in honor of the theatrical re-release of THE DEVILS, here is my reference book essay on the film and its sources, published in 2018 (a Gale title called Books to Film Vol. 1; there was no Vol. 2). Glad that many will finally be discovering this singular movie - www.academia.edu/45400346/The...

Much screechier / chirpier than I would have expected. I learned from Dollywood about the dubbing of the red-tailed hawk over eagles in movies!

I do a lot of light-weight video editing for teaching: trimming scenes, extracting clips, cutting out material, etc. I hate to fire up a full blown editor every time, so I made this browser-based tool. Your video stays local, 100% private. Nothing touches the server. Plus, it's easy to host.
ezvid.samplereality.com
ezvid – quick, private video cuts in your browser
Extract, trim, cut out sections, join and convert videos without uploading anything. Runs entirely in your browser.

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

Today is the 10th anniversary of GameSpot After Hours! The live stream that the GS crew was able to pull off in 2006 was so impressive. Watching from home felt like being at the party. And it was the first time I learned about Midnight Brown. www.gamespot.com/videos/games...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I can’t imagine being a local business advertising on Instagram and not including your location as a part of your profile. Where is this brewery? Where is this ski resort? Where is this deli? Do they not know their audience is barely being geo-targeted?

After making my students do all their writing in class last semester, I brought back some outside writing this semester. Huge mistake. There's so much AI, and since there's no way to conclusively prove it's AI (and since my university is all-in on encouraging AI use), I'm just stuck grading slop.

Not satisfied with merely asking people questions, nor satisfied with themed interview topics, we've invented odd formats for interviewing people. On a subway, in a coffin, eating hot wings, on an awkward date, tagging along on a commute, while drawing... What would be some other good ones?

In June, Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. A month later, European diamonds got an exemption from Trump’s tariffs. We don’t know where the ring is today. Where did it go? Did Trump keep it for himself?

Limited Edition OREOS Deep Fried review. I LOVE fried a OREO. It’s my great fair indulgence. This is an approximation of that flavor. I like the mix of chocolate and white crème fillings. But there’s just no way to capture the real thing. I’ll say… four stars because it’s still an OREO.
