Wheelchair softball

Last week I wrote a story about a nationally-ranked wheelchair softball team.... and then I interviewed two of the players on TV a few days ago. You can watch the video clip here.

The guys from the team have challenged the Globe newsroom to a wheelchair softball scrimmage. They said they'll lend us wheelchairs to use in the game. I'm recruiting my colleagues to play.....and hopefully we'll hold a little exhibition game in August.

"From the computer screen to the big screen"

One of my videos has been selected to screen at this festival:

June 9th & 10th
American Film Institute (AFI)
Los Angeles, California

The invitation came out of the blue.

I was contacted by a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern California, who said she had stumbled across my videoblog and liked one my clips. She thought it fit with one of the festival's themes: "Making the Familiar Unfamiliar: The Importance of Physical Place in the Vlogosphere."

:-)

....I'm so psyched!
