A few weeks back on NPR’s On the Media there was an interview with Ze Frank (pronounced Zay). Each day Ze produces a short 1-3 minute video ranting or raving about something or other, but I had a tough time finding the link from his regular site..
I happened to find another reference to our man Ze just today pointing to his vidcast, and I must say it’s certainly entertaining.
One of the more recently referenced items in his vidcast is a song written by “Ray.” After doing a little research, I found who this Ray character is.. Supposidly, he wrote this song dedicated to his daughter who had a bad day at work. He recommends listening to it when you’re having a bad day at work (or even sing it to yourself) and you’ll gather the strength to get through the day.
In any event, I think that his vidcast is an amateur masterpiece (much more-so than our friend Lonely girl). He’s an interactive Jon Stewart, often asking his viewers to help out with intros, segments, etc. One of his more well-known antics is the “Earth Sandwich Project” in which he asked his audience to take a slice of bread and coordinate with someone at the exact opposite site of the globe — in effect making an earth sandwich. Clever.
After putzing around with his site for a while, I have to recommend checking out Mr. Frank. His vidcast “The Show” is one-year project that he’s been working on since April. So, tune in — before it goes off the air.
Love the song! Its just what I need at work! But YOU won’t need it – working for Google :>)
