News Burst: May 10, 2017

Hello!

I hope today’s News Burst finds you all very well, indeed. I’m in the middle of editing tomorrow’s video, which will, as always, go live at 9a PT. I hope you all enjoy it.

Two notes: First of all, the video I had planned going out on social media today will now go live on Friday, so keep an eye out for it, and let me know what you think. Secondly, I was up until 5a last night editing, rendering, and posting this month’s Q&A video, so if you are at the $10...

News Burst: May 09, 2017

Hey All,

I hope you’re all very well, and that you had a fantastic weekend (and Monday). I’m hanging in there. Santa Monica’s been great; the weather has been mild, which is nice. Still much to do, however. Seems like there’s a minor obstacle everywhere I look. For instance, I had to have the cable guy come over this morning (he got here at fucking 8:30a!) to fix the cable box I don’t even really want or need. C’est la vie.

If you’re a $10+/month supporter, you...

It's almost like the media is trying to smear these people, or something.

News Burst: May 05, 2017

Yo!

The weekend is finally here! I’ll be working right on through it, but I hope many of you find some time for rest, relaxation, food, family, and friends.

Monday’s video should be a doozy. It’ll touch on the French election -- which will be decided by then -- but in a far broader way, with many more elements included in the overall story. ‘Cause it’s not about the French election per se, but about something I think important pertaining to it, as well as to American politics ...

Reflections After 10 Episodes

The last two months have been a whirlwind. The busiest, craziest, and most tiring of my life.

Funny thing is, the last two months of my life have also been the most exhilarating and rewarding I’ve experienced in my 32 years on this planet. I’ve never felt so creative, so excited, and so personally and professionally fulfilled.

Life comes at you like that, sometimes. With highs and lows, sometimes in extremes, stitched together just-so in order to create a new ta...

News Burst: May 03, 2017

Hey Guys and Gals,

I hope this finds you well! As promised last night, I’m posting this one later than usual to keep it distanced from yesterday’s later post. I will strive to recapture a more sane and timely schedule for News Bursts moving forward. =)

ICYMI, I added a $55 tier to Patreon today -- just above the $50 tier for postcards -- where I’ll print out the #ADayWithoutAWoman Tweet on good paper, sign it, and send it off to you. Some folks were asking for it, so I...

Never Forget

I sure won't. Best thing that ever happened to me.

We're all here, together, because of this moment. =)

News Burst: May 02, 2017

Hey All,

I hope you’re doing well! As I mentioned in my earlier note, this is (very) late today because of moving stuff. Erin and I have been running around buying what we need, and it’s… well… it’s annoying. But we found a really, really good Italian restaurant, and now I’m certain I’m going to be morbidly obese.

Let’s delay no further, though. Here’s the news! (I'll make tomorrow's News Burst similarly late so we don't have these on top of one another, and then we'll ...

A New Month Begins

 Hey All,


I hope this message finds you well, and that May -- in its early-going, anyway -- is doing you right. 

I wanted to write you all a brief note to thank you for your continued support of this endeavor. I'm having such a great time making Colin's Last Stand (and interacting with all of you as much as I can), and it's heartening to see so many of you stick around for CLS' third calendar month. This is what I want to do with my life. If you're reading this ...

News Burst: April 26, 2017

Hey Fam-a-lam,

I hope you’re all well! Sorry this one is a little late (and perhaps a bit short, though that's simply because there's not an incredible amount going on since yesterday). I’ve been editing tomorrow’s video and getting it all ready for publish. It’s a doozy, if I do say so myself!

There’s not much else to report. Packing is going well (you may have seen some of my nostalgic posts on Twitter or Instagram), and we’re really excited to make the move, a...

News Burst: April 25, 2017

Hey All,

I hope you are doing well, and that you enjoyed yesterday’s new episode of Colin’s Last Stand (which was Part II of the CalExit miniseries, if you’re curious). Thursday’s episode is going to be about something more inherently political (and timely), and will be filmed in my emptying old apartment. So, stand by for that. Or, as they say in Japan, “please look forward to it.”

Speaking of moving, I’m already very tired. Then again, it’s strangely satisf...

A Note on This Week

Hey Fam,

I wanted to reach out to you guys and gals to briefly let you know what's happening this week, and into early next week, just in case I'm less engaged than usual.

This coming weekend (and into early next week), Erin and I are moving to Santa Monica. So this week, I have to pack. I'm a minimalist by nature, and I pride myself on not having a lot of worldly possessions, but still, I haven't moved in seven years, so things stack up. Hundreds of books, video games, memorabilia...

(Weekend) News Burst: April 21, 2017

Hey All,

I hope this Weekend News Burst finds you well!

I apologize for the later-than-preferred posting of this. In case you didn’t see or read about it (and frankly, why would you), we had a massive power outage in San Francisco today. So I didn’t even get power back until like two hours ago (give or take). The good news is that, without power, I got a ton more postcards written and shipped. So again, if you were at the $50+/month level back in March, keep an eye on yo...

News Burst: April 19, 2017

Hey All,

I hope today’s News Burst finds you well!

Postcards (for March) have begun going out, and my hand feels like it’s going to fall off. So, if you were at the $50+/month level in March, keep an eye on your mail over the next week or so. I’m going to be sending more out everyday. (April postcards will go out in May, and so on and so forth.)

Otherwise, let’s jump into the news. Not a specifically heavy day, but there are some interesting entertainment news...

News Burst: April 18, 2017

Hey All,

I hope you are all doing very well!

First off, thank you for the kind feedback on yesterday’s North Korea video. I’m so pleased so many of you enjoyed it. I’ll be doing another “off the cuff” video for Thursday, further kicking the second CalExit video down the road a bit, though how far remains to be seen (I’d like to just get it up and out of the way as soon as possible, frankly).

Erin and I heard back that we are essentially good to go with our ...
