As you may have already realised, the site looks completely different. This is because we have just upgraded the projectHOPE website to the WordPress blogging platform. This should bring projectHOPE up to speed with the rest of the Web 2.0 world. As this new site is still work in progress, there will be a few features that may be broken, but if you do find any, please send an email to HOPE Admin.
Also, if you prefer the old site, you can find it here
I spell awesome AMSA (american medical student assn). Francis and I are at AMSA 2009, meeting with some super cool med students, who also happen to be awesome at Guitar Hero. Come by our booth and say the phrase, ‘Nerd is the Nu Cool.’ and get a free calendar or t-shirt.
OK, things are moving along swimmingly. New site construction is underway, the ‘Thank You’ music video has been well received, our research fellow draws a step closer to starting in earnest - life is good. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
OK, we’ve just finished filming the principle footage for the projectHOPE music video. I’ll be sending off the raw capture to our video editor today. Before we did the last takes, Danny and I randomly checked out the documentary footage shot by Stanley Kubrick’s daughter during the filming of ‘The Shining’. Magical stuff, especially with the commentary on. It was on the now defunct HD DVD for the same, but I think you can find the documentary (sans commentary, sadly) online on YouTube.
Hey all - my apologies for not keeping this blog up to date. There’s been a ton of news regarding projectHOPE - so much so, I don’t quite no where to begin. My last post detailed some of the issues relating to the installation 23 Xbox360’s on one of the pediatric wings of John Hopkins hospital - well, thanks to the ceaseless efforts of the team, that installation can be chalked up as a success - the consoles are in and kids are playing them, yesseriie Bob! We’re still working out networking permissions, but with an institution as large as the Hopper, this is understandable. I’m going to drip feed the events of the past few months because one post simply wouldn’t do justice. Here are some highlights, tho: new website coming, frikken sweet online graphic novel coming, the mother of all fund-raisers, Comic-Con, and the launch of the HOPE merch store - dewds, this party just got real.
