DocsByte: Battleground Iraq
I did a quick book blurb using my XO Laptop. Video quality isn’t great. If I do more, I’ll dispense with the sign with the SuDoc number. Otherwise I thought I got my point across.

The 1936 movie below does a good job of putting Alaska into context and explaining Alaska’s different regions. I was very surprised by the footage of my home town of Juneau, that starts about 5 minutes into the movie. The view today looks very similar to what it looked like in 1936. One difference is [...]

Leave to writers to have an articulate explanation of why they’re on strike. Watch the video and then tell me their case doesn’t make sense.
Since it wasn’t credited, I do have to wonder where the music came from. Hopefully it was podsafe.
