Lot's of Stuff

Hey everybody. Sorry for the delay. Computer has been screwy.

CrushTV is a network and content website for college students, and they are looking for people. Basically if you have work you’d like to show, they want to show it for you on TV or the internet. They claim that this is a fairly high profile Student Producer position: contact them here.

There’s going to be an inter-genre discussion on creativity, sponsored by the Creative Writing Wordsmith’s Guild. It’s going to be next Tuesday March 6^th in Hum 512. They’re looking for people of all backgrounds to talk about writing and creativity and stuff. There’s going to be a Belgian documentary filmmaker Rogier van Eck giving a talk as well. Might be cool.

FCC:

The FCC has just broke their record for the biggest fine ever given. A fine of 24 Million will be handed out to Univision for failing to show the required three hours a week of educational programming for children. They had been saying that soap operas qualified as educational programming, and they have no comment on the fine. The previous largest fine was 9 million to qwest communications international.

Any of you use skype? It’s a voip service, and they just recently began to petition the FCC to allow the wireless carrier to be allowed to be activated on any phone. I think this would be a great thing.

CSB:

Yes, that was my laptop frying last week. The hard drive failed and they’re mailing me a new one, but I did lose my notes for last week. It breaks my heart that the episode got cut off in the middle. For those of you who want to see my show in it's entirety, check out our MySpace. We're working on a new one as we speak, hopefully I can show it in the meeting when we're done.

I just ordered some free business cards for the LA trip and Vegas from Vistaprint.com. The first 250 are free after shipping, it’s a pretty good deal.

I have an announcement for Marta our webmaster: she needs some talent for a shoot. There’s a male speaking role, and one female dance role with no lines. She also needs two or three extras, and a bartender. Applicants need to be available March 21^st between 1-4pm for filming. Contact Marta ASAP if you’re interested.

Finally I remember I had found a cool page that had a bunch of streaming TV sites. I've looked around, but I can't find it again. I found this one, which is pretty cool though.

Sorry I missed Holy Cow, hope you guys had fun. I saw The Host instead, which was excellent. Take care until next time.
