Evan Agee: Live from Richmond Indiana

The new Firefox 3 Beta 1 was released today to the public. I instantly downloaded and spent a little time looking at the changes they’ve made in this long awaited version. Let’s take a look at a few first impressions of the Mac version.

It feels as if my blog posts lately have been sporadic at best. I suppose it’s mostly due to all of the changes lately, most of them in my professional life. I decided it was a good time to write another entry and tell about the things that have been going on lately. So here it is.

I’ve taken the leap and uploaded the first video to YouTube of myself playing guitar. Here goes.

The solo section of “Line” a song I wrote and recorded. This video features the solo which I wrote to go with the song. HOWEVER, I’d love to see what some of you other YouTube guitarists would do if YOU were writing the solo for this song.

To record your solo you can download the backing track by visiting:

Then, record yourself playing YOUR solo with the song and upload your video as a video reply to this video. I’ve given you 8 bars of lead-in time but feel free to use that space to add on some more solo time, it’s all up to you!

Let’s see what you’ve got guys!

(NOTE: I’m not looking to write a better solo for the song, just thought it would be fun to see what others might do if they were writing a solo. All videos uploaded in response are the property of their respective owners.)

To upload your video response go to the YouTube page for this video.

If you’re not aware, the Writer’s Guilde of America (WGA) is currently on strike. You can read the full story on the WGA website.

The strike surely effects anyone who watches just about any television show. Personally I have grown to really appreciate the talents of many specific writers and truly value their contribution to the films and TV shows we watch. I’ve watched several videos and seen many photos of these writers on the picket lines, here’s one of my favorites of Lost writer/producer Carleton Cuse. Click to enlarge an read his sign.

And a short interview with another Lost producer/writer Damon Lindelof.

Lost isn’t scheduled to come back on air until February, however, several other popular shows, including “24″ and “The Office” have already been placed on hiatus until the strike is over. Let’s hope all parties involved can come to a quick and fair decision.
