FILM,
VIDEO, PHOTOGRAPHY:
• My
YouTube Sites - Sure, the Vimeos and Revvers of the
world may offer better video performance quality, but Youtube
has the viewers. I have two YouTubes - my old one which in addition to having professional projects and demo reels, also hosts some of my personal video blogging of mountain bike trips, live music and family stuff. My newer YouTube site is dedicated solely to professional use on behalf of Boulder Video Design. Lots to see at both. Now go and watch stuff, learn stuff, laugh at
stuff then annoy all your friends and send them links.
• Colorado Film and Video Association - CFVA is Colorado’s oldest and largest media production organization. Our members include hundreds of people and businesses who work in all aspects of the production business—video, film, digital media and a wide range of support industries.
Our goal is to strengthen local media production and provide our members a wide variety of educational programs, special events and networking opportunities.
• BIFF - THE BOULDER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, sponsored by the Colorado Film Society, is held annually on President’s Day Weekend in Boulder, Colorado, USA, and has developed a reputation as one of the most influential young film festivals in the U.S., with an extraordinary number of new-but-unknown feature films, documentaries and shorts that have gone on from early screenings at BIFF to significant box-office success and multiple Oscar nominations. Over 13,000 filmmakers, national media, special guests and film enthusiasts attended the four-day BIFF 2008.
• SERAC FILMS - Started freelancing for these folks in May '10 doing some video-editing. Adventure films with a mountain climbing bent and more.
- Cheyenne International Film Fest. A new friend and colleague of mine here in Boulder, Michael Conti, has put together an awesome little film festival up north in the town of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Way the hell in Wyoming you ask? Actually - it's only 90 minutes from Boulder. I'm producing the motion graphics intro to roll before each program too. Stoked. Stay tuned for clips and festival updates here and at my blog.
• Decidio - A Complete Wedding, Corporate Event, and Party Planning Resource. Preferred vendor listed in the Boulder, Colorado Photographers and Boulder, Colorado Videographers section of Decidio
• The Oregon Media
Production Association - Find crew and other info on Oregon production
in film and video here.
• Northwest Film Center.
- A great resource for the indie filmmaker. Classes, programs, festivals, equipment
rentals. Goodness. NW Filmfest going on right now! (November 10-18th). I hope
to have a short showing next year at this time. Stay tuned.
• Internet
Movie Database - Where else are you going to find out
the name of every film David Lynch has made and which actors appeared
in them? Right here.
• Running
From Camera - Came across this link (among 1000 others) on Draplin's
site. It is too cool not to share (well, at least I think so.) So simple is the
idea, but resulting in similar, but beautiful images.
• Video Blogging by Dan Kaufman and Crank My Chain. PDXK-TV.
All things bike, bicycling and bike culture. Outstanding coverage of this years
Cross Crusade Cyclocross Series in Oregon.
• Studio Nemo.
My good friends and colleagues at Nemo Design, specifically Trevor Graves, have
one of the more bad ass photo studios as part of their design shop here in Portland.
Occasionally converts into a bitchin' dancehall too. :)
• Test Drive Videos.
- TDV is one of my clients - a video production company that specializes in delivering
video online. They do it all, concept/scriptwriting/shooting/editing/motion graphics/multiple
file formats optimized for viewing video online.
• HULU - This is the place to go online to watch your favorite television shows
in their entirety. A perfect example of "the future now". Just watched the most
recent Family Guy - where they forget Stewie at home and go on a family trip
to the Grand Canyon. Awesome.
• Filmaka - There
are a lot of these internet movie contests out there... this one seems to be
one of the best. Jesse Blanchard and I just
started pre-production on their current contest: "Smoke and Mirrors". Super stoked
on this one, and stoked to be working with Jesse.
• Panasonic
Video Camera Systems - They make my favorite cameras - both the ones
I own and the ones I REALLY wish I owned. Good shit.
• Barbary Coast Productions - A television production company based in San Rafael,
California - run by a great guy named Jim Schlosser. Jim gave me one of my first
real television gigs out of film school and I spent a season on his crew traveling
around the world working as a P.A. and occasionally as Second Camera. Incredible
opportunity I am forever grateful for. The show I worked on was sold to Fine
Living Network where it currently airs as "Taste for Adventure".
• Stickam - On the cutting edge of Live Independent Internet Broadcasting.
The home of Crank My Chain's Wednesday broadcasts.
• Pirate Satellite TV -
Fellow former DeAnza college alum and producer Jaime Nava has put together a
number of original productions covering music, comedy, film and packaged them
altogether at one website. Some programming has recently been added to local
cable.
This
is how
media
is changing. F-ing cool.
• One photo per day. Some nifty pics displayed here by the folks across the pond at FWA (Favorite Website Award)s. More e-loafing goodness.

SNOWBOARDING, SKIING AND MOUNTAINS
• The Epic Pass - This is how to ski and snowboard in Colorado. Hard to believe that such a pass exists - and that I have one! Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin are all included in this one pass - all for $500. Seriously? Those Mt. Bachelor and Meadows passes are over $1000 - insane. I'm just waiting for the snow to fly. Oh... and they even throw in a pass to Heavenly should you find yourself at Tahoe. This pass is truly "epic" - appropriately named.
• Eldora Mountain Resort - A nice 30-40 minute drive from Boulder, on the mtn above Nederland, Colorado sits Eldora. Not generally known for the volume of snow as other Colorado resorts, due mostly to its proximity to the prairieland and beyond. This last Winter however, it did manage to get a good pack and frequent fluffy days. I actually had my deepest, fluffiest day of the year here for the '10-/11 Season. No complaints at all. In fact, I even got a couple of post-season hiking freshy days here recently - having the place to myself... after leaving my door in Boulder at 3 in the afternoon even! :)
• Valdez, Alaska - An old friend and colleague of mine from Morrow Snowboards, Shon Peterson, was one of the organizers of the King of the Hill, World Extreme Snowboard Contest, held in the Chugach Mountains outside Valdez, Alaska. Along with Scott Liska and Nick Perata - they put on the most amazing contests and crowned Kings and Queens of the Hill. I worked alongside Shon during the '96 and '97 contests. On non-contest days - and I had some of the most exhilarating and amazing snowboard sessions of my life. Valdez is other-worldly.
• Mt.
Bachelor - I was a season pass holder here from '94-'98. Cut my teeth chasing Tullis around the hill at high speed. Still love it and get there
when I can, my first home away from home. :)
• Mt. Baker- finally
cashed in and spent a season here. They have it sooo good. If only Bellingham
wasn't such a difficult place to make a living - I'd still be there. Thanks Gwen
and the Howat family. I will be back!
• Mt. Hood Meadows -
Didn't make a single trip here in the 06-07 season. Ski Bowl was too damn good
- and the mighty Bachelor continued calling as well. Maybe next year I'll find
my way up there and battle the crowds. I did however become a season passholder for the '09-'10 season - which was absolutely pathetic, right up until I moved away in March and it finally decided to dump. Oh well. I'm Epic now baby! :)
• Mt.
Bailey Snowcats - I've long regarded Mt. Bailey as my home away
from home. I've had more bottomless, fluffy days here than probably anyplace
in the world. They were a longtime supporter of my magazine and probably a large reason why I continued to publish for seven years - the perks! They've undergone a few management and personnel changes in
recent years - but the powder is still the same. I think Oz is back on the
scene too - one of my favorite mountain characters and a never-ending supply
of dirty jokes for the time spent riding the cat. The Southern Oregon Secret
isn't a secret any more!
• Hoodoo Mountain Resort -
As small resorts go - it is hard to beat the 'doo. Learned to snowboard here
and still love popping in a few times every year because as their slogan says,
they are: "Steeper, deeper and cheaper".
• Timberline Lodge - Kind of the icon of Oregon skiing, made even more famous by the 70's film The Shining. Year-round skiing and riding, lots of terrain but a little on the flat side.
• Willamette Pass - Another little mom-n-pop ski resort, this one a little over an hour up the mountains from Eugene. This was where I taught snowboard lessons for a season, back in '93. Many amazing midweek days of freeriding the pow here when there were no lessons. Also near where I had my one and only "bigfoot" experience, across the highway at the Jive Bowl.
• Crystal Mountain Resort -
Yet another Washington resort where it is okay to duck the ropes. In doing so
I managed to procure many untracked goodies in the last two seasons. Good spot.
Worth a trip for sure.
• Monarch Mountain -
Kelly and I stumbled upon this place during a Colorado road trip earlier this
year. Wow. How perfect is this place? Exactly - perfect. Small and "Mom
and Pop" like a ski resort should be - but yet huge amounts of terrain -
and that dry, fluffy, Southern Colorado powder. I will be back. Soon.
• Saas Fee, Switzerland - One of my most memorable, out of country snowboard trips. This place is absolutely storybook like. It was exactly how I had always imagined the Alps to be. Stunning.
• Snowboard Magazine -
not to be confused with Snowboard(er) magazine - this is a fresher, more
mature magazine. To pull a quote from their "about" - .."to
educate and to entertain; to bring you, the reader, closer to the elements
which bond members of our community together." You got it. Put together
by snow mag publishing vets Mark Sullivan and Jeff Baker - with design
by Draplin. Good shit.
• Volcano Magazine - I founded a regional snow/skate/music magainze in Bend, Oregon back in the early 90's. I wore a multitude of hats as editor/publisher/designer and printed that fucker for seven years. Didn't get rich, but made so many good friends, rode some incredible pow around the Western U.S. and met some of the musicians of bands I've looked up to over the years. I miss me some Volcano, which is why I keep the spirit of it alive on the mighty Facebook.
• Freeskier Magazine - The magazine for today's freestyle skier. Published by the fine folks at Storm Mountain Publishing, also home of Snowboard. Freeskier is the definitive source for contest updates and other wild two-planker goodies, featuring the most insane skiers ripping today.
• Frequency Magazine-
another damn fine snowboard publication. This one is the coffee table book style
- aka - bad ass printing and super fine paper, a great way to display some of
the finer snowboarding pics from around the world. This one comes straight outta
Bellingham, Washington by another vet - Jeff Galbraith.
• Witt Wear - Bend's
finest handmade, locally-owned, technical snowboard and paddling clothing. Peter
Butsch - keeping it real since the day.
• Bonfire
Snowboarding - My first official job in the snowboard industry.
I met Brad Steward during design school while working at Kinko's in Salem.
Brad brought me in to help design and produce logos, catalogs, t-shirts and
the like. I owe him much gratitude to introducing me to so many folks. Thanks
go out to his Uncle John as welll - now an organic farmer in the San Juans. |

SOCIAL
NETWORKING PATHWAYS
•Facebook -
Funny how many of my "older" friends wouldn't have anything to do with
myspace, but jumped right on board with the Facebook. Now though, my old high
school friends are embarassing me daily with a nonstop barrage of 80's party
hijinx. Love 'em
and hate 'em. :) Currently ranked as the number one most trafficked website. Really?
• Myspace -
Fun for networking with friends like Facebook - but, I'm really here for the
music. To promote my own, keep abreast of my friend's projects... and discover
and keep abreast of the stuff I'm a fan of. Powerful.
• Linked In- Professional
business networking site. I don't use it a bunch, but it has landed me one gig
thus far and seems to be a great way to manage and keep in contact with former,
current and new colleagues.
• Flickr Photo -
My photo sharing site of choice. My favorite thing to do is hit the "next" button
and scroll random Flickr photo pages of people from all over the world.
Amazing.
• My
YouTube Site - Sure, the Vimeos and Revvers of the world may offer
better video performance quality, but Youtube has the viewers. Go now and watch
stuff, learn stuff, laugh at stuff then annoy all your friends. I like how you
go there to watch one thing, then Youtube suggests five others that are related,
which take you down an entirely different road, and so on, and so forth. Before
you know it, and hour has passed and you've just went from learning about old
synthesizers, to watching a vintage Yes video.
• My Vimeo Site -
Frustrated by Youtube's continued "lossy" compression of videos - I'm
starting to post and share things on Vimeo. Looking good. Check it!
• Twitter -
John Cleese summed it up nicely in 2009 - "...users who Tweet are Twats". Comedy.

MUSIC & RADIO
• The Afronauts. I started an afrobeat band here in Boulder last March, and we're now a 9-piece funky african monster. We've got a few gigs booked thus far for Summer 2011. Visit our Facebook, Myspace and homepage to learn more. Boulder musicians are amazing me - thanks guys!
• Pandora -
Yep. virtual internet radio based on a band or song you like, it
dishes up random tracks from that artist plus other similar artists.
Quick. Easy. Slick. It's on about 33% of the time in Studio Keeney
• AllMusic.com -
A great resource to research bands, albums, songs, etc. Pretty comprehensive.
• Mighty Unicorn - This is a band I played in with some Portland friends - all of which I've always looked up to over the years. Members have played in, or do play in, such bands as Sweaty Nipples, Village Idiot, Mommy, Mr. Bungle, The Accused. Brad, Hans, Pat, Kevin and I created the sounds under the Mighty Unicorn monikor. We have a Myspace site, a website and an unfinished album in production.
• Myspace for ETK sounds and music. Four-track dabblings, jam sessions, covers of friends' songs and links to some of my old bands. The one thing Myspace is STILL good for - music networking and sharing.
• Coast to Coast with
Art Bell, George Noory and Ian Punnit. Bigfoot! UFOs! Deja-Vu! Conspiracy theories!
Get the facts here, every night at 10pm - 1190 KEX am in Portland -
the #1 talk radio in the states for a reason. Many a nighttime road trip made
easier and often absolutely perfect thanks to this show.
• KFJC -
Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, CA. They're affiliated with my
film school - and I got hooked. Quality radio from the very special
bubble known as Bay Area College Radio. Ecclectic programming and more.
Good streaming station.
• KZSU - A stone's throw
from the Foothill campus is a little college called Stanford. They also have
a damn fine radio program, worth checking out their stream as well.
• KEXP -
What was once a "college radio" station for the University of Washington
- big money and the nearby Experience Music Project took the station under
its wing. Still good because it is commercial free - but - they do tend to
highlight the more trendy and popular "alternative" bands of today.
Still worth a listen. 90.3 on the dial in the Seattle area also found on the
web.
• Web of Mimicry -
One of my favorite record labels. Owned and operated by former Mr. Bungle guitarist
Trey Spruance. Lots of good stuff here. Specifically Secret Chiefs Trio. Check
it!
• Ropeadope -
Another favorite record label, home to Medeski, Martin & Wood, Critters Buggin
and more.
• Frank Zappa -
The greatest American composer? He probably was. Zappa is one of those artists
that if I could go back in time and see live, he would be at the top of the list.
• The End Records -
Home to bands like Estradasphere, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Voivod and other
fusion and death metal acts. Tough.
• Thrilljockey -
Chicago record label which is home to Tortoise, Sea & Cake, Trans Am and
a slew of others. The artsiest, fartiest label representin' the midwest.
• Mastan Music -
Webcast of Alternative, Americana, Psychedelic, Rock'n'Roll with hosts, Jeremy
Wilson and Sam Densmore. Produced right here in Portland. Cool stuff!
• Trade-Up
Music - Great place to score used music gear in Portland. Nice
used cymbal collections, guitars, basses and miscellaneous items crucial to
instrumentation.
• Voodoo Funk - This is one of THE COOLEST websites I've come across in many
moons. This guy spent years living in Africa, unearthing, saving and collecting
super rare pieces of vinyl from tons of these indie African funk, disco and
pop artists. Lots of music here on the site to download. Soooo badass. This
one is a gem. |

DESIGN GEEKERY
• Viewmaster! -
Yes, they still make Viewmaster 3D viewers. Pretty nifty addition
to any marketing package. My favorite as a kid was the 2001:Space
Odyssey Collection I had. Just as cool today as they were yesterday.
• Design
is Kinky - A Design news website mainly put together by two Australians
and one New Yorker. Tons and tons of great links to hundreds of incredible artists
and designers from around the globe. You can get lost for hours here.
• Design Addict -
Top-notch resources related to modern and postmodern design, with designer and
manufacturer index, virtual exhibitions, interviews with designers, collector
forums, news and an events calendar. Boasts extensive links, which include an
international array of online design magazines, museums and the most comprehensive
list of dealers on the Web.
• AIGA - Thoughtful
design leaders and thinkers moving the profession forward. Membership required.
:)
• Humancar - A Southern
Oregon project. Digidaddy Greenwood Senior's deal. Check Digi-D vid on the site.
• Emigre - One of
my favorite type foundries. Based in Northern Cal. Been using them since I first
layed my hands on a Mac - around 1993.
• Wilderness - Draplin.
Aaron linked up with David Nakamoto and John Phemister to create probably the
most talented trio of Graphic Designers under one roof in Portland, if not the
Northwest. A lethal combo.
• Nemo - Graves,
Bartel and Hotz (and about 40 other folks) keeping it real at their design and
communications shop, also based in Portland. I was employee number one.... before
being lured away by the life of a cameraman many moons ago! I miss you fuckers.

the Beginner. Love this place - so close to my hometown too!

SUSTAINING
AND MAINTAINING OUR GREEN ENVIRONMENT:
• SOLV (Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism) -
Thanks to my affiliation with PUMP (now Northwest Trail Alliance),
I've been able to contribute in a more substantial and meaningful way
to cleaning up after the thoughtless acts of others. Once a year SOLV
sponsors clean up Oregon day with numerous organized work partys cleaning
up section of the Oregon Coast, forests and waterways. My last two
sessions with PUMP we worked in the Tillamook forest and pulled out
an untold amount of trash including, but not limited to: Cars, refrigerators,
washers, dryers, dumped trash bags, countless computer monitors used
for target practice, cans and bottles, shotgun shells, and so on and
so on. An eye-opening experience.
• WEND Magazine -
A damn fine publication based here in Portland that walks the walk and talks
the talk. Their deal? Adventure, Inspiration, Travel,
Activism. Cool shit on surfing, sailing, mountain sports, activism issues and worldwide adventuring.
• Greenpeace. No explanation necessary. Get with their program.
• Surfrider. Again, no explanation should be necessary - but here are their strategic
initiatives:The core activities and campaigns that the Surfrider Foundation uses
to protect our oceans, waves and beaches fall into the categories of Clean Water,
Beach
Access, Beach Preservation and Protecting Special Places. This includes us non-ocean
surfers that take to the mountains to do our surfing. Snow melts and becomes
water and eventually trickles its way to the ocean - thus - making it imperitive
that we administer the same care and love for the snow covered environment that
we do the oceans and waterways. It's all connected people.
• Where does YOUR
electricity come from? We've got to eliminate the coal-burning
for electricity. Wind power. Wave power. Solar power. There are alternatives
- I'm hoping Obama takes this shit seriously and is stepping up.
• Ride yer bike godamnit. :)

WEATHER/SCIENCE:
• Old
Farmer's Almanac - Always good when they predict

volcanic activity. Dig it! |

to becoming an outstanding audio engineer and electronic music artist. His "Hands
