Doesn’t look like the part that actually has me in it is on this version, but you can see some shots of OVC in there. Will dig around the footage I tivo’ed this AM and see what pops up.
Live tweeting
Live tweeting my morning of appearances on morning shows to promote onlinevideocontests.com - right now at WPIX on 42nd street.
This is the “Making Of” video for the music video I directed that’s coming out tomorrow! (featuring my boy Doug Cheesman and youtube celeb Caitlin Hill)
I made it at the last second, delerious from lack of sleep, and I think it shows … which means you should check it out.
And ‘like’ it. If you like it. Music video tomorrow!

Ross Perot gets a lot of shit, but you should really check out his Wikipedia page. He’s had an absolutely crazy life, from working at IBM, to making multiple fortunes, to paying commandos to storm Iran, to owning the Magna Carta, to running for president.
Seconded, for tidbits like this:
In 1974 Perot gained some press attention for being “the biggest individual loser ever on the New York Stock Exchange” when EDS shares dropped $450 million in a single day in April 1970.[7]
Just prior to the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the government of Iran imprisoned two EDS employees in a contract dispute. Perot organized and sponsored their rescue. The rescue team was led by retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel Arthur D. (‘Bull’) Simons. When the team couldn’t find a way to extract their two prisoners, they decided to wait for a mob of pro-Ayatollah revolutionaries to storm the jail and free all 10,000 inmates, many of whom were political prisoners. The two prisoners then connected with the rescue team, and the team spirited them out of Iran via a risky border crossing into Turkey. The exploit was recounted in a book, On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett, which became a best-seller. In the 1986 miniseries, Perot was portrayed by Richard Crenna.
THE MORE YOU KNOW!
Dell purchased his company today.
I recall reading that he was indeed in the lead for a point in his presidential run, before dropping out and coming back again. He wanted to put an electronic box in every American’s home and spontaneously poll them about policy decisions. I thought that was pretty effing rad.](http://6.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqc3x4bLxy1qz4dqwo1_400.jpg "mikehudack:
