Here it is! My first Voice of America video that I wrote, directed, produced, shot and edited myself. It is about the Keely's District Boxing and Youth Center in Washington DC. The center was started by former World Champion Boxer Keely Thompson. The goal is to get at-risk youth off the streets, teach them discipline and help with their schoolwork.

Christmas with Emily's family was great! They must be the most organized group of people I have ever seen. For example, the family Olympics (game day) was carefully planned out. Each of the teams were chosen in advance. It was all laid out on an Excel spreadsheet telling everyone which game they were playing, who they were playing against and when. Each game station was clearly labeled and came with a detailed set of instructions telling how to play and how to score. Afterward, there was a chart for each team to write the score from every game and calculate the team's total. Rebbecca, Rob and I won!

The highlight of the game day, as well as much of the week, was Kat's Wii. That thing is great. Everyone created their own Mii character and played the sports games non-stop. By the way, thanks everyone for the nice gifts.

Check out the videos Emily and I have been making for The Economist!

We do "Politics This Week" and "Business This Week".

Hey everyone... Happy birthday to me!!

Check out my Tim Russert interview on Washingtonpost.com

It's snowing in DC! Emily and I probably have not seen snow since we went to Denver two years ago (not much snow in Florida and Sudan).

The 'Divine Impulses' videos that Malcolm and I have been working on have gone live! The Desmond Tutu videos are the first ones; you can see them here.

I did the shooting (wide camera), editing, motion graphics, color correction, etc.
