Ze Frank Videos

Today we'll be discussing Legos, Robots, iPods, Bananas, and Copyright. Anythings fair game in this episode.

Time.com has grown its video viewership five times in the last year in part by producing unusual and interesting videos that you won't find on a nightly newscast, including a new partnership with popular Web star Ze Frank, the site's Craig Duff, director of multimedia, told us.Frank is best known for his project "The Show" and he continues to be well-regarded as an important early Web video pioneer. For Time.com, Frank has been producing "That Makes me Think Of," an essay series that plays off the week's news. Frank has produced six episodes since June and Duff said he hopes to continue running the essay series on Time.com.Duff explained in a separate email exchange how his affection for Frank's work began. While Duff was working on a fellowship in Cairo in 2006 and 2007, "The Show" was one of his few connections to the United States."I watched it every day, even sharing it occasionally with some of my English-speaking students. I can probably even sing from memory some of the songs he performed on that series," Duff recalled. "I secretly wanted to go to the pyramids and shoot a video of myself saying 'Good Morning, Sportsracers!' (As you may recall, that was the greeting to every episode of The Show, and viewers often submitted their own versions.) But I never got the nerve -- or the time -- to do that."Instead, he struck a business relationship with Frank this summer and the deal is emblematic of where Duff wants to go with Time.com."It's part of a strategy to really enjoy the quirkiness that works well on the Web, while still offering solid information and thoughtful analysis. I love to laugh and I love to learn. And I think the combination of the two really packs a punch," Duff said.

It's been a year since my proverbial head bump on the bathroom sink causing a vision of the flux capacitor (a la Doc of Back to the Future). Only my head bump was a day with no customers at the restaurant and my flux capacitor was Wheezy Waiter.Special thanks to Ze Frank, Ryan Wolff, Andy Garfield (my boss at my editing job back in Madison), Ashleigh (for introducing me to Ze Frank) and all of you.WARNING: movie may contain scenes too genuine for some viewers.

There was a ton of material during the discussion and Q&A portions of Core77's Offsite event, Design, Wit, and the Creative Act, but we've put together a tasty sampler of some of the best.

The videos of Core77's Offsite event, Design, Wit, and the Creative Act, are up! Held at the Art Directors Club in New York City on November 9th, the day featured Moderator Ze Frank, Kidrobot's Paul Budnitz, writer/editor Steven Heller, technologist Kelly Dobson, and artist Tobias Wong. (Well, almost Tobias Wong--you'll have click on the link to find out more.) Check out the little video taste above, then delve into the main dishes below: Ze Frank (5 min.) Paul Budnitz (11 min.) Steven Heller (7 min.) Kelly Dobson (13 min.) Tobias Wong (*)

Welcome to another Wasted Moment, by the exile of the ZeFrank board. Well not exactly exile, but the least talked about there. I decided to go with a theme that was going on at the website, and so I did a one shot video where I discuss the male condition. What it means to be a man. A few contractions to what the general ideas of what men are. I hope someone out there enjoys it. It took a while to get it all in the one long shot after all. Then when I had it done, there would oddly be some background noise that made me throw the old one out. http://wastedmoment.blogspot.com/

This clam was bold enough to announce The Show with Ze Frank. Alas, it was never used.

Last week, Geek Girl got to intro Ze Frank's the show! Woot! I discuss schwag vs. personal peripherals. I give an in depth review of ThinkGeek's snowbot. Finally, I give a wow tip from Karl. Send me your WoW tips, introduce yourself, questions, comments, and tell me if you were a superhero, what would your name and super power be? Email: geekgirl(at)clevermedia(dot)com. Thank you for my candy hearts! My favorites where <3 of Gold and DDR Star ^_- Danki!

This week Andrew Baron and Joanne Colan visit our studio to discuss politics, statistics and the future of media. You can catch Rocketboom every weekday morning at http://www.rocketboom.com.

In this episode Geek Girl goes to Majesticon and interviews Colorado's revered Queen Geek, Dana Cain. She organizes conferences in the area, and you can check out upcoming events at danacain.com I challenge viewers to articulately discuss in the comments section of GeekGirl.TV when Star Trek jumped the shark, if ever. Please share your opinion. I also dress up my cat in an absurd pink tutu princess dress, in lieu of dressing up myself. I recommend the Ducky Horror Picture Show, a Galacticast (Galacticast.com) spoof of ze frank. I read Karl's comment. And finally, as a special treat, I show one fanatical comic book seller's answer to the super hero question. He was funny, so you'll see more of his interview some other time. As always, send me an e-mail at geekgirl(at)clevermedia(dot)com, and tell me if you were a superhero, what would your name and super power be? Or just tell me what you like, and don't like about the show, so I can make it better. ^_- until next week!

For those in the know: Have you ever wondered what the "typical" ZeFrank fan is like? Have you found yourself wondering if they are all as odd and out of place as you feel? Ask no more, I have the answer. Yes!For those who have "no idea what's going on": All will be revealed in this illuminating video about Internet celebrities. And our cunning linguist will introduce us to the word metonym which we will then use incorrectly.Speaking of Internet celebrities, if you haven't yet discovered ZeFrank, please check him out. At this point, he either requires no more love or has an insatiable need for love that can never be satisfied. please enjoy PodTech.net's Geek Entertainment TV whose buttons you will see on the Running Fool's jacket. I also would like to introduce a brand new Internet celebrity in his debut online performance (not going to comment on his off-line performances), American Leatherman 2006, Rusty Jones. Keep an eye on Rusty. He'll be back and pandemonium will ensue at his Pandemos Salon! (Heather evidently needs a makeover.)...Stay tuned for Running Fool in Seattle - Part Two: Running Fool Tells All, where we will discover what Ze is like behind the scenes...

Ze Frank has a posse. That posse is known as Sports Racers. One Sports Racer by the name of RunningFool, or Luke as his parents might call him, is in the midst of tossing himself off from Sports Racer to Sports Racer in an attempt to travel across the United States. Completely organized from the forum of Ze Frank's website, RunningFool is traveling like a human baton with the help of 300 fellow Sports Racers. Irina catches up with RunningFool as he passes through the San Francisco Bay area. Several other Sports Racers show up and are counted.

My snow day was like a National Lampoon movie except without the hilarity. If you like depression with a little cynicism thrown in and snow days, you'll love this video!

Nicholas Quixote has a talk with Buns and Chou Chou, and informs them that they WILL be attending the Vloggies, an award show for VLOGS, or Videoblogs.? Naturally,this makes them a bit nervous.
