Friday links and stuff…

Three of my co-workers are in NYC this weekend for the Open Video Conference and I’m a jealous community media center staffer (I’ll have to brag about what an awesome time I have next month in Portland, OR for the National Alliance for Community Media conference to make them jealous). Fortunately, the OVC is being webcast live all weekend. You can tune in at the VCAM blog. I’m particularly looking forward to Clay Shirky’s keynote tomorrow morning at 10:15.

Between catching sessions on fair use and copyright and open video standards, here are some of the things I’m looking at today…

The brilliant Pixar film, Up, made me weepy, but this made me weepier. (don’t click unless you have tissues handy.)
Here’s a list of all the crap (literally, in some cases) astronauts left on the Moon (that the LRO spacecraft launched yesterday will apparently be taking pictures of soon).
The headline reads: “Thieving Spider-Man with woman’s swimsuit, pink arm warmers caught in own web“
Hmm, apparently rogue magnetars acually *could* cause us problems here on Earth (despite being amazingly far away from us).
Vermont tweep Joe Mescher wants to help unemployed Vermonters make video resumes.
Religious affiliations of super-heroes.
An Arrested Development documentary? Yay!

Please change whatever you changed so that I can read the whole post in my RSS reader again. Truncated feeds are for authors who hate their readers. KTHXBAI
