I totally forgot to post this yesterday. Why didn’t anyone remind me? This week’s YouTube Video of the Week is from The Different Show, a local show airing on Erie cable access. They posted this video of Randy Barnes, president of KEEP, or Keep Erie’s Environment Protected. They are against the building of the world’s [...]

This week’s Erie YouTube of the video of week comes from Paul Lorei, a local photographer. He leads viewers on a tour of his studio and talks about some of the services he offers. This type of advertising is genius (and he hasn’t paid us to say so). Paul’s got charisma and excitement about his [...]

We reported yesterday that Erie Management Group created a video about Erie. I tried all day to watch it, but their servers were getting hammered. I did manage to grab the video and post it to Google Video, which can handle the load. EMG – I’d recommend putting a hi-res version of this video on [...]

This past weekend, the Powell Avenue Bridge was renamed for Staff Sargeant Jeremy Horton, who lost his life in Iraq. A fitting tribute to a fallen warrior.

I’ve been a fan of videoblogger and social media guru Gary Vaynerchuk for a couple of months now–he does a very interesting wine videoblog and posts personal videos on his own site. He put out a challenge to people yesterday – to make today a “good people day.” So, I wanted to take a quick [...]

In the second in our series of congressional candidate interviews, we had the chance to talk with Mike Waltner about his take on the issues and challenges facing the Erie region and the country as a whole. He also talks about why he feels he is the best candidate for the job and why he [...]
