Damn, this is intense. And a good reminder that those dots you’re watching on CNN/Fox/MSNBC are actual people; people who are hurting, people in danger and people who are being killed.

Crazy cool video of urban explorer Steve Duncan. Funny though, the whole time I’m watching this I’m thinking “I wonder what that was shot with?”
Read and hear more about Duncan:
Every day the sun comes up
I’d love to talk about Election Day, the madness, the highs and lows and all of the bits in between. But we’re just getting a breather here. I will say this, we were incredibly busy for 36 hours, our site looked hot and it was an exciting election to be a part of an online media team.
The prospect of handling another recount here in Minnesota is something we’re not exactly looking forward to, but ready to make the best of it.
For now, enjoy this video about imagining the future of digital media surfaces.

Social media and journalism
Yeah, that’s about right.

Behind the scenes at MPR
MPR’s Bob Collins put together this little video of a behind-the-scenes look at the afternoon program All Things Considered and producer Jeff Jones.
Nice work.
Leapin’ lizards!
Slap chop is win!
This is honestly the most entertaining thing I’ve seen all day. Bonus appearances from Turbo and Ozone.
‘EPIC 2014′, revisited
It’s interesting how much of this video, made back in 2005, is starting to come true. Will they save the journalism industry? With today’s unveiling of the Google Android phone, Google continues it’s “epic” growth over the media landscape.
And I for one welcome our new media overlords and look forward to toiling away in their underground research labs.
Also of interest is the NYTimes profile of HTC and its founder, Cher Wang. Gives a little bit of insight on why Google chose HTC (and HTC chose Google) for the hardware of their phone. Investors, start throwing your money at HTC stock now, if you have any left that is.
P.S. And to further prove my point of the impending Google take over, I switched my theme to a Google Chrome-based one that was available about a day after Google Chrome debuted.
ABC News producer arrested in Denver (video)
You’ve probably already heard about this, but now there is video of the ABC News producer who was arrested in Denver.
The video doesn’t lie, these cops were aching to arrest someone. Pushing someone into the street and then telling them they are “blocking traffic” is just ridiculous. I am curious about what happened between the cut of cop pushing then suddenly the guy, identified as Asa Eslocker, is arrested.
Hmm, I wonder how much of this we’ll see in St. Paul next week.
Jay Rosen on the political conventions
Overnight at the Sentinel
My friend, former colleague and Orlando Sentinel Web producer Matt Simantov recently (and may still be) spent many an hour working as Tropical Storm Fay passed over Florida. Simantov, he also of Control Freak fame, made this short, hip little music video that I thought I’d share.
Sure, it’s not news but it’s fun, lighten up people!
