Watch this video
Watch Cal Hanlon and friends’ “Hello, Love”. It’s part of a campus film festival and every view they get moves them up in ranking.

Obama
Whether you plan to vote for Barack Obama or not, you should really watch this entire speech. This is amazing.
“Barack Obama speaks in Philadelphia, PA at the Constitution Center, on matters not just of race and recent remarks but of the fundamental path by which America can work together to pursue a better future.”
Focus Premiere
Lots of Red Bull at the Focus Skate Magazine premiere of “Rise and Shine”.
Check this video out if you want to see a bunch of local Philly skaters. Get it here.
New Look, New Everything
So I was about to go to bed at 9 p.m. last night because I hadn’t slept for a few days, but then I decided it was time to change the look and content of this website… I ended up going to bed at 9 a.m. instead.
I first want to thank everyone that has written in the Secret Box… it’s really amazing that people actually use that thing and it’s always interesting to see what people have to say. I kind of want to start a whole different website just devoted to that. Maybe I will someday.
Anyway - this whole site looks COMPLETELY different than it ever has, so I’m curious to see what people think of it - let me know!
^ This video has had 1,243,149 views on YouTube this week, bringing my total view count to almost 2 MILLION on YouTube alone. (That doesn’t include any of the views on this website or anywhere else.) Crazy.
- Updated VIDEOS page with a new improvised sketch comedy video (Warning: It is super-awkward, and you may feel uncomfortable watching it.)
- Updated the PHOTOS page with two new albums. The first set of photos were taken in NYC for the band Just Like Me, and the second set was shot in Orlando/Disney World… such a good time. I’ll also be putting together a video of the same trip later on this week, so check back.
That’s it for now, but I’m telling you - I will be posting entries on this thing constantly from now on, sharing anything that I think you’ll enjoy watching or reading. This should be interesting…
YouTube Feature
This is what happens when your video gets featured on the YouTube Homepage:
And this is what happens when you go to Orlando/Disney World for free on the weekend:
…and there’s plenty more where that came from.
BIG updates coming real soon. Check back here for consistent blog posts.
2008 - off to a good start.
New Video (16mm)
I’ve been slacking on the updates because I’ve been way too busy eating all day every day. I posted the clip of the 16mm film I mentioned in the last post, so check it out on the videos page. Speaking of the videos page, I just spent like 2 hours fixing it… I thought it would only take 10 minutes. It’s 4:45 a.m. and I probably won’t be getting to bed for another 3 or 4 hours. This is my normal sleep schedule for about 50% of my life. It’s pretty weird. More stuff coming in a week or two…
Contest Results and New Videos
I was basically over this sidekick contest by the second day of voting because some of the finalists were already very well-known and had a ridiculous amount of myspace friends, but I was told today that I won 3rd place, so I’m definitely psyched on that… I got $2,500 and a new sidekick out of a couple hours of enjoyable work. I said I would eat a $100 bill if I got 1st place, and I may still do it even though I’d be taking a much bigger chunk out of my 3rd place check… We’ll see how I’m feeling when the money is in my hand.
Thank you so much to everyone who voted. It’s a shame it had to be a contest ruled by votes, but you all pulled through and helped me get this extra chunk of cash. Honestly, I only voted on the first day because I just didn’t care enough, so to the people who voted every day - you are amazing. Thanks.
In other news, for some reason my Videos page decided to get totally messed up on its own, so right now it looks like a complete mess because I don’t have the time to fix it at the moment. I did have time to add 2 new videos though, both were filmed for punkrockvids and the RX Bandits at the TLA in Philadelphia. Maybe you’ll enjoy them - I tried to make the videos as visually entertaining as possible.
This was pretty much the coldest experience ever.
Well, I’m heading out, and I’m glad to say I have a smile on my face even though the next two weeks are going to be complete hell as the fall semester is ending and I have projects outside of school to take care of too. Moving on…
Updated Video Page
All of the videos on the site are now streaming, so if you ever had trouble viewing a video in quicktime or didn’t feel like waiting for it to load, the problems should now be solved. I have some new stuff coming soon but not quite yet… give it a week.
I wish these colors would last longer:
