I cannot believe that this is actually happening.
Worlds colliding!!
Yesterday Hannah got to hang out with Diana and Michael of Geek Crash Course and Marc of New Media Weekly and Jeff Koenig of OMFGeek and Drifter.
New Media Weekly Interview Part 2!!
Thank you for having us in for the interview Marc!
We are grateful for Tee of PNT Tv for this lovely interview! They are lovely hosts to our series and we are amazed at their support and enthusiasm!
“ So for the last couple of months I have had the pleasure of hosting the short lived web mini-series, “Dates Like This” on our parent website, PNT Tv. As you all know I hardly ever conduct interviews with the cast or crew of webseries, however I have to emphasize how gracious the creative team of Leigh Poulos and Hannah Vaughn have been throughout their very fascinating and intriguing series.
The absolutely originality of their storyline was the catalysis of the success of their show and its what has their fans clambering for more (including me). It is a shame that a show of this quality if not quantity, should be gone. Especially with the advent of the lightening growth of this medium it has caused a clutter of unoriginal, uninspiring and poorly run productions that are choking the pipeline blocking shows like this from gaining the audience they deserve.
So when one does get through as DLT did it is no wonder why audiences are tapping their keys and shaking their fist at their screens with the news of a no go on a season 2. The following is my interview with creators Hannah and Leigh…”
New Media Weekly Interview!!! Awesomeness!!!
Thank you Marc for having us in and chatting with us!
BREAKING: Obama Backs Gay Marriage
from Huffington Post:
WASHINGTON — In a nod to a dramatic shift in public opinion, Barack Obama on Wednesday became the first sitting president to announce his support for same-sex marriage.
In a sit-down interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts, Obama completed what has been a markedly long and oft-mocked evolution on the matter.
“I’ve always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly,” Obama told Roberts, in an interview that will air in full on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday.
“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,” he said.

“On the other hand, his willingness to take a controversial position at what some would call the riskiest time to do so does raise the question of what he would be willing to do to support the community when re-election wasn’t at stake — perhaps in terms of issues besides marriage, even. With this announcement, Obama has made history as the President to most actively and explicitly support the queer community in the controversy which most Americans think of when they think of gay people. Depending on how the 2012 election goes (and, in part, how this announcement is received), he may have a chance to be our ally in a way we’ve never seen in a politician before.”
This is why it makes me so happy. The fact that he’s announcing his support at a key time during a re-election year - I know he hasn’t promised anything legislatively but the fact that he fucking took the leap feels like a big step. And I know the desire to immediately ask what happens next is strong. But I mostly want to take a moment to celebrate the fact that this happened. Taking a breath, enjoying it, feeling hopeful and happy about what is to come. And then we’ll talk about what to do next. -H

I used to answer a lot of relationship questions over at my other blog, the in-hibernation DEALBREAKER. Looking back, I find it really funny that anyone ever trusted...
