I had a chance to meet two of the award recipients, Fred von Lohmann and Ben Scott.

Recently, I had let myself lose track of the movement for copyright balance and digital world legal movements in general. But it was great to find myself in a room full of the people that are acting on our behalf to protect our digital freedoms. I’d do a bad job at summing up the state of the digital rights movements – so, go check out Public Knowledge, Free Press and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. If you are at all a techie or supporter of technology, knowing what is happening on the legal front should be relatively important to you.

A close neighbor of mine was bicycling to work this morning when she was struck and killed by a vehicle. If you know her or read the news, you know the details, so, I won’t cover them.

But please take a moment while reading this to appreciate the importance of safety on the roads. I know I will try to be more aware of it the next time I drive, walk or bike.

This year’s competition will be held the weekend of May 2-4.

This will be my first big film project in a while – its been years of vacation filming and the occasional music video for a local band. So, I am very excited to be part of a larger and more organized project. The last time I participated in the production of a real short film had to have been in college.

Although, I am not heading the team, I am happy to be a part of one. I will keep posting updates. If anyone else is participating, let me know!
