War on the Waterfront
The mighty Monitor, the ironclad Civil War ship, was built on Greenpoint’s gritty waterfront. The Graving Dock at the Todd Shipyards in Red Hook was the terminal for ships traveling from the Erie Canal. The Old Dutch Mustard Company in Williamsburg churned out prepared mustard, vinegars and fruit juice for half a century. The mustard building was torn down last fall, and other sites in Brooklyn are soon to be transformed into apartments and stores in an ambitious neighborhood revitalization effort that is a cornerstone of the Bloomberg administration’s economic development initiative. But today the National Trust for Historic Preservation plans to sound the alarm by declaring Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront one of America’s 11 most endangered historic places. |

Vlogversation :: Road82 & WBurg.TV
Aaron's "Bigger Eye" comprised the beginning of WBurg.TV Vol. 1, No. 4.
As part of our licensing negotiation, we agreed that his footage was worth (at least) a toothbrush in addition to the usual five-second vlogvertisement we provide WBurg.TV video magazine content creators.
This wee motion picture from Aaron documents that the toothbrush did indeed land in Clackamas as promised.
This is part of what is meant when all the Web 2.0 folks talk about business being a conversation.

How do you converse with your customers?
The point being to move folks to ACTION.
The point being, who knew Elmo was such a diva?

"keep your art to yourself next time"
A critical review of street art.
I find Wburg's street art among the best on the planet.

Participatory Culture.
Let me say that poetic phrase again:
PARTICIPATORY CULTURE.
That's a town in which WBurg.TV wishes to live. Wonder what the streets are named in that town?
