What a great idea. The interviews can all be seen &lt;a href="http://videoblast.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu/vlogs/show/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I was assisting as interviewer, and it was a great experience! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a &lt;a href="http://videoblast.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu/videos/wintershow2006/gilad.mov"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href="http://giladlotan.com/projects/newswheel.htm"&gt;World News Wheels&lt;/a&gt;, by &lt;a href="http://giladlotan.com/"&gt;Gilad Lotan&lt;/a&gt; and Ariel Efron, which emphasizes the parallel between the traditional act of prayer (and the spinning of the tibetan prayer wheels on a daily basis) and watching the news. Each time a prayer wheel is spun, a different video from various news websites is triggered and projected above the prayer wheels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also this &lt;a href="http://videoblast.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu/videos/wintershow2006/rob.kate.mov"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;, for the &lt;a href="http://www.botanicalls.com/"&gt;Botanicalls&lt;/a&gt;, which is a service for plant and human communication (also recently shown on &lt;a href="http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/archives/2006/12/rb_06_dec_19.html"&gt;this episode&lt;/a&gt; of Rocketoboom)...Or how about the &lt;a href="http://videoblast.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu/videos/wintershow2006/younghyun.jaewook.mov"&gt;interactive puppet theater&lt;/a&gt; by Younghyun Chung &amp; Jaewook Shin?

Here is a bit of the message that I got from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Jazeera_International"&gt;Al Jazeera International&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;#34;The Listening Post', is a weekly programme that will take a long hard look&lt;br /&gt;at the global media - how the news is reported, what the big stories of the&lt;br /&gt;week are, what the small quirky stories are and most importantly what the&lt;br /&gt;world thinks of how certain news is reported. The programme will be&lt;br /&gt;broadcast on Al Jazeera's new English language channel, Al Jazeera&lt;br /&gt;International.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am producing a feature of the programme called Global Village Voices, this&lt;br /&gt;is where we hear from people all over the world about what they think of the&lt;br /&gt;media. We want people to contribute via video and the internet with comments&lt;br /&gt;of one to two minutes. This is where you would come in shopuld you be&lt;br /&gt;interested. We want to get a perspective from as many angles as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Jazeera International is a new channel that is being broadcast from&lt;br /&gt;London, Washington, Kuala Lumpar and Qatar. It is english language (despite&lt;br /&gt;being Arab funded) and may go some way to balancing the western media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Global Village Voices will include video comments vlog style. Its is our&lt;br /&gt;philosophy here that we get a representative and balanced range of people&lt;br /&gt;rather than high quality footage (the rest of the programme is shot on HD).&lt;br /&gt;I am producing a piece this week on the media and Iran.&amp;#34;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i must apologize for the awful editing job, there are a lot of jump cuts, and I am not sure what they will end up using--but this is what I sent to them. Before I sent anything they told me they will only be airing 20 or 30 seconds of it, and wanted only a few minutes of commentary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://marashivlog.blogspot.com/2006/09/al-jazeera-video-requestthe-media-and.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Paris Marashi)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30578226.post-115797940188705176</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Sep 2006 12:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-11T08:56:41.896-04:00</atom:updated><title>Now that I am back in the US</title><description>I only just started videoblogging this year.

We used &lt;a href="http://freevlog.org"&gt;freevlog.org&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://node101.org"&gt;node101.org&lt;/a&gt; (and many other resources--thanks so much to all of you wonderful people out there), and came up with a new community vlog to get people started: &lt;a href="http://vloginiran.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;http://vloginiran.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This videoblog is going to be a place for people to begin uploading their videos as they learn about videoblogging, and it can act as a collective videoblog for a number of people to post video to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked about many things besides videoblogging as well... For example, we talked about Wikipedia, Web Syndication, Creative Commons, and how to learn about other vloggers and the vlogging community, through sites such as&lt;br /&gt;http://community.vlogmap.org/&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------Translation:&lt;br /&gt;Aha!

However, in Tehran, people are likely to pick you up and drop you off to where you need to go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you can see in this video, I wanted to get into a cab, but I didn't find one going my way. So we just got into someone's car. They just picked us up, and dropped us in the direction we wanted to go (since it was on their way)...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are also plenty of people who drive around town, pick people up, and get paid to do it (with their own cars). Usually people will say, it is free &amp;#34;ghabel nadareh&amp;#34; or it is not worthy of you, and then you say, no really, how much can I pay. Then they will tell you how much. This happens all the time, no matter where you go shopping. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#34;how much?&amp;#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#34;ghabel nadareh&amp;#34; (it is not worthy of you)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#34;No thanks, really.&amp;#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#34;400 Tomans please.&amp;#34;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://marashivlog.blogspot.com/2006/07/hitching-rides-in-tehran-watch-video.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Paris Marashi)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30578226.post-115398717289295423</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Jul 2006 07:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-07-27T03:59:32.896-04:00</atom:updated><title/><description>&lt;h3 class="post-title"&gt;A superstition I can live with&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;center&gt;    &lt;a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/ParisMarashi-ASuperstitionICanLiveWith936.MOV"&gt;     &lt;img src="http://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/ParisMarashi-ASuperstitionICanLiveWith688.jpeg" border="0" /&gt;    &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;  &lt;center&gt;    &lt;a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/ParisMarashi-ASuperstitionICanLiveWith936.MOV"&gt;Watch the video&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blip_description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;At least once a week, my grandmother will burn esfand (Peganum Harmala) for the family. The smoke smells really nice, acts as an antiseptic, and is also said to rid the effect of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_eye"&gt;evil eye&lt;/a&gt;. Rather than harming the person, any bad energy is said to be cleansed away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also customary to burn esfand at weddings. Last night I went to a wedding, where this gentleman circled the esfand around my head before putting it into the fire. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://marashivlog.blogspot.com/2006/07/superstition-i-can-live-with-watch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Paris Marashi)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30578226.post-115372196790760574</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jul 2006 06:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-07-24T02:19:27.946-04:00</atom:updated><title/><description>&lt;h3 class="post-title"&gt;Hangin out with my great Aunt&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;center&gt;    &lt;a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/ParisMarashi-HanginOutWithMyGreatAunt867.MOV"&gt;     &lt;img src="http://blip.tv/uploadedFiles/ParisMarashi-HanginOutWithMyGreatAunt359.jpeg" border="0" /&gt;    &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;  &lt;center&gt;    &lt;a href="http://blip.tv/file/get/ParisMarashi-HanginOutWithMyGreatAunt867.MOV"&gt;Watch the video&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blip_description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ameh Akram is my mom's aunt (my grandfather's sister).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dialogue&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[the US] was very fun...and if i wasn't so old and if they were to ask me to go back [to the US] I would go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am afraid that if I go back something might happen to me...Or if they were to put me in a nursing home...
