Here’s another of my tunes. Just me, my guitar, and the mic in the studio. Oh yeh, there was a camera pushing me to Ustream.tv, too. [grin]

Rich’s Song on DVD: Kids Love Fire Engines!
A few years ago I was approached by Cameron Barrett of “That’s Crispy” about a video that she and her husband were producing. They were working with the Los Angeles Fire Department to produce a video for kids called “Kids Love Fire Engines!” Cameron asked if they could use a few of my children’s safety songs for the show. I gladly agreed to let them do so.
They finished the video some time later and copies have been available for some time at FirefightingVideos.org. I stopped by the site recently and discovered that it may be offline. I found that a few other sites are offering it, though. It can be found at CreateSpace.com (which is where I found the included video preview that I added to this post), and at Amazon.com
It’s a fun production, check it out if you have the opportunity.
Keyboard Cat Mocks Colbert
I could not resist sharing this. Yes, I know, it has become cliche, but it is funny. Admit it.
I find it hilarious that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are together on the same clip, too.

Storm Cleanup – Day 3
Power came back to our neighborhood last night, but most of our community is still without electricity.
My wife spent the good portion of the day working in the yard. I joined her in the late afternoon so that I could run the chainsaw and get the larger branches and trees down to manageable size.
Fire Headquarters is still running on generator power. Interestingly enough, I had to work there today while preparing and sending out media releases. I have full power and internet access at home. At work I was working from an EV-DO card and shuffling files via flash drives to a computer that was hooked to a printer in our conference room. It would have been much more efficient to do this work from my home office, I think.

Fire Burns Portions of Universal Back Lot
Universal Studios fire
Apparently a fire broke out in the back lot of the Universal Studios properties in Los Angeles yesterday morning. I was out of touch with much of mainstream media throughout the day, so I happened upon the reports this morning.
Some movie sets burned
The Associated Press reports show that the fire destroyed a set from “Back to the Future,” the King Kong exhibit and a video vault containing more than 40,000 videos and reels. Fortunately copies of the movie and television materials are held in other locations, as well.
Rough interview
I feel bad for Los Angeles Fire Department PIO Darryl Jacobs. The MSNBC reporter that was interviewing him during the fire sounded like she had no idea where to go with her questions. She would restate the obvious or rework phrases just to have something to ask. Or, so it seemed.
Here’s a copy of the interview:
A challenging fire to fight
The blaze was believed to be one of the longest-running commercial fires in Los Angeles County history. Fire Captain Mike Brown of the LA County FD has been reported to say, “It is one of the longest fires to extinguish because of its complexity and size.”
Who mentioned Utterz Ambassadors?
Somebody said something about applying to become an Utterz Ambassador. I don’t want to be blatantly obvious, but I think I would be a good ambassador for the program.
I’m not "too" flagrant or passionate about Utterz, but I sure have told a lot of people about it. Some of them even give me cow-eyed stares as if they don’t get it. But, I just ask them to visit my blogs at http://richpalmer.com/blog or http://richpalmer.livejournal.com/ to see how I’ve cross-posted my quips from the road, from my studio, or wherever I happen to be.
I show them the video and photos that I’ve sent in to Utterz from my phone. And I show them how Utterz has allowed me to get that onto several other sites, like blip.tv and YouTube or Twitter or Pownce.
Again, I don’t want to be blatantly obvious (Utterz Ambassador Rich Palmer), but I think (Utterz Ambassador Rich Palmer) that I would represent very well.
Vote Rich Palmer Utterz Ambassador 2008.
This message approved by me, Rich Palmer, candidate for Utterz Ambassador.

I Love When They "Get It"
I really dig it when a company understands their client base. The majority of musicians that use Myxer.com as their ring tone delivery method are likely guitarists.
Myxer understood this and designed a shirt with their logo on the upper right shoulder. Why? The guitar strap (for most players) goes over the left shoulder.
If they put the logo in the traditional place that most logos are placed it would be covered by the guitar strap and probably even the guitar!
They get it.
I’ll wear this on stage and people will be able to see this logo very clearly.
By the way… go to http://myxer.com/richpalmer to get some of my ring tones for your phone. (I’m going to upload more right after I post this!)

Fun Kid Song
Kids songs are cool
I’m a sucker for a good kids song. Of course, I’ve written and produced my own album for kids (did you see the link called “Children’s CD” at the top of this blog?). I’m always encouraged and pleased to see songs that are obviously fun for kids. I appreciate when the artist knows how to connect with the little ones’ abilities to learn while having fun.
Eric Herman gets it
One such song that I recently discovered is by Eric Herman. It is called “The Elephant Song.” Here’s the video:
A lot of videos
I found this at mDIALOG.com. mDIALOG is a social video site that I recently joined. Look for me there as “richpalmer.” I’m still working out the kinks for using the service. Their uploader tool doesn’t like to talk to my web-cam or audio device right now. Other services connect fine, but this one doesn’t seem to like me. I like the site, though. And if I were to critique their video clarity, I would say it is one of the best social video sites in that aspect.
I’ll likely share more about mDialog here or on my show Blogs, Views and Blues in the near future.
