Hi, I’m Steve Isaacs.

Lately done work as a Creative Director at an interactive agency in New York City. Previously I made some rock with the bands The Panic Channel and Skycycle. Even previouslyer, I played “Tommy” in the rock opera and was an MTV VJ. Satisfied? No? Ok, well I was also the Jungle Cruise skipper at Disneyland. I’ve always been obsessed with the New.

This Vlog is a free-form HD ramble covering the latest in technology, Social Media, film, TV, what I see and hear in fantastic NYC.

My lovely Opera singing fiancée Melissa, and adorable kitty Chalupa also make guest appearances.

Feel free to introduce yourself, ask questions or make suggestions about the videos or the site in the comments, I’m glad to hear them. I’m also very active on Twitter and FriendFeed so friend me up!

Vlog Info:
I shoot the videos using a Canon HF10 HD video camera, and edit using iMovie ‘09. I recommend them both. This site is a WordPress blog running a theme called “On Demand” by theme designer Jason Shuller of Press75.

The videos are posted to Vimeo, which I use to populate the videos on this site. I use the Vimeo Plus service ($59.00 yearly) which offers player customization, HD embedding, and other goodies. I then double post to YouTube, and drop links on Twitter, FriendFeed, and Facebook. My system is always changing, though.
