is a website I designed having 2 embedded youtube video players, search bars, and a crossfader, allowing you to search for and load a video while the other one is still playing, & then seamlessly fade between each video.

they also have less intrusive ads than playing directly from youtube. unfortunately on phones you have to just press where you want the crossfader to go, doesn’t slide. Also iphones with their forced pop-out videoplayer screens suck, — but you can get around that on an iphone by “requesting Desktop site”. I might add soundcloud functionality if they stop threatening to go out of business

this is the DIRECTORS CUT of my first official music video, co-directed with Paola LaVerde.
the featured artist is Ta-Nefer ‘Urban Matriarch’ Lumukanda
the video went viral, including over 1,000,000+ views on our original YouTube posting, despite YouTube repeatedly censoring & taking down the link. & almost another million views on WSHH
the video was also featured on FOX News on August 22, 2013

Aquapy-web

alongside many wonderful friends helped make:

“a glorified raft with a plastic canopy nicknamed “Aquapy,” which floated in Lake Merritt for less than a week before being dismantled by the Oakland Police Department in December 2011. It was intended as a preamble to the West Coast Port Shutdown orchestrated through a nascent Occupy Oakland, a particularly strident iteration of the social movement then drawing attention throughout the country.”
