The Zombie Chronicles

Below are 8 videos (which I actually embedded as a playlist from YouTube) that I took in my shed while Tom Woodward and I were preparing our “live interview” for Jared Stein and Marc Hugentobler’s “Late Night Learning Live” presentation, which you can see here in its entirety.
I made 8 separate two or [...]

“My Students were Teenage Zombies”

Update: A much better post about this course and its use of the blog was written by Luke Waltzer here, read that instead.
Mikhail Gershovich’s “Fear Anxiety and Paranoia” film class had some unexpected visitors: student zombies! Something Tom Woodward and I have always known existed, but it is horrifying to finally see them emerge in [...]

Why I Tweet

Jeff Swain recently published a video asking others why they Tweet, so I figured I would respond. As usual, it’s hard for me to be serious about anything, especially through video, and despite two takes at a response I still think I failed. But hey, I’m the bava, and my theme is clean
Why [...]

Blind Date from Hell

Catchig up on my RSS reader is always a joy, and one of the most consistent and indisposable YouTube filters in my reader is the Media Funhouse blog, without fail there are at least 5 or ten posts that lead me into the rabbit hole that is YouTube. I love Ed Grant’s stuff, and [...]

Santa Cogdog

As some of you may know, I have been posting a boatload about toys over the past three or four months, I still have four more posts to write, but I wonder if this one isn’t a fitting end to the series, if if a bit preemptive. Cogdog has been chiding me all along [...]

Have a very betamaxmas

With just 45 minutes left in what has been an amazing Christmas at la casa bava, I’d just like to send out some warm season greetings from the mighty bava to all my loyal subjects. And as a special thank you, I am going to recycle a gift I recently got from Scott “hot [...]

Adventures in Stormtrooping

I have to say that this series by Greg Easton Photography that visually narrates the adventures of Stormtroopers using the Star Wars action figures is hysterical and pretty amazing.

Though my favorite is this one, with the “Nuke Canada” arcade game, how do I get my hands on that one?

The Art of Roy Rogers

When I am with Tom Woodward, I make art.
This piece documents those special spaces in the US cultural landscape—like Check Cashing joints and 1970s strip malls—the highway food stops along the I-95 have a special place in my heart. Particularly, I like my fried chicken from Roy Rogers—it’s the culinary b-ness of the bava blog.

Edupumkin, or how Tom Woodward stole my heart

If you don’t think Tom Woodward is a total maniac already, you’ll need no more proof than this to be finally convinced.  How can I not love this guy with all my heart, he is the creative master behind everything on the bava of worth for just about the last two years.  Long live the [...]

NOBODY!

Andy Rush illustrates the truth with this tweet! The bava, shaping traffic patterns since 2005!
