    Late Night Reality Check

    It’s after midnight on the left coast, and though I know I need to go to bed there’s this midnight craving I have, it’s not for chocolate, but more of a desire to share something intimate, something real, and something only I could really add to this blog. Read More

    Recently Jennifer Van Grove and I were approached by Tubefilter News about our new series.  As you know by now we are shooting a pilot and have not yet released an episode.  But Darren Elwood, writer & co-creator, and I have always felt that we have a great concept and a unique approach.  So it’s nice when an established and reputable news source such as Tubefilter.tv considers you news-worthy.

    “For those who vlog, blog, tumble, and tweet, Jenn2.0 is the show for you. For those who don’t, this web series might help you get a clue.” - Tubefilter News

    Jenn2.0 is a show about how to live with the wonderful and sometimes unpredictably invasive new social technologies being made available.  It’s a constant undertone of the show that makes a surprising impact on the plot line.  Read the complete Tubefilter interview here at news.tubefilter.tv.

    “Welcome to the Twitosphere”

    November 5th - San Diego City Beat writer Kinsee Morlan talks about Twitter and how it’s making it’s way into the mainstream in more ways than one.  The article draws a lot of comments from participants who attended the last SDTweetUp, a monthly social gathering of Twitter users that was recently held at the Pearl Hotel.

    And those who are just using Twitter for its fun, social-networking side still seem to be the so-called “early adopters”—people like techies, journalists and PR specialists who are constantly on the lookout for new communications technology. Everyone at the Tweetup at The Pearl that night fell into those categories, but, at least to the techie crowd, it’s a good start.

    The SD TweetUp was started in San Diego by our own Associate Producer and show inspiration, Jenn Van Grove.  Clearly she’s doing something right these days…  shaking all these “tweeting” birds from the trees.   Expect a mention of Jenn’s SDTweetUp in the forthcoming episode of Jenn2.0.

    Pick up the November 5th edition of City Beat for the complete article or find it here on the web.

    Things are starting to move along rather quickly with our web show now. We’ve pretty much completed the casting process, selected our actors, and are now ready to begin production on the pilot episode. It’s all so overwhelming…but in a good way.

    First Audition

    The first video of our casting process is finally up.  Note to you videophobes: unfortunately, not being a part of the NAS crew I am more likely to make dumb mistakes.  Like posting the interleaved MPEG2 version of this video instead of the progressive version.  I’ll do my best to get this swapped out as soon as I can.  - Rob
