the creation of derivative works.

Yesterday was Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s so I took my mother down to their local scoop shop at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. There I discovered from store manager Tricia that it’s more than just a show of customer appreciation, it’s a movement to make poverty history.
Not to be out done, today is 31 Cent Scoop Night at Baskin Robbins. Participating stores will reduce prices of small ice cream scoops to 31 cents to help honor America’s firefighters. At some locations, you may also have an opportunity to make a donation to your local fire charities. FWIW, when I was a teenager, my first job was scooping ice cream at the B&R in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd.
