Yes, I realize it’s no longer Christmas. I apologize for the tardiness of this video. Due to some technical and time management issues, I haven’t been able to post this until now. Still, I hope you watch it. This is the first in the Mickipedia Show series that really depicts what I’d like to do with the show.
Here’s the gist: I have some really interesting friends. I also like to do off the wall stuff for fun (like touring Southern California with hundreds of drunken santas). So I figure if you mix those things together, you just might get an entertaining variety type show. It’s a bit time-consuming to produce and I don’t have the best equipment but you get the picture. Now I just need some help!
In this first episode, I spend the day with my friend, Jeff Wishnie. Jeff is the Chief Technology Officer at Inveneo. Inveneo is a non profit organization that works to bring communication technologies to the rural developing world. Jeff just returned from a trip to Uganda where they installed solar-powered computers into secondary schools. Jeff rocks. Inveneo rocks. Donate here.

Not enough of that hot guy in the striped pajamas.
“you’re a wikipedia ho?”
LOLLLLLLLLLL
Micki, I don’t say this to many people – but I have the fullest confidence that when you’re old and gray and on your death bed you’ll look back on your life and have the biggest most satisfying grin. You’re really inspiring – just wanted to let you know that.
Love your interview style! The subway, the lap — I really like conversations with two people close together in the same shot, which you don’t see much on TV, but it works well for videoblogs and handheld cameras, and its interesting. You and Jeff are great together — interviewing friends is a really good idea.
I used to see the Santanarchy gangs in Adams Morgan in DC and would be fascinated and a little scared — fun to get an inside look.
This is just another case of no good deed goes unpunished. Here I dedicate my life to making and distributing toys for good, rich, Christian children everywhere in the Western hemisphere, and some interweb jerk makes a movie film mocking my generosity. Were you trying to show me up with that trip to Watts? You think I haven’t been before because I’m afraid? Santa will go to Watts when he’s damn good and ready to go to Watts. It’s nigh impossible to circumnavigate the globe in one night, so inevitably some areas get passed over from time to time. And just to kick me in my saintly nuts, you make some long haired hippie the hero of your show. He brings some computers to a remote village so kids can order stuff that Amazon has no intention of delivering — get a sleigh you hacks! — and then charges them for it, and suddenly he’s the new spirit of Christmas? Bah humbug! I should’ve converted my workshops to produce ecstasy, like the missus suggested in ‘94. I can only imagine how happy the kids would be to see me coming then. On Dancer, on Prancer, on Raver and Twitchin’!
Nice, nice, nice. And naughty. Jeff rocks. I never knew what the hell he did, but I had a feeling it was huge and important. Now I want to go to Uganda and setup wifi in villages. Btw, is it just a coincidence that this post 666?
I think the Santas and the Terrys should have a West Side Story-style gangfight.
