Feel free to check out my guest post on the VIDBLOG, where I wax cranky on the further erosion of mystery in modern life (thanks to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and the internet at large):

Thanks to the students and faculty of Western Washington University for inviting me to speak last night on my design practice at mod7.
If you’re in Canada tonight, and you’re itching for some YouTube-2.0-meets-Survivor-Idol action, and you’re young enough (or cool enough) not to have to be in bed by 10 so you can get up for work early tomorrow morning, then check out the season premiere of Exposure on CBC Television, at 11 pm.
Why? Because it looks like it will be a cool show. And because mod7 designed the graphics and titles. And because the lovely Lara (of TikiBarTV fame) is hosting. Need any more reasons?

I guess Brad Pitt wasn’t available for the photo op, so they went with me (his sometimes face double).
VIDFEST wraps in style at the Radical-sponsored gala. And Wil and Eric’s Master Class presentation today was packed! The only sour note was the relative ass-kicking Wil received at the hands of Joshua Davis during a few competitive games of Robotron. (Thanks to Jason for the photos).
