My long time readers are probably aware that I have been using the Internet to criticize the President of Bard College, my alma mater, for over 15 years over things like the appointment of the wretched Martin Peretz to the board of trustees, the transformation of the school effectively into an arm of George Soros's Open Society Institute, and most recently the sacking of Joel Kovel for his anti-Zionist writings.
Using new tools at my disposal (IMovie and Vimeo), I have made a couple of videos that should be of interest. The first is an interview I conducted with Joel Kovel where he discusses his experience working at Bard College over a 21 year period. It can be seen at: http://vimeo.com/14503142 The other is something I call "Leon and Me", which stars yours truly as he takes the viewer on a walking tour of the campus on the occasion of my 45th anniversary reunion weekend. It is a mixture of nostalgia and political commentary with some good jokes, I believe: http://vimeo.com/14524794 Just a word on why I am using Vimeo rather than Youtube. Unlike Youtube, Vimeo does not enforce a 10 minute time limit for uploaded videos, something that was very important to me for the sake of continuity. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
