I was interviewed about my career in the entrepreneurial arts for this podcast: culturedept.com/podcast/004-the-ethical-artist-justin-hall - somehow the attention funnel I set up in 1994 continues to attract humans my way!

In 1994, journalist and entrepreneur Justin Hall launched Links.net, a.k.a. Justin's Links from the Underground. But he shared far more than mere links – he pioneered personal storytelling on the then-nascent web such that The New York Times Magazine referred to him as "the founding father of person...

it's true - what the video title says: I punched a car then came home and recorded a video, as the camera's handheld POV gradually drifted down my face.

In February 2016 Patrick Ewing came to my home studio to talk about his work on FireWatch, a popular new video game. I asked him about patrickewing.info, a web site he packed with intensely personal information. Plus Patrick Ewing described sharing a popular name; all this in the latest episode of the Justin Hall Show!

Japanese people tend to celebrate New Year's Eve quietly with friends and family. That leaves a few large public gatherings. This short video explores four activities in Tokyo on New Year's Eve: visiting the Meiji shrine (before the crowds), parading as a fox to the Oji Inari Shrine, visiting Tokyo Disneyland overnight, and joining a probably illegal dance party in the streets of Shibuya.

This latest episode of the Justin Hall Show employs conventions of Japanese television t...o celebrate New Year's Eve in Tokyo. Japanese television often features ワイプ - waipu - picture in picture of people's faces, reacting the content on screen. Sort of like a facial laugh track. Here's a picture-in-picture that inspired me during this production:

I attempted using waipu in two places, both where I refer to myself, breaking the new year's narrative. I don't think I do enough with my friends' fun faces in this video; I certainly didn't make anything as madcap as the giraffe situation above.

You may also notice that much Japanese television is not afraid of text. Loads of text onscreen, with glowing, outlined letters. This helped me further unleash fonts, building on the AJ+ inspired video experiment from last month: pee shy. Film forecast says more text in videos to come.

Annotating video feels important in 2016, especially for bringing along mobile viewers. Attempting both Japanese and English subtitles slowed me down but helped me practice my Japanese language skills. Having to transcribe the story lengthens the production time, but forces me to continuously re-evaluate what is worth communicating.

When I was a younger man I had trouble urinating in men's restrooms - my mind got busy preventing me from pissing. I made a video explaining that experience; maybe someone wrestling with the same issue can feel less alone.

Who controls the media we see on the streets? Maybe advertisers, and maybe street artists. The graffiti scene is dominated by men, and many advertisers are targeting our insecurities. Not everyone can abide this arrangement.

Rachel Cassandra & Lauren Gucik were eager to see their voices appear on the street. They teamed up together and made street art in San Francisco. After discovering the power in their collaboration, they searched out other communities of women making st...reet art. They found a vibrant female street artist scene active in Latin America, and they've chronicled the artists they met in their new book Women Street Artists of Latin America: Art Without Fear / Grafiteras y Muralistas en América Latina: Arte Sin Miedo. Women Street Artists of Latin America: Art Without Fear to see them on Facebook, or you can find more about the book at http://artesinmiedo.net or http://artwithoutfear.net

In this interview, Justin Hall, a friend of Rachel & Lauren, learns from them about street art, respect for public space, and women speaking out with brilliant color in a macho culture. You can find out more about this project on my web site at http://links.net/…/21-women-street-artists-of-latin-america…

Featured artists in this video include: Perversa (Bogota, Columbia), Ariz (Guatemala City), and La Kyd & Ladies Destroying (Managua, Nicaragua).

I've spent many hours happily hunched over the macabre city builder Rebuild on my iPad, http://rebuildgame.com, contributing just a few of the millions of games of Rebuild that have been played in the last few years. So I was eager to have a chance to learn from Rebuild's developer, Sarah Northway. Sarah herein describes Rebuild 3, her experience with open game development, her taste for the end of civilization, her voracious travel lifestyle, and the design of a game about wealth inequality.

The last premarital episode of the Justin Hall Show!

Feast your mind on this moving picture chronicle of September 2015 adventures, including a wedding officiated in a dust storm, taking Mom to Burning Man, exploring empathy at the XOXO Festival in Portland, being interviewed by a Kiwi and kissed by Suck and debuting the Metaphysical Plot Device within the Pataphysical Slot Machine. Amidst preparing to get married next month!

This is the first episode of the Justin Hall Show... since the mid-August release of overshare: the links.net story with working sound. In this video, and this post, I'll share some statistics and earnings from the film after six weeks live:

YouTube: 5,270 views
Facebook: 4,096 over 3 seconds; 1,220 over 30 seconds
http://Archive.org: 131 views
Vimeo: 66 views
Dailymotion: 60 views
overshare.VHX.tv: 36 units sold for $437

Thanks to Jason Scott, I was able to get a Torrent up and running for overshare.links.net as well via the Internet Archive. So if you haven't watched it, well, it's out there. And someone responded asking if I could come up with a regular podcast pitch. I love the moving pictures but maybe audio would be faster than video. Either way, I look forward to potentially working with other people in my media making!

Please enjoy this latest Justin Hall Show episode! Thank you for your support.

"One Of The First Webloggers Shares 6 Things He's Learned On The Internet" MTV News covers my film "overshare: the links.net story"! http://www.mtv.com/…/2250…/rules-for-internet-first-blogger/

Justin Hall, credited as one of the first personal bloggers on the internet, shares what he's learned about the web in his 20 years of oversharing online.
mtv.com

This is the seventh chapter from overshare: the Links.net story: http://overshare.links.net

Hello, my name is Justin Hall and I've been sharing my personal life in explicit detail online for over twenty years. Starting in 1994, my personal web site Justin's Links from the Underground has documented family secrets, romantic relationships, and my experiments with sex and drugs.

overshare: the links.net story is a documentary about fumbling to foster intimacy between strangers o...nline. Through interviews, analysis and graphic animations, I share my motivations, my joys and my sorrows from pioneering personal sharing for the 21st century. In 2004 the New York Times referred to me as "perhaps the founding father of personal weblogging." I hope this documentary reveals that I was a privileged white male with access to technology who worked to invite as many people as possible to join him in co-creating an internet where we have a chance to honestly share of our humanity.
