My Entries into the "We're Linux" Video Contest

YOUR VOTES MATTER!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: Well, I *really* don't think I stand a chance against the surgeons. But one of the judges, Joe Brockmeier, has referenced a short-list of seven by Steven J Vaughan-Nichols as a good indicator of potential finalists. I'm not Linux, Version 3 made the cut! (I still think Version 1 is the best.)
But wait... No One-Man Band? That dudewas is bad ass. I love that guy. Well, the judges will have ten to choose from, so I hope he's in there. I also like Linux - Make the Switch.
Despite my joking below, I'd really like to cover the Japan Linux Symposium in October. I will be at the first annual LinuxCon in Portland this September, and I think this Autumn would make for a fine Linux Fest in my own life. My love for Linux is what led to my writing at PhoneDog. And while I've lost no love for Android (or for PhoneDog), I feel I've neglected Tux a bit.
Just another reminder - your votes *do* count.
As long as I have your attention: Android fans might like a review I wrote of GMote, which plays nicely with Linux. I'm crossing my fingers for Amarok support, though. [/EDIT]

Hi, everyone. Long time, no update.
I waited until the last minute to get this done, and it definitely shows - especially in the first video. Still, that one's probably my favorite. I think number two could have been scrapped, but I want to take every shot I can. Number three is pretty decent... but number two sucks. Wait... Why did I post number two?
Wish me luck! I'd love to go to Japan and briefly (for like, five minutes) live the life of a lazy computer spokesperson; a la Dell Dude and Mac guy. Do I have to smoke weed for that role? I'd probably forget my lines and curl up on an old bean bag in the corner of the set. John Hodgeman doesn't get a reference here. Nevermind, there he is.
If you like them, please go to my page at the Linux Foundation and vote for/favorite my videos. At first, they said viewer response would have no effect on the judging - but apparently, that's changed. And I don't think it helps that my spots were posted with the wrong aspect ratio.
I'm not Linux, Version 1
