My first video I ever did on youtube
This video "Firewatchers" is by Andrew Buckle, who also did the Welfare State video that had won honors in the UK. He is also a very talented lyricist with Project Bluebird. I wrote this song, words and music after a psychiatrist told me bipolar labeled people have an evolutionary purpose.

Martin Luther King's Last Speech about being on the mountaintop and these words about "the right to protest far right":

--J. Robert Oppenheimer

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

Ah! I finally was able to play "Girl from the North Country". I really like the unusual sequence of notes you choose to come down from the high note. I'm glad MySpace wasn't actually blocking it.
Great photo! I took some today but it was so overcast not that great. Hope MySpace doesn't block my account for commenting back to ya. They've done that two days in a row now saying I was sending spam. Gaht!
