The Resurgence of Micropods

Friday, April 6th, 2007

I’m almost done school for the semester and I have to say that it’s been a busy one. Micropods will be back shortly, but in the meantime watch a video I created this semester:

Little London Barber Shop: The story of a man who lived the fast life, found love in another country and settled down in the land of opportunity, Canada.

High Res is about 66megs (recommend to download)
Low Res is about 27megs (streamable)

If all else fails with the players just download the videos. :)

Bopsta chat: SoSquirrely (Chad and Dawn) Part 1

Saturday, January 6th, 2007
“I’m from Mississippi, not from Kentucky” - Chad
I spoke with Dawn and Chad of SoSquirrelly from bopsta. I talked to them about their relationship living in Germany and how they met online. I also specifically asked Chad about his reaction to a bopsta member’s comment about his gender (to that bopsta member: You know who you are =P). We had a really good conversation that lasted about 50 minutes, but I had to cut down the chat to 25:08. I think I will post the other half sometime later, because we touched up on some interesting subjects. Oh and Chad, I had to keep in the Euro to US conversion subject. That was too funny to leave out.

“How did we go from video games to cocaine?” - Jozef

Warning: Explicit Content

So this is a chat I wanted to have before my friends and I started writing the first two episodes of Creative Jao. Creative Jao is just an online series that will deal with online collaboration and meeting people online as well. It’s going to be great. After we did this little chat, we started brainstorming ideas. I have to to say that we came up with really good ideas.

The podcast was supposed to organize some ideas and elaborate on how we will approach Creative Jao, but we ended up talking about a wide range of topics. lol Anyway, I made a time line outline so you don’t have to listen to the whole podcast if you don’t want to.

bopsta chat: Mica Prazak (Papafly Productions)

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

“Is it Parzak or Prazak?” - Jozef

“Prazak: P-r-a-z-a-k” - Mica Prazak

Visit: http://www.papafly.blogspot.com

Papafly Productions is headed by one man. His name is Mica Prazak. He has been a contributer to bopsta since the first rock music video competition. His videos are unique and creative. He has entered three videos into competition and each one has come up number one landing him with three bopsta gold medals.I managed to have a good chat with Mica this evening. Despite the audio problems and the 5 second sound delay, I would have to say this bopsta chat turned out better than I expected. I had to edit a few parts to this chat/interview to make sure the sound delays were non existent. You will notice some audio cuts in some areas. You have no idea how hard it is to edit audio. It was hard to distinguish waveforms from one another.

Anyway, Enjoy!
