Rock Band Parteh Footage

Last month, our good friends Sarah Atwood and Zadi Diaz organized a Rock Band party to welcome Rudy and I to Los Angeles. An overwhelming number of awesome people came to the party, and I hadn’t had so much fun since SXSW.

The highlights of my night were singing Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton with Zadi and Felicia Day (video above), as well as forming the band RoboJew 2008 & The Mitzvahs (pictured below) with friends Tara Platt and Yuri Lowenthal (Yuri did the voice of RoboJew in RoboJew vs. Giant Nazi Woman of the SS).

My Speaker Profile on GeekSpeakr

I've joined GeekSpeakr.com

In an effort to get the word out on my availability as a panelist and speaker, I’ve joined GeekSpeakr. I’ve been consistently disappointed with the lack of female voices at web video conferences and hope that GeekSpeakr’s tagline of “connecting tech women speakers to event organizers” will do just that.

Aside from female voices, however, I also have a lot to contribute in general. As someone who’s been working in web video for the past three years (back before the video iPod even existed, to give you some context), I’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t work in new media. And, frankly, I often feel like watching newbies talk about my field is like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Contact me if you have a speaking engagement you’d like me to be a part of. Some of my favorite topics include: Web Video and Copyright Issues; Hollywood and New Media; Internet Fame; Marketing on Social Networks, Video Production and Post Production.

Interviewed for Sexiest Geeks Alive

Sexiest Geeks Alive - Casey McKinnon

Andrew Mager sat down with me in cyberspace last month (does anyone even use that term anymore?) to ask questions about my work and my geek love. It’s one of the most in-depth interviews I’ve done in a while, so if you’re interested in learning how I came to work in new media, here’s your chance.
