Where I Be
So...
You've probably noticed that this blog is now called BillColrus.com. Enough fretting about names. It is done. And so it shall be.
So what is to be done with this blog?
I am doing a lot of work behind the scenes right now (kinda like at The Pulse) getting material ready for mass consumption.
I am working on some essays, which will find their intial home on this blog. The essays will be highly personal -- often (dare I say) funny -- being, frankly, the most fun kind of material for me to write. They will also often be accompanied by pictures.
I am preparing five years worth of video clips that will soon be available for viewing on this site. Right now I'm in the "testing bit rates" stage, with hopes of maximizing quality AND speed for those of you with nothing better to do than watch video clips of my stuff. You shall be rewarded.
I am preparing an audio stream of the hour-long Christopher Guest radio biography that I did at WUTC in 1998(?). The program was an independent study project under the supervision of current WUTC station manager John McCormick. OK, well, he didn't really supervise me. He just let make something fun for college credit. (I think my topic selection puzzled him some, too.) There are some great clips in the program going back to Guest's National Lampoon days. I must've spent $100 tracking down mint copies of National Lampoon vinyl for that show...
I almost sent the stupid thing out on satellite to other NPR stations, but it would've cost too much and I wasn't completely satisfied with the end results -- at least not enough to broadcast it all over the globe. But things change as years pass...
This site will also become home for my future "extracurricular" projects, like the short film I'm sketching out right now. Think Ken Burns meets bad band press photos.
As with all things I talk about doing (like the long overdue "On The Other Hand" DVD), progress is based on time. I'll get to it when I get to it, but I hope to get to it all soon.
