I really appreciate them, and you reading it.

As far as the “Add This” buttons, I’ve used them in the past and think they’re great. Definitely better than a lot of what’s out there; makes sharing a cinch!

Hope that helps!

I noticed they will load a lot of code, so i’m
undecided if its worth adding them, due the raise of KB of the overall filesize.
Have you ever give it a shot? I am excited to hear what
other bloggers say about that? Please sent me a message to vivian.
marx@gmail.com if you have any working experience with those add-ons.
Thx .. btw, luv the blog since months!

And wow, did you say it wonderfully: “it’s about building a community through trust and mutual respect.” Thank you for sharing that tidbit, my friend.

I was a teaching assistant for several semesters while getting my MA, so that would be, what, the first rung of a rather daunting ladder. And I have no intention of getting a PhD, not when there are films to be made, and money to be raised to make those films! But the system is stacked against the adjunct and associate and assistant professors and all those other demarkations which merely mean: you are less than a full professor (and even then, you have to prime and fluff yourself for tenure and review). But teaching is honorable and it is an art and it is worthwhile pursuing: as I intend to do, vocationally, while still making films and writing. Since you wrote this post, of course, I’ve begun my Indiegogo campaign, you’ve advised me on it, we’ve corresponded about cats, yours and mine, and I’ve become a supporter of other campaigns on Indiegogo and Kickstarter,too. I think teaching and crowd-funding have one fundamental and very crucial similarity: its about building a community through trust and mutual respect.
