DISQUS

OMG. Guys, I'm so glad it all turned out okay. Sending out super-positive good vibes. You both are two of the most genuinely GOOD people we know, and we want you to be healthy and happy!
xoxoxo

Gary, great reminder video. Thx fellow hustla... ;)

OMG. That's completely and utterly horrible. What is the point of 911 if they behave in that manner? Unbelievable... and sadly not uncommon. Jeez.

Is the park lit at night? I remember in my old neighborhood shady things would go down in the park across the street until they installed bright lights... then people felt safe using it to jog on the track and play ball.

AMAZING. :)

FIRST!!! :D

Hey Chris, here's my response to your post:

Thanks for the shout-out Chris!! :)

It's a grand experiment for us... and hopefully leads into other really cool things... If the envelope can be pushed, we want to try and push it.

Happy Birthday Chris - hope you have many, many more!

Good end to a good year! Looking forward to the next. :)

Chris! It's great getting to know you too. Here's to an exciting 2007! :)

"We cannot be happy unless we think we are the means of good to others"

Wow, what a day. We were able to get in contact with the MySpace teen and he is alive. He overdosed on pills, but a fellow videoblogger Rick Rey called the school and they alerted the authorities. The kid's friend emailed me to let me know he's in the hospital - unconscious, but holding on.

A life was saved. Isn't that amazing? I'll never look at social networks the same...

So Steve Garfield tagged me, Jeff Pulver tagged him, and now I'm tagging you to tell us five things we don't know about you... The world wants to know Robert. :)

I think that's still yet to be seen. This colony stretches beyond even those we come in contact with and eventually meet face-to-face. This colony is global and unchartered.

Maybe the thing to do is to realize that the colonists are no longer the ones who make up the colony (colonists in the purist sense of the word). The landscape of this media will continue to be colonized perpetually by the curious and the skilled and the innovative.

If I consider myself a colonist - the best I can do is get on a boat and sail far away from the colony... expand my horizons, see what else is out there, and in that sense I would have done something differently.

We are a colony, now "do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

This is what Steve and I are always discussing with everyone we come across - the evolution of media. We are really active here in L.A. in teaching traditional media what the difference is and why this movement is so important.

With JETSET we involve our teen/young adult audience personally in the media we make - in every single show. They are part of what we create... And not only is our objective to entertain, but by engaging our young audience - we are teaching that this is a medium they can be actively involved in on a personal level. That is one of our main goals with JETSET, and what keeps us going. And the great thing is that teens are talking back. It's gone past YouTube. We're so happy that we are part of that, and can affect change in such a positive way.

Great conversation.

this is just unbelievable. :(

I can't believe that was already a year ago! It was so much fun. You guys put a great event together. Here's looking forward to next year, hopefully! :)

We think you guys are awesome. Next time you're in L.A., you know who to call! :)
