Here’s a video of some fellow hip-hop dancers from PMT Dance Studio doing a really neat "Thriller"-esque dance performance on Halloween in Washington Square Park. The routine is much harder and more involved than the one I learned for the Halloween Parade. Awesome work, guys!

Why I love Second Life (video)
Here’s a little video I prepared for a TV show explaining in one minute why I love Second Life. Oh and here’s a link to a story about Winston Ackland, the Second Life alt-rock musician I mention who has a song in an upcoming motion picture.
Geekcrush #37: DJ Bubblyfish
Last night at the Machinima Festival after-party at Eyebeam labs we were treated to the unique 8-bit DJ stylings of Ms. Haeyoung Kim, better known as Bubblyfish. I’ve seen Bubblyfish a couple of times before and have been blown away by her retro gaming-influenced electronica. Bubblyfish’s performances combine wonderfully retro imagery from old 8-bit games…
One zombie’s view of the NYC Halloween Parade
Still recovering from an amazing night at the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village.

Listen, Pray, Dance, Love
Today’s Meeting for Worship at Brooklyn Quaker Meeting felt so electric and powerful to me. There was a palpable energy in the room that had a dozen people leaping up and sharing vocal ministry that moved me greatly. I’m generally not one who likes a whole lot of vocal ministry, preferring a mostly silent Meeting…
