- got a mild electric shock today. I'm okay though. #
- is thinking the Michael Jackson impersonators at Staples Center would fit in quite well with the cosplayers at the Anime Expo next door. #

This year’s site change
With Wordpress 2.7 came a lot of change that I am only now getting used too (still can’t believe threaded comments are built in now). So I decided to change themes to Carrington to better take advantage of these new features along with more plugins like Asideshop and the new Wordpress Mobile Edition ( I still work on getting those two to be a little nicer to each other though).

I talk a little about Watchmen on NBC 4 LA
I was on the NBC 4 Los Angeles local news talking a little bit about the Watchmen film, which was pretty good, and got to show off my tickets over at Universal City Walk. I don’t know much about the original book, but it is considered the greatest graphic novel of all time. The characters look amazing and it seems like they captured all of the best parts of the novel. That being said, some scenes go on and are often overly violent. Still, even if you aren’t a fan of superhero movies, this is still a film to see.

Monetization Models for Video on the Internet
I had a brief discussion with a friend about making money with Internet video. We looked at a couple of business models for a nonprofit to make money online and realized there were a couple of ways anybody could make some money with Internet video. Here are some suggestions for almost anybody to earn revenue from video on the web:
- Take advertising on your site and/or videos. This probably isn’t feasible as a nonprofit (Update: this is possible with a nonprofit), but online advertising revenues will give you a somewhat decent amount of money for the amateur and is the most common video revenue model. In addition to ads on the producer’s website (generally provided by a third-party), most video hosting sites like Youtube or my personal favorite, Blip.tv, allow ads to be inserted before and after videos, and at designated times during the video.

Automatic FTP uploads and downloads using BAT scripts
How to automate FTP uploads from the Windows Command Line – This BAT script uses the FTP command in the command line and automating the actions into a script. The script can then be paired with other processes (like Scheduled Tasks) to create an automated FTP process.

I’m going to DrupalCampLA 2008
So I didn’t make it Wordcamp this year, but instead, I’m going to a local conference for my second favorite content management system, Drupal. Drupal Camp LA is going to be big this year, with a new venue at the Los Angeles Convention Center. That is very impressive for a community open-source project. I’m currently using Drupal for an internal Urban League project and plan on using for a couple of other web sites.

Los Angeles Urban League Blogs
My latest social media projects for the Los Angeles Urban League have been two blogs. One is targeted to adults who want to follow news about the Los Angeles Urban League. The other is a youth-orientated blog for the Youth Center. I’m currently not writing them, but rather helping with the build out and features of the blog. This is the easiest way to move the agency in a more 21st century direction.
