Images Now Functioning

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

Visitors to www.roderickrussell.com have been noting that the clickable thumbnails and accompanying captions in the “images” portion of the website have not been functional since a recent change to a new web host. I have unfortunately been on the road and unable to address the problem, but I’ve just now found the time to diagnose and fix the problem. Visitors will be happy to know that you can once again click on any of the thumbnails and get larger versions of the photos, oftentimes with accompanying credits and captions.

Note also that my previous image galleries from years past are also available as clickable links from the same page. As they are old galleries, not all of the code is functioning and I have no intentions of making it fully functional, but the images are nevertheless available and able to be viewed. Simply ignore any PHP errors that you may discover. They will not get in the way of viewing images. I keep these galleries around only because you’ve requested it, so please do enjoy.

Television Commercial Filming

Wednesday, July 5th, 2006

[note: post is one week late - originally intended post date was June 30]

This past week has been so unusually bizarre - though that seems to be the trend lately, so perhaps it’s not bizarre after all - that I’ve had no time to blog about a wonderful experience I had last Friday filming a commercial for the Magic Hat Brewing Company.

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of sampling the many unique varieties of Magic Hat, they are a wonderfully hip, fun and exceedingly creative company that has, in my opinion, carved out an amazingly clever, inventive and original space in the market.

For some time now my good friends the Bindlestiff’s have been working with them, performing a summer variety tour all across the eastern seaboard of good, wholesome vaudeville fun. The company has tried to book me in the past for promotional events but, my schedule being what it is, it had yet to work out.
