November is Movember, but it's also NaVloPoMo National Video Blog Posting Month & NaBloPoMo - National Blog Posting Month - the former means you have to post a video each day of the month and the latter means you post a blog entry each day. there's other projects such as National Novel Writing Month where you write a section of a book each day. I'm trying NaVloPoMo, which inherantly means I'm also doing NaBloPoMo. be interesting to see if I make it to the end of the month. I'm not sure how long it takes to form a habit - 21 days? 42 days? I'd love to see some friends do this also!!
(I guess the National means USA? not sure.. there's people around the world doing it anyway so perhaps it should be InVloPoMo to reflect the International nature of it)
Not So Pretty @ Hope and Anchor, Islington, London - 3 of 3
the song is Dunno - from their myspace page. they played this song as part of their set. this is a photo slideshow using photos taken during their set. apologies - some are blurry as the guys move around a lot during their set!
Not So Pretty played @ Hope and Anchor, Islington, London 27/10/2007 - 1 of 3
I liked their sound, and thought they had a great look for performing. I was standing a bit close to the speakers so the audio is a bit distorted in the video. it sounded good on the night though.

this is my NaVloPoMo 03 video - my PKD interpretation of nature vs city. I took the video last weekend (27/10) though I made the video tonight. I was staying in Eastleigh in South of England, and caught the train up to London to see my friend's band play in Islington.
it runs 5:26 (including titles at the end) - 20.7Mb
music is Autumn Leaves (Irresistible Force mix) on ZEN RMX (ninjatune)
navlopomo07 02 video - today I was picked up from Eastleigh and driven to the airport & flew from heathrow, UK to tel aviv, Israel. the driver picked me up and brought me to Jerusalem. so this video shows some of the countryside (rocky hills) and jerusalem stone buildings along the drive. we went a back road past Modi'in rather than the main highway through the mountains as the traffic was heavy alog the main highway. the last part of the trip is one of the routes I take home each day, although it's usually dark by then.
I'm attempting to participate in NaVloPoMo07 this month by posting a video each day. my response to Cheryl's first post, which was timely considering it's Movember
Vlog Europe is on this weekend, but they've just posted a link to the site where they'll be streaming some of it live - video of course! and a chat channel. the schedule looks good. they're going to talk about software, personal media, videoblogging and it's effects on big media, videoblogging and making content not money
Olam Qatan is a spiritual books and world music store in Emek Refaim St, Jerusalem, Israel. I spoke briefly with it's owner Ya'qub ibn Yusuf, who explained some of the music and books available in his store. Sounds like there's a fusion of East meets West happening in Israel and Turkey, which is really interesting to hear. It's great to speak with Independant store owners - their passion for music & books is contagious and it's great to discover new sounds and genres.
this is the view of the Dead Sea where highway 1 & 90 meet, East of Jerusalem. I stopped for a drink and to take a photo. then I drove down as far as Meseda - will have to go back another day to see more as I only stayed on the highway this trip. the desert is amazing - layers of beige. I was expecting lots of sand, but the countryside seems to be quite rocky. perhaps further inland there's sand.
