HP Calculator - Lights,Camera,Calculator - Where Did Ya Go

This is a video I did for an HP calculator competion in '07. The rest of the videos submitted were crap... I know i would have won. But they said that I didnt have an actual HP calculator in the film, so it couldnt be used in the judging. WACK. Anyway, I thought youtube deleted it, but nope! so enjoy!

Filmed with: Canon handheld 2.1 megapix

Pics for Cesar

One of my best friends has been a "detainee" for almost a year now, as he waits for the judge to re-approve his release and be given political asylum. He asks me to send him cartoon characters/music/books/$$ and all that. I send him mad pics of cartoons so that he can draw and make some $$ while inside. Here is just a snippet of some of the stuff I sent him in the last letter. Big ups to my boy CESAR... you going to be out soon hermano!

Free Food Ashram - India

These photos came from an NYtimes article on an ashram in India that serves food to over 1,000 people daily for free. 3 Meals served daily! Everyone volunteers, men and women work side by side. I traveled to India and great places like this show why I loved this country so much! (the image below i remember mentioned these men working around the clock, almost all are walking barefoot)
