"Cross town cyber traffic"

Adam Gaffin of universalhub.com gave a nice shout-out to DriveTime in yesterday's Boston Globe (in the weekly blog log column).

Crosstown cyber traffic
Ravi Jain of Jamaica Plain is looking for guests on his new video blog, DriveTime. One caveat: You have to be willing to drive with him from JP to Allston in the morning (or from Allston to JP in the evening) -- he videos the show while driving to and from work. Don't worry -- he's rigged up a camera mount so he mostly keeps his eyes on the road.

Thanks to Steve Garfield for the heads-up about this!

Go! Team

I picked up the new U.S. release of the Go! Team album Thunder, Lightning, Strike -- which has been out in their hometown U.K. for a while now. I'd downloaded some tracks and really liked it -- kind of '70s cop show theme meets urban hopscotch meets Vince Guaraldi.



It was a bargain at $8.99 at Newbury Comics -- with a couple of bonus tracks for the American release. See, p2p actually makes me purchase more music!

They're appearing on Live with Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow night and are playing here in Boston on November 1, at the Paradise.

Prize Winning Tomato

I attended a Meet the Vloggers event in Cambridge last Sunday, hosted by Serra and Mike of headsoff.blogspot.com in association with Road Node 101.

Everyone was showing some vlogging examples in a kind of show and tell roundtable. I had hoped to have the first episode of DriveTime up before the meeting to show, but when the bottle spun my way, I remembered a "hidden" episode of Three Abreast that's up on line: the legendary premiere episode, The Prize Winning Tomato (not to be confused with Bigger Night!)



It was like getting reacquanited with an old friend, as I've not really thought about this project that consumed a quarter of a decade of my life. I really do need to create a living archive of this project!

For now, a step back to 2002.

DriveTime is off and running!

I've launched my weekly videoblog, DriveTime.
