A View from the Back Bay

My name is Skip Pile, living in Boston and Nantucket Island and generally watching closely from a distance.

"So just to sum things up, Sarah Palin says I’m not a real American because I live in New York. New Yorkers say I’m not a real New Yorker because I live in Brooklyn, and Brooklynites say I’m not from real Brooklyn because I live in Williamsburg."

Canon and Vimeo hosted the largest collaborative, user-generated film effort in history

The Story Beyond The Still HD video contest launched the Canon 7D, offering aspiring filmmakers an affordable high-end DSLR, with the ability to shoot big screen quality films. Hosted on Vimeo, it quickly became the largest collaborative, user-generated film effort in history. The final collective film premiered at Sundance and now you have the chance to see how it all ended. Check it out!


Crimes against the soul.
A Polaroid photograph of the late Dennis Hopper, taken by fellow actor Jason Lee, was stolen from a small Los Angeles art gallery on Friday, and a reward of $25,000 is being offered by Lee to anyone who can bring it back. News of the theft was posted on the gallery’s website over the weekend.
The gallery said the theft took place “after the crowds had left and we were cleaning up … someone stole a piece off the wall and bolted out the front door.”
“The thief can come forward anonymously and charges won’t be pressed against him,” the gallery said on its website. People with information are asked to call (323) 747-5301 or e-mail this@thislosangeles.com.

Why We Must Protect the Global Fund

mpile:

Listen to this man. 

Also, I hate stats but that’s a good one: 11 years ago there were 40,000 people in Africa on ARVS (the drugs that keep you alive with HIV). Now there are 6.5 million— largely because of the Global Fund. 

So, stop hating on them.
